I don't usually answer the phone if I don't recognize the name or number that comes up on my caller I.D.
Just got a call from a name and number I didn't recognize, so I let the machine get it. Seems it was a couple of little (probably 4 or 5, I'm guessing) kids making prank phone calls, being silly, talking about poop and pee aS kids that age tend to do.
Of course they're to young to comprehend the existence and ramifications of caller I.D.
So I called back and the dad answered and I said "Hi, you don't know my, my name is ***** *******, and I just wanted to alert you to the fact that the kids are making prank phone calls, and I just got one!"
BUST-ED! |

I remember making calls when I was a kid.... I think it was something to the effect of "Did you know your toilet's running? Better go catch it." Or something stupid like that. Thank goodness they didn't have caller id then!!! |

Ya know what, I think the refrigerator makes more sense - maybe that's what we said (I was lead down this criminal path by my older brother of course - I never would have done it otherwise ) |

I actually let my daughter prank call her godfather because of caller ID. What kinda childhood are these kids having without prank calls?

We used to look up DUNN in the phonebook and call them.
[In a pretend wacky voice] "Hello?! Are you Dunn?"
"Uh, yes..."
"Then wipe yourself, you slob!"
Click.
Oof course that was a long time ago.... |

Hi! We're taking a survey, do you have any John's in your house? 'No?' Then how do you go to the bathroom?
Also another 'prank' people use to pull was to order pizzas to someone else.
My first year of college, living on campus, one of my sisters, along with a friend of hers, was making pranks phone calls from my phone number. Imagine the surprised look not only on their faces, but my father's when the police showed up at our house looking for me, because the phone was in my name!
My father kept saying it was impossible because JTA was living on campus during the week, and what makes it even more impossible, my daughter doesn't have a phone in her name! What a shock he had when he discovered I had had a phone in my name since I was 15. We just didn't tell him or my mom. I had the phone company come while they were at work, then another other sister and I rearranged the room we shared so my room so my bed hid the phone jack! |

We were too good to do the prank phone call but we did the prank answer instead...'Melbourne morgue, can I lend you a hand?' and other suitably macabre offerings. My brother was the champion prank answerer - even family was never sure exactly who they had rung!
He probably got it from his uncle, my mum's brother who is now a highly respected ultra-serious Talmudic scholar. Shortly after the War, he'd run around Paris in his Scout's uniform, hailing cabs and asking 'are you free?'. Receiving a 'yes' reply, he'd yell 'Long live freedom!' and run away!! (another notable prank was smuggling girls into a major jamboree in the days before the scouting movement was co-ed but I can't remember all the details on that one...) |
