Prank calls

[TheRuffellator]

As anyone who knows me will tell you I love a good prank/wind up, after convincing a mate at work to phone London zoo (wasn't aware of who's number it was at the time) and ask for Mr C Lion I think I'm in need of some new underwear!

Anyone got any stories of good prank calls they've done?
*I'm well aware of the immaturity of it, it's what makes it so fun! :D *

Got a colleague to phone the gay & lesbian help line

He had a message on his desk to ask for Mr Wright

The bloke on the end of the line must have heard it a thousand or more times.

I've called colleagues and pretended to be one of our Dutch colleagues, always amusing.

Haven't done that for a while....... there's an idea?

my mate was going to book a meal for him and his girlfriend for anniversary or something like that but didn't know where to take her so i gave my input and told him to book a very busy restaurant in bournemouth and i told him i'd text him the number, what i actually done was gave him my work line. so when he called i got one of the designers to answer as this restaurant and he asked to reserve a table, she put him on hold to get someone from reservations( me ) so they could sort it all out and book. as you've probably gathered he turned up to the restaurant to find out he had no booking :) was amusing

Now that's just plain mean!

The oldest one in our book is telling someone to ring Gatwick Police and ask for DC Ten. Doesn't work anymore, none of the officers there are old enough to know what they are!

Granty that is just harsh, even by my standards!

Actually I have a bit of a reverse one, I used to work in a dept that set policies up on the systems and had a call for a colleague to call a customer back, can't remember their name now but it was a VERY unfortunate one, gave my mate the message and he thought it was a prank.

Eventually he called them thinking it was someone else in the office and was joking around and taking the pee a bit. His face was priceless when he realised it was an actual customer!

We used to have a PA announcement that was broadcasted over a large Telephone exchange I used to work in.
It was "manned" by the receptionists. On a number of occasions one or other of them was called and asked to broadcast out a building wide message...

"Would Mr (???) please ring Mike Hunt as soon as possible"

Jolly japes...:-/

When someone is talking on the phone, gently pull away the ear piece from their ear, they will pull the phone back towards their ear.

At this point you let go and they smack themselves on the side of the head with the phone.

Marvellous fun.

I tend to find that the more effort you put in pulling the phone away the stronger they **** themselves on the head with the phone. :D

I do a good impression of my boss, I've rung a few of the lads telling them their performance is below par and clients have complained, one client enquired as to whether they had cerebral palsy

... They only caught on when I called them a worthless little ****stain!

Got the new boy to call the MPGS dog section and ask for CPL Barker.

Had one bloke go to the tech workshops to collect the wireless cables. The blokes there taped up a MASSIVE empty box and watched him struggle to carry it down the main drag on camp.

Sent one new bloke out to get a left handed hammer and a tin of tartan paint. This backfired though as there is a paint that the colour is "tartan" so I owed him £12.

A mate of mine sent me a message saying that he had got very drunk on a night out, had spent the night with a woman and had lost his clothes. The message then asked if I could phone him at the womans pad on a London, asking for Liz.

That turned out to be the Buckingham palace press office. :smt092



A while back we started being plagued by sales calls asking for someone who did not live at our house. Despite complaints, the calls just kept coming and occasionally they still do. So we started answering the phone in various odd ways. They very quickly put the phone down if they think that you are about to be a maniac. The best results came when we started telling them that the person was recently dead. One woman was quite upset because she claimed that she had only recently spoken to the person! :smt081

We once got one of our mates to prank his own mother when we were teenagers, someone dialled his house number and passed him the phone..

One of the lads had a visit to the GUM clinic not so long ago and mentioned that he was waiting for his result by text message. One of the other lads text him from a random mobile number advising that he had tested positive for chlamydia, to contact the clinic for treatment and also to notify and possible partners who could have caught it from him....

He confessed to his missus that he'd cheated on her and that she might have chlamydia, only to then get the legitimate text saying that he was all clear. Apparently he saw the funny side.

I've always wondered about ordering a load of pizza's from pizza hut, and then another massive order from domino's, to the same address - and then when they turn up, see if it turns into a westside story style musical dance off..... or a delivery pizza turf war..

All our phones at work have a screen to say which extention number is calling so we used to dial out to the dialing clock then dirvert to their phone, they see a out side call so they answer just to hear the speking clock on the other side.......lol.
but doing it every half hour through out the day did take the p*ss...
but it was bloody funny.

Once there was a particularly nasty young lady who worked on our floor. I say worked, but she didn't. One day I took a call that was for her team, so I called over to her and said I was transferring this call. Once she'd finished dealing with the call, she put down the receiver and gave me a tirade of expletives. I was dumbfounded, as it was her job!

So I got my revenge a few days later, I got on the fax machine and dialled her extension. Fax machine tone at full volume in her ear, not once but 3 times, as that was the default.:D

Made my colleagues laugh, as they had witnessed the tirade & were as shocked as I was.
