Ok so I confess when I was twelve my friend and I were stickel bored with babysitting for four hours sleeeping kids.
Soooooooooooo, we resorted to using the white pages and calling certain numbers randomley and putting on a weird voice etc to the poor reciever of that call.
Those were a 'series of episodes' of my outlaw days embarrassed

But I have now heard that being done in a sophisticated evil fashion Exploding anger

My sons yeshiva recieved from a triefa pizza store a 450.00 whopping bill with a hot treifa meal enclosed delivery for a party it said.

Anyways they had to do a lot of convincing to the management that it wasn't them who ordered it. well guess what another boys yeshiva had for fun made that call Mad

I too have heard of spiteful people ordering dominoes pizza to an enemy’s house… and I’ve even heard of a ex-worker sending a call-girl to his boss! Point is, those of us with this guilt in our past, let it go (Is your refrigerator running? Go catch it!). Just take it as a lesson and teach your kids responsibility.

I know someone who used to go to the mall and take home the little papers that people used to fill out to win that big red jeep. Then at night, she would call them all, from boredom. YOUR’RE THE LUCKY WINNER…. That is evil, cruel, shocking, despicable… I would never stoop so low.

We used to call up people in the phone book and pretend to know them. We would time how long we could talk to them before they figured out they don't know us at all. It was hysterical.

How about this one:

Ring ring, "Hello?"
"Hello, please may I speak with Mrs. Smith?"
"No, you have the wrong number."
"Oh, I'm sorry"
Hang up.

Repeat 4-5 times.

5 minutes later, call up again. "Hello, this is Mrs. Smith. Have there been any calls for me?"

Or this one:

"Hello, can I speak to Mr. Wall?
"No, no-one here with that name."
"Well can I speak to Mrs. Wall then?"
"No, No-one here with that name"
"Well, are there any Walls at all there?"
"No"
" NO WALLS? YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE, IT'S GONNA FALL DOWN ANY SECOND!!!!!"

With caller ID, I thought these sorts of calls were a thing of the past. I know the local kosher resturant always takes down the phone number off caller ID for all phone orders.

Back in the 70's, there wasn't much else to do; that and board games. Dont' worry, Tefilah, you're safe from me now.

Now everything is charged to the card. I think she was a child back when they still sent bills after you signed up.

Maybe now you do. In the late 60's, early 70's it was a different world !!!!!

Or the classic:
"Hello, this is the refrigerator repairman - is your refrigerator running?"
"Yes."
"Well you'd better go catch it!"

We once got a pizza delivery on Pesach. My father was begging them to NOT step foot in our house to call the store and confirm the order!
