Has anyone here ever been bored beyond belief on some nights and decided to prank a convience store or one of those paid programs on tv?
I've actually done both...on the same night ... basically quite simple .. called 7/11 ..said my name was Mike..and that I was quitting my job. The person said manager wasn't in..so I asked them to leave a messege..I told them that I was calling from jail..and was using my only phone call to let them know I wouldn't be in tomorrow..or for the next 10 to 25 years depending on parole. The guy writing the note was holding back laughter..obviously thinking I was in jail and not wanting to upset me ..but you could hear him giggling and pretending to cough as to not get caught laughing.
The paid program thing was kinda funny too..I called the 1 with Michael Lesko (sp?) the guy that wears the suit with question marks all over it..claiming to be able to show you how the government will help give you cash to finace stuff like writing a book, opening a coffee shop or whatever. Anyways..I call and ask the women to give me a brief description of the program..she goes on and on and on ..about 5 minutes worth of crap..litterally she had to read his whole paid program info..so I just pretended I fell asleep..faking snoring..she said 'sir..sir''sir?' ..finally I acted like I just woke up..and said..'Im sorry...I just fell asleep..could you read that over for me'. She promptly said no and hung up.
It's amazing what some will do to waste time! Wondering if anyone else has tried this out at some point or time.
