Would it be ok if I bother you a couple of times a night? Even if you don't say bad words Do you know how mad I would be If someone kept calling me and waking up our one year olds during naps. We recently had someone knocking on our windows just for fun. Well Our four year old is tring to go to sleep and we had a hard time getting her to go. Now deal with her scared out of her little mind thinking someone will get her.

What is fun to some people may harm others.

No prank calls aren't okay. They are good for a laugh if you need one but if your the one being prank called it is no fun at all. If you don't do bad things at all it still isn't good to call someone up and prank call them for no reason. If you just want to have a good laugh there is other things you can do besides prank call people. I don't do prank calls because I just don't find fun at all and it just wouldn't be the right thing to do. People are busy enough with working and other things so they don't need to be bother by some people who just prank call people for no good reason. Jokes are always good for a laugh or a funny movie if you need a good laugh but prank calls are good for a good laugh then it is done then the good laugh is done so you can get more good laughs by watching a funny movie or saying funny jokes to each other. Anyways I hope that helped. I don't like prank calls and I like funny movies and funny jokes more so try out funny movies and funny jokes for a good laugh with your friends.

I think they're perfectly fine. I've been prank called before, I just shrug it off. I think it's funny. One time I tried calling Pizza Hut and almost got them to deliver to some ones house. It's all innocent and fun guys, don't be so harsh on this kid. It's fun!

I'm not trying to be harsh I'm just saying look at it from the other persons point of view. My duaasght is still scared someone will get her and we still hae trouble getting her to sleep. If you grandparents were in bed and someone called they have a hard time getting to the phone because they are old and can't get around very good they get theier then someone hangs up and they would repeat this wouldn't it get you mad? Pluse who was going to pay for the pizza if delivered. You waseting money after all if cost money to make the pizza and pay the driver to go their. We all have to pay in the end because now the store has to mark up the product they are selling to cover loses.

Let me add to this we call businesses not housdeholds...and I really don't think you can compare a call to actualy tapping on a window...But ya'll do have some understandable points...Thankyou for your view points.....Go Kyle!
And yes funny movies are good and jokes they're great!!!! Ofcourse actually ordering the pizza is wrong....

Answered by: Court on December 5, 2007 12:49PM EST

May I also add I respect ya'lls perspectives and appreciate the time you have each taken to explain the the seriosness in the matter....But I would have to say to be honest I wouldn't be mad if I was pranked called unless it was rude, crude and unappropiate....And may I send my apologizies that your daugther is frightened I would be to....Thank You.

I personnally find that if we did actually order the pizza, it woulda been funny, cuz they didn't order it or anything, and maybe they could've gotten a free pizza because they pizza was going to get cold and the pizza guy didn't want to waste it, so there was a bright side. They wouldn't have made the people pay for it if they didn't order it anyways. If they waste a little pizza, so what? Just arguing my point here, like I do with all my friends, sorry. :P Whatever, peace.

Answered by: Court on December 10, 2007 12:27PM EST

Now that you mention it looking at the bright side does add a little cheer to this whole dipsute....Your pretty good at proving your point....ofcousrse this could go one forever when you think about it...Don't be sorry its all cool!

Kyle, ordering a pizza that is not meant to be bought is NOT funny. It causes the business to lose money and wastes people's time--those who made it, the delivery person, the person who has to answer the door.

My last name is Harshbarger. We once got a call where someone said, "I'd like to order 5 Harshbargers, 3 fries, and 4 Cokes." We had a good laugh on that one. So a prank call could possibly be funny, but in general, I wouldn't recommend it--others above have given very good reasons against it.

Haha that's a good one Harshbargers......Ya wasting time and money isn't cool....
