As everyone on the planet probably has figured out by now, it's April Fool's day. And like most people, I've pulled a couple of pranks in my time. Like the time when I was in middle school and thought it would be really funny to call my mom while she was at work and yell, "The house is on fire!"...and then, hang up. Yeahhh, bad idea--I was grounded for
ever.
Anyway, I accidentally pulled another phone prank a few days ago.
Last Saturday was Earth Hour. We decided to participate and shut the lights off in our house. It was just me, my daughter, and my manpanion. We used a flashlight and played truth or dare--mostly sticking to truth. haha. But my daughter did accept a dare, eventually.
So, we decided it would be funny to prank my sis, who was on a date. I picked up the home phone, dialed the number, thrust the phone into my daughter's hands, and when it picked up, my daughter said, "This is match.com. We wanted to see how you were enjoying your match." Then, after a moment's pause, she hung up.
We laughed hard about it--my sister must have cracked up, especially since she knew it came from us (caller ID makes it hard to prank call people now, LOL)! Except, we didn't get a call back. So we called the # again, and it went directly to voice mail. My daughter left a message, explaining we were playing truth or dare and that I'd dared her to prank call her own aunt. She hung up, and we waited several minutes.
Still, no response. So I grab my cell and send my sis a text, apologizing if I'd made her mad because of pranking her while on her date. She replied back, "hah, what prank?"
A sick feeling hit my stomach. I looked at the number I'd dialed--I'd misdialed the last number of my sis's cell #. We hadn't been pranking my sis at all, but some poor random woman!
I'm a 32-year-old woman who hadn't done a prank call in God knows how long, and I'd messed it up. haha. So, to the mysterious woman we called--I'm sorry. And thanks for not calling the cops. LOL
So, what's the last phone prank you've pulled? Dish it!
