Don’t Prank Calls Have To Be Funny?

The phone rings, showing me a mobile number, and I answer it. Unfortunately, I can hardly understand anything due to bad reception, and the call drops almost immediately.

A few minutes later they call again.

Me: “[Our Store], this is [My Name], good evening.”

There’s still a lot of interference, and I can’t make out more than a few incoherent words.

Me: “I’m sorry, you’re very hard to understand.”

I walk toward our office, where the reception is usually better.

Me: “How can I help you?”

The caller laughs tauntingly and blows me a raspberry.

Me: “You know that I’m being shown your phone number on my display, right?”

The caller is a young-sounding person, suddenly very sheepish.

Caller: “Oh, I’m very sorry. I’m going to hang up now.”

Me: “That’s what I thought. Have a nice evening.”
