I just had someone call and ask to speak with Christ. I told them they had the wrong number.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

Haha...I would have just gone "Yep, that's me...what's up?".


drizabone d  said about 5 years ago:

Don't they know he lives in Southpark, Colorado these days!


Shananana  said about 5 years ago:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Im with trips, or at least taken a message! gold!


holyrattlesnakes  said about 5 years ago:

I once got one from an unrecognised number. okie dokie, happens, not usually at 9:30pm, but whatever. so ...:

husky female voice 'Hi!'

hrs: 'Hey. hrs speaking, who is this?'

'where are you?'

'at home'

'why are you there?'

'where am I meant to be?'

'where we arranged to meet honey'

'honey? arranged? erm ...'

'I'm where we arranged to meet and I've got nothing on but a raincoat ...'

'I see. can I ask who's speaking?'

'honey don't play games'

'no, I think you've got the wrong number'

'Dave sweetie, don't be silly ...'

'erm, this is not Dave. Dave's not here man. not Dave. HRS. you've got the wrong number'

silence

hrs: 'so where did you say you were again? it's not like I'm up to much, and since Dave's gotten lost or found some wildlife on the way ...'


freaksandgeeks  said about 5 years ago:

hahahaha

my housemate got one once asking her what she was wearing at 7am. She's like "err my pyjamas. Who is this?' so funny


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

That doesnt happen in real life, does it?!

jesus.

sounds like single white female or the letters section of playboy.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

i called filterfeed at work and asked her what she was wearing

i forget what it was, but it wasn't exciting at all


holyrattlesnakes  said about 5 years ago:

sorry, true story. except the wildlife bit, I think that's a bit of embellishment. the poor girl ended up being profoundly embarrassed as you could imagine, so I tried to convince her I'd taken it as a joke and got the hell off there. because, well, I was pretty embarrassed too to tell the truth.


Ambo  said about 5 years ago:

i have been getting calls for the last 3 days, that consist of a 5 second musical loop. then silence. i fiured it was someone i know taking the piss, but most of my mates are too lazy to be that persistent. any ideas?


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

what kind of a story is that, horse??


bobby_pyn  said about 5 years ago:

here's an sms i got a while ago......." Hey my sweet beautiful sex goddess, wot u up2 gorgeous?? wanna catch up l8r 4 a hotnsweaty, slownsensual, teasinnpleasin, naked romp in nice hot bubbly spa??"


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

a disappointing one ?


holyrattlesnakes  said about 5 years ago:

I was pretty sure at the time it was a mate trying to mess with me. but her reaction once the ordeal was over suggested otherwise.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

here's an sms i got a while ago......." Hey my sweet beautiful sex goddess, wot u up2 gorgeous?? wanna catch up l8r 4 a hotnsweaty, slownsensual, teasinnpleasin, naked romp in nice hot bubbly spa??"

i don't understand that ... why would you be typing in the number to send an sms like that ... surely the person involved is in your address book ?


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

have you seen White Noise, ambo?
or the Mothman prophecies?

If not, DON'T EVER SEE THOSE MOVIES.
THEY SUCK.


BurtBacharach  said about 5 years ago:

bobby pyn, your photo makes you looka bit like Lloyd Cole in about '85. very cool.


Ambo  said about 5 years ago:

no, but thanks for the heads up.


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

i once got a phone call from a very pissed campy guy who said "oh hello! what are you doing at my house?" when i explained to him that he had rung my house, we then had a half an hour chat


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

HAHA.. yuck. that's a gross sms.


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

and yep, horse.

very disappointing.


bobby_pyn  said about 5 years ago:

i don't know the number at all. definately not in my address book.


bastardaus  said about 5 years ago:

See Hamish and Andy - Phone Sex Prank on iTunes' podcast directory.


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

Ummmm.... You were born on Christmas day right?

Me thinks it was a gag.


freaksandgeeks  said about 5 years ago:

i thought the mothman prophecies was SCARY! But hey, maybe I just want to believe...


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

One of the Bowdens?


Scientificsupercake  said about 5 years ago:

hahah..

hey freaksy, wake up number 37

hahah
i like laura linney, but i cant take richard gere seriously.


karencarpenter  said about 5 years ago:

nah, it sounded like an international marketing caller, so i think it was legit... i had to double check 'You want Christ?'

yes

'sorry, you've got the wrong number'

Hardly anyone knows my new home ph number, so i can pretty safely count gags out.


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

But..... your the Christ Child!

hehe... I want one now.


Ruby  said about 5 years ago:

Once I was speaking to a friend on the phone and upon hanging up the phone rang again - assuming it was him ringing back I picked up the phone and said
"What now? I was just about to have a slash!"
"Hello? is that .....? I am calling regarding the job application you put in"
Needless to say, I didn't get the job


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

8:10am this morning....

*ring*

"Hello?"

(female voice): "I want you to fuck me up the arse!"

& then *hangs up*.

Quite odd. Particularly for that time of the morning, a little early for your average prank caller I would have thought.


ponyride  said about 5 years ago:

When I worked at a dentist someone called up and asked if they could make an appt to have all their teeth extracted and mounted onto a block of parmesan cheese.

