A funny story--Playing the Aliases thread in a diff. section

LOL, that is too funny!!! We used to prank call all the time during slow times, just to make the day go by :)

I called a competitor one time and said,

"Yeah, I was in the other day..I was looking at that Queen size you have.."

"Which one?"

"The blue one."

"We have 8 blue ones.."

"It was light blue."

"We have 5 that are light blue"

LOL

HAHAHA!!! What a hlast! It is rare for me to make it through a prank call without laughing, so I always have somebody else do it! :)

We're pretty good at it around here, we get lots of practice...lol

Ha!! I guess that's something I need to work on then...what's your phone number again? :lol: :wink:

The worst though is when you get a weird call and you don't know if it's a prank or not..lol I've had customers call here and thought it was a joke, and it wasn't..lol Luckily my "Playing along" worked out..lol

LOL, that's what you have to watch out for!! Some customers out there are weirdos, but asking questions that they think are legitimate!

OMG this reminds me of one of my most embarrassing moments! one I will never forget! we had been in Hawaii for three years and rented our house out while we were gone. When we got back, we had to do some painting and such. Of course my girlfriend found out I was back in town and she was ringing my phone off the hook. Every time I would get up on the ladder, she would call and my kids would call me to the phone. she was really starting to annoy me because she was calling SO MUCH. Finally when I had just about enough---trying to get this paint job done before our furniture showed up the next day---I told my kids that if she called again, to tell her that I would call her back later, that I was busy. sure enough, a few minutes later the phone rang. I was like %#@*&!!! My son answered, he told her I was busy---I could hear him from the other room, a few minutes later, he said but mom, its Julia Roberts. Okay now you got to know that me and my friend goofed off all the time!!! we were never serious and it was always one big joke and one big laugh. I said this is enough! hand me the phone!!! (me thinking she'll say anything to get me to the phone and this is just another joke) Before she could even say anything, I said 'hello---yeah, I got your julia Roberts, why don't you go and &^%$#@& Richard Gere and leave me alone!!!' Then there was silence and the voice on the other end identified herself as my husbands friends(local DJ on the radio) wife, julia roberts, in her English accent. and um---she wasn't laughing. :oops: :oops: :oops: My son couldn't believe i said that. when he said it was julia roberts, he assumed that I knew it was her and he had no idea I was going to go this other way with it. :oops: :oops: :oops:

LOL How could you have known? It's her fault for being named Julia Roberts...lol

OMG!!!! hahahahaa...that sucks, but it isn't your fault!!! LOL

LOL...you are off the hook then! ;)
