[QUOTE="Barak, post: 294262, member: 3028"] Bah... I only did one true prank call in my life, and it was to someone I knew. I was about 14, and that guy we knew was a real.. pain. Always trying to prove he was better then everyone. His deal at one point was his baseball card collection. One of my friend had his phone number, so I called him one saturday evening, passing myself as the owner of a local hobby shop that dealt sport cards. It was relatively late (like 10PM), and his mom answered, saying that the kid was in bed. Well I convinced her to wake him up. When he came to the phone, I told him that I had heard through the grapevine about his collection, and could he come in the next day with his cards? He might get a job out of it. When he asked me how come I'd be there on a sunday (turns out the store was closed on sundays, I didn't know) I told him I was gonna be doing inventory. Anyway, we ended up hanging up, with me vaguely telling him I'd be at the store the next day betwee 11am and 2pm. Well. Next day, I'm on my way to go play hockey with my buddies at 10:30 or so, and who's in front of the store with his two huge boxes of cards, waiting hopefully? Yep, mr Dork himself. That was nice. :) These days I use my powers on telemarketers only. [/QUOTE]
