Here's one for prank calls gone wrong.

I was 14, and a friend and I decided to prank the hot girl in school. Fast forward a few weeks and my friend and another friend were walking along the street when a car stopped, and out stepped hot girls mobbed up boyfriend and his 18yo brother (hot girl remained in car). My friend proceeded to get his ass kicked in front of my other pussy friend, who just happened to be holding a fucking baseball bat while standing there watching.

Friends who watch friends get their ass kicked aren't friends. WTF man.

If you are 14 and he is getting beat up by 18 year olds, you probably piss your pants and think "glad it's not me". Chances are he'd get 1/2 a swing with the bat and the 2 older boys would beat him down. Now you have nobody to get you to the hospital.

For some reason I found it fun to order pizza to the house a few doors down. of course at the time I didn't realize that I was hurting the pizza places business and not my neighbor.

us: THEN LET US PRAY

not as funny now as it was back then

them: Ummmm, ok. * click *

Here is mine.

Me: "Hello madam this is so and so and I'm calling to let you know that your husband left his wallet at Molly's whorehouse".

Lady: "I'm sorry who is this again"?

Me: "Molly's whorehouse, your husband left his wallet here and he needs to come by and pick it up".

Lady: Screaming in the background at husband and then the phone hangs up.

Yes, since there are actually establishments called "Molly's whorehouse." Maybe it's located next to Bobby's Crack Den, or Ted's Money Laundering Services?

My friends who were idiots did stuff like that, but they weren't very smart. They called me laughing and said they tricked someone by telling them they had won a Pontiac Grand Prix.
Being as dumb as they were, they pronounced it "Grand Pricks".
Based on that, I doubt the people believed them.

I used to do the old Al Bundy prank.

Call someone with authority in your voice stating "this is the phone company, we'll be doing some work on the phones lines down the street and it's critical that you do not answer the phone for the next 30 mins or my technician will be elecrouted".

Don't give them a chance to respond and then hang up.

Then wait a few moments then call back.

Then keep calling.

Over and over until they give in then scream into the phone like you're being shocked "whhhhhhyyy wooooouuuullllllddddd yooooouuuuu aaaaaannnnnnssssswwwweeerrr ahahaahhaahahahahahaa!!!!!" then hang up.

LOL

Got some poor old lady crying one time doing that :(

I remember in middle school calling a buddy's home phone, and leaving a message as the school principal that the kid had been ditching classes. The mom apparently bought it and got incredibly mad and laid down some punishment. We called her again and told her it was us. If the guy had deserved it we would have just left him on his own :D

Found a guy in the phonebook named Lawrence Boehner.

Him: Hello

Me: Mr Boehner, my mom wanted me to call and apologize for getting into a fight with your son after school today, I'm sorry.

Him: Which son?

Me: Jimmy

Him: I don't have a son named Jimmy.

Me: Oh, I guess I must have beat the wrong Boehner.

Hysterical laughter ensues.
