Prank Calling

[Sister Havana]

My grade school best friend and I used to do this one late at night when we slept over at each other's houses:
We'd call some number at random from the phone book. When the person would answer, we'd use our sleepiest voices and say "I'm sorry to bother you, but your dog is barking at my cat and I can't get to sleep." Most of the time, the person would say "I don't have a dog." We'd perk up and say "That's OK, I don't have a cat!" One time, though, the guy who answered said "Fine, I'll bring the dog in!" and slammed the phone down.

This used to absolutely slay us.

That is funny for grade school.

In 6th grade while at a sleepover, we decided to do some random prank calling. I called this lady and told her that her husband had left his undies at my house and hung up. We weren't smart enough to block our number back then, so she called back after we'd all gone to sleep. She told my friend's mom and we got in trouble. We still laugh about it to this day.

She was probably very certain, in her drunken state, that he WAS there and you were just lying to keep him to yourself!

These aren't necessarily prank calls, but worth noting...

1. My phone number is close to a nearby store's phone number. It's only off by one digit. Whenever people call here asking if I have a certain thing in stock, I answer "We have not had ______ in stock for 7 years, get with the times, buddy!"

2. I have a friend who sometimes answer our calls with a fart. Ewwww, lol. You hear *ring* *ring* *PFFFRRRRTTTTT*

Gotta love those people who can fart on command. Lucky dogs.

Was anyone ever young enough to get caught by the refridgerator running gag? And have friends young enough to actually DO it?

*raises hand* I must have been just old enough to dial the phone and know how to answer it, and so was my friend. Now it's just kind of embarassing to admit getting caught by it.
