Guilty, we use to get out the olde yellow pages and people with weird or suggestive last names. Lots of laughs. No harm no foul. It means we could @ least read, ha!
I used to get a drunk guy calling from a bar for someone named Steve. He would often call rather late, but I was up late back then. After a few times of hearing, “Is this Steve?” (I am female) I said, “I am Steve.” He said, “No you aren’t.” Eventually, after months of this almost every single night, I taught him how to set up auto-dial. It seemed to work; I haven’t heard from him in years. It wasn’t deliberate prank calling, but it had the sense of it.

That’s why you’d hang up immediately.

Kids can’t prank like this anymore. Glad I lived through the generation who could. Harmless fun. (I think).

“Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line, to talk ’bout things to come. Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground…”

We used to call repeatedly, and ask for Joe
A few minutes later we called and say, hello, this is Joe, have there been any calls for me?
