Prank Calls... Do these people actually have no lives or what?
We put an advert in our local Newspaper for Friday offering poultry for sale, etc, and we've had a lot of interest as we expected, but we've also had a few prank calls as well and it's doing my nut in. Do these people actually have no lives?
By Friday evening around 11pm we had had 2 prank calls and this morning (Saturday) we had another at around 9.30am. These idiots don't even sound like kids messing around... they sound like full grown men acting like complete bell-ends. I wish I could tell them how ridiculous they are because they think they're being funny when they're just making a fool out of themselves. They must be single lonely men because I honestly can not imagine anyone else doing it? :freak3: With one chap, I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not, so I didn't know whether to put the phone down or continue to act professional and try to help. In then end I stopped talking and he put the phone down on me lol. Anyone else had similar experiences? :RantOff: |
deffo a greater number of knobbers out there now.

I had a sort of similar experience years ago but it wasn't really pranks, more harassment. Jealous wannabee gangsters (one in particular) where my first girlfriend lived started phoning me saying they were going to do this and that. Some pretty nasty stuff. Culminated in them showing up when I was parked somewhere and me almost running one of them over, then a high speed chase ensuing, after which about 8 of them waited on me with golf clubs etc near my girlfriend's house. They also got one of the nastiest pieces of work around here to call me and say he was going to come to my house and chop me and my family up.
I was too young and stupid/scared to do the right thing and put a stop to it. Be a different story now... but then people like that only take weak targets. Count yourself lucky. :D |

:RantOff: I don't get them that often at all, but I have had some prank emails and texts as well. I had a text this week from some Mike, saying, "Hi Tina, be gd to see u mmmmmmmmm xxxx." I had come out for my lunch break, and happened to check my phone. My usual reaction would have been to ignore such sh!t but I thought of letting the poor guy know that he got the wrong number, just in case Tina was his girlfriend or something. So I texted back with "Sorry, you have texted the wrong number." It instantly texted back, saying, " v. sory, i nrly incld my pic! hv gud pm." Not that I had to, but I texted back "U too". IT texts back, "will i if nbr. i cud do wth sum." WTF???? What a weirdo!:freak3: I knew it was someone taking a p!ss. I just regret not to text back to him that he was texting a 6 footer gay copper with fat belly and manky teeth, and I could stick fireworks up his bumhole if he liked. :lol1: Some people, eh? <shakes head> :lol1: |

"will i if nbr. i cud do wth sum."
What does that mean?!! |
kids doing it, i would play along and laugh, prank calls even to me are mildly amusing for a short time
full grown men, wtf?? |
I used to stick an advert in asda every so often offering kittens free to a good home and stick my mates number down. That usually guaranteed a few dozen annoying calls to their mobile. Of course now I'm much more mature and would never dream of doing such a thing.

Exactly. I take it as some inquiry to pursue the act. he did text back with- "sori, a bit naughty". What a bellend. :lol1: I reckon It was some uneducated chav who's into texting sexing, I think. He thought if Tina wasn't available, whoever random stranger got his text messages might also be as horny as him, and would oblige. Doesn't matter if that person is an 80 year old wrinkly granny with all teeth missing or some gayboy who'd bust his back passage. :lol1:
