RE: This is My Dramatic Contribution to the Trending Page
Cheeseburgers with no cheese are not cheeseburgers. I used to like calling pizza places and ordering an all dressed pizza, but with nothing on it. Half the time they'd catch it and be like"wait, all dressed with nothing on it?" If they didn't catch it, I'd ask them to repeat it back to me. Sometimes there were so on autopilot they did! lol Then I'd be like "Actually, extra nothing. So, all dressed with nothing on it and extra nothing" By then they'd usually catch on that I was making a prank call... I name this comment "What kids did before the internet"
I miss those days when we could anonymously harass anyone in the phone book. One summer a cousin of mine stayed for a few weeks. We'd take turns calling the same guy over and over, asking for Jim. "Is Jim there?" He'd say no, we'd apologize, then call back, same thing. Everyday for about a week. "Jim?" If he wasn't home we'd leave a message for Jim on his answering machine. Called him up one day, he finally snapped and started yelling. He went on for a long time and we recorded the whole thing on this little piece of shit tape recorder I had. We knew he wasn't home in the afternoon so we called him and waited for the machine. Heard the beep and played the recording of him over the phone and left that as a message. Never called him again after that... We laughed though. Just thinking maybe his wife checked the messages or something and he's yelling his head off. Or just the shock of hearing yourself flipping out... I still wonder what happened to that guy... I hope we didn't push him over the edge... LOL
Now that I'm thinking about all the prank calls we used to make, it's no wonder I became a telemarketer for many years. The Jim one is classic lol At one point our group of friends had a "hit list" we printed copies of, it was about 10-12 names from the phone book - I remember Walter Goodleaf who we'd always call and try to buy pot from, Reverend Peter Blunt, who found it interesting that his name was a term for marijuana rolled into a cigar, and M. Bonerandi, but I don't think we ever got a hold of Bonerandi lol Walter still comes up on Google, but aww.. looks Rev Peter Blunt passed away in 2017.. No M. Bonerandi on Google search that I can find lol We'd keep a few quarters in our pockets and if we got bored, "Hit List!" - and bike to the nearest pay phone. Then we found out about *67 and prank calls more or less became our rainy Saturday afternoon thing to do lol