Another one wanted to have his teeth shaved down like a porpoise.


september  said about 5 years ago:

i got one this morning from a withheld number.

me: hello

withheld number person: hello, is this september.

me: ahhhhh....yes.

withheld number person: hehehehe. what's going on?

me: ahhhhh...i'm just doing my work.

withheld number person: hehehehe.

then he hung up.

Kenny Burger  said about 5 years ago:

I got a strange one earlier this year too.

they said they were going to bash my head in. i know who was responsible for it too, but they never said sorry.

:(


wipey  said about 5 years ago:

Want me to bash them, Harold?


Alright  said about 5 years ago:

yeah get wipey. he is tough


wipey  said about 5 years ago:

FUCKEN SHUTUP ALRIGHT!


Alright  said about 5 years ago:

woh. you aint gonna like my new thread


gobetween  said about 5 years ago:

My ex got sent a message from a Nick or something telling him what a wild night they had together in Melbourne. Neither of us or anyone we know personally is called Nick. Bizareo.


gobetween  said about 5 years ago:

Nor has any of us had sex in Melbourne, or in the state of Victoria ever.


empra  said about 5 years ago:

you should try it some time. gives a whole new meaning to the word m-town.


Alright  said about 5 years ago:

maybe HE had sex in melbourne


gobetween  said about 5 years ago:

He so did not, especially not with a guy named Nick. He rang me up asking me if I'd given his number out to anyone, he was amused and disturbed and Nick wasn't too impressed either. I did call someone (a girlfriend) from his phone once and I kind of think I know who it was.


gobetween  said about 5 years ago:

...that gave his number out. It was obviously a practical joke being played on this guy.


TheRussianBrides  said about 5 years ago:

Me: Hello?

Him: Oi, I got your number from my girl's phone. You go near her again I'm gunna get ya. I know where you live.

Me: (Not convinced, but slightly cautious) Who's your girl?

H: You know fuckwit! I'll get ya!

Goes around in circles a bit, in the end he hung up. Either it was a poorly thought out prank, or he fucked up. More interesting to hear than to write.


katiepotatie  said about 5 years ago:

not so much strange as annoying, but ive got about 20 calls from a blocked number in the last two weeks, and they dont leave messages, but they keep calling!

dont these people understand the notion of SCREENING????


rosie  said about 5 years ago:

ha, yeah i don't answer numbers i don't recognise either.


grouse frehley  said about 5 years ago:

I made a strange phone call:

'Hello, Bruce speaking'

Me (nervous laughter): Hi Luke

Bruce: Um..

Me: How's it going?

Bruce: Um.... OK...

Me: Look I'm acutally ringing with some pretty sad news.

Bruce: OK..

Me: So you probably want to stop with that camp voice. You'll just feel pretty stupid otherwise.

Bruce (still with camp voice): Oh

Me: Anyway I just wanted to tell you that Paul's dad died today. You might want to give him a call later.

Bruce (nervously): Oh

Me: Look. I'd better go now, just wanted to let people know. We should try to catch up with Paul in the next couple of days.

Bruce (persisting with camp voice): OK (cautiously) Thank you for calling.

I felt a little weird about this exchange, so checked the number I dialled.
It wasn't Luke's.


redlips  said about 4 years ago:

I just got a phone call from mum... in a week today (their 30th wedding anniversary) she and dad head of to India for a holiday. Tonight, however, she's at home watching Australian story...

Mum: Hey, you watching Australian Story or whatever it is?

Me: No, I'm downstairs, haven't turned the TV on yet.

Mum: ok, I have a quick conversation I need to have with you then...

Me: shoot.

[beat]

Mum: if anything ghastly should happen to us, a dead body is like a shoe box with no shoes in it... useless.

[beat]

Me: ummm...

[beat]

... what are you saying.

Mum: well, there's no need to spend thousands of dollars bringing it back, that's my thought on the matter and your father will follow my lead.

[he always does]

[beat]

Me: ok then mum.

Mum: and like all things, now that you have that information you won't need to use it.

Me: ok then mum.

Mum: see ya!


mrslooch  said about 4 years ago:

ha, my parents always make sure I know where their will is before they head off overseas for a trip

horrible conversation, but at least you know what they do or don't want, redlips


redlips  said about 4 years ago:

true true... but yeah, not a fun conversation. I rang her back straight away to talk about the various fine fabrics of Jaipur...


rawr  said about 4 years ago:

not so much strange as annoying, but ive got about 20 calls from a blocked number in the last >two weeks, and they dont leave messages, but they keep calling!

Same here. Fucking annoying. Now I'm getting blank SMSes from strange numbers.


sister  said about 4 years ago:

me too. just to my work number.


Zac  said about 10 months ago:

Just had a call from a man in Brisbane who wanted to let the Channel 7 newsroom in on his thoughts:

''Tell bloody Tony Blair to rack off. We got enough pommy bastards in this country. Certainly don't need that dong head mucking things up 'ere.''
