The prank phone call is a staple of our youth. Almost everyone of a certain age can remember the first time their parents left them alone in the house with a working telephone and nothing but time to kill. They would pick up the phone, call a friend or acquaintance and proceed to tell them that they had won a million dollars as part of a sweepstakes promotion. Or maybe pretend to be a school official, and convince a friend that school was to be canceled tomorrow because of a snow day.
But now we’ve grown up and left behind many childish things. But there’s still room in our lives for a little harmless prank call fun.
Here are a few tips to enjoy some classic prank call fun without any dangerous or hurtful repercussions.
- Don’t be threatening. It is OK to have a little fun with a crank call. But acting in a threatening or violent manner is NEVER acceptable. You can emotionally damage the individual on the other end, and potentially find yourself in trouble with the law. Be funny, but be respectful.
- Don’t call late at night. Waking someone up in the middle of the night in order to execute a prank call is just cruel. Keep your prank calls limited to daylight or early evening hours
- Don’t prank call someone at work. For reasons that should be obvious, never prank call someone while they are on the job. It can cost them their job if their employer frowns upon such behavior.
