Is it okay to prank call people when they are asleep at night?

It's morally incorrect, even though it may be a relatively minor offense compared to some of the things we see happen these days.\n\nPlease be considerate and respect people enough not to harass them over the phone.\n\nI suggest listening to Weird Al's song, "Phony Calls."

if you call early in the day, and no answer then try way later like early evening, then its do-able..... but it gets annoying as hell when people blow up your phone....because chances are if im not answering i'm busy, not near my phone, asleep, or not in the mood to talk

I think you can do this anonymously.  In my case, I make a judgment call based on how long the noise lasts.  If it is a brief thing that doesn't disturb me for too long, I let it go.  If it continues for a long time, I would call.\n\nMy motivation would be different from yours.  Their business is their business.  But if their business disturbs me and my family for an extended period, then suddenly it isn't just "their business" any more.

lmao!  well, if i'm at home most of my friends and i are open enough to talk while in the bathroom so that's not an issue.  if i'm in a public restroom, i hit the button on the side of the phone to make it stop ringing and don't answer it until i'm out.

Here's an idea. Make one that will shock people(low voltage) when they ring your bell. ;-)

Call them, E mail them, stop by where they're playing and say Hi, throw pebbles at their window in the middle of the night, tell a friend to tell them to call you, there are many ways you can do this., IF YOU KNOW THEM if not stop being a stalker!

I had the same problem last year. Two really hot Marines moved in next door who thought it was socially acceptable to blair their music at 2 on a Tuesday morning. I've adopted the three strikes rule. I give verbal warning two times, just really politely go to their apartment and say, "Hey guys, I'm trying to sleep, I've got class in the morning, could you please turn it down." On the third time, I let them know that if they can't turn it down, I'm going to have to call the police for a noise violation. If that doesn't work (and it hasn't on at least two occassions), I call the police. \n\nIt seems really mean but you pay good money to live in your apartment and there's no reason why you can't expect to have quiet during normal sleeping hours (which I consider to be between 10-6).

How about calling a cab and not taking the risk of killing somebody?

Nothing wrong with that at all - its good for the tone to be lightened up from time to time.  \n\nIf people believe it, that makes it even funnier too, no harm done.

If your being there disturbs others in the neighborhood, then you can be asked to leave, because your noise, etc, is not confined to the drive in.\n\nIf it's midnight, maybe someone is trying to sleep, doncha know.

i think it can be used for all you have mentioned.\nonly i don't pull pranks on people.  the points don't matter to me. for me it is about making someones smile. giving a solutions to questions. have learned alot from q&a.  i have made many friends through this site. for me it is a good way of relaxing after a hecktic day.

Have friends call.  It's not that scary calling a radio station.  I call mine all the time.

I think it’s totally bogus!!! Surely you would feel them crawling on your face while sleeping And then knock them off I know I would!! . Have some one tickle you lightly and ask what you did, if you’re freaked out about !!!!

Wow, that sounds kinda cool...the only thing close to that that I've heard of is "Privacy Manager."  If someone calls you "unknown" or "unavailable," it asks you to state your name or company, then calls the person.  When the person answers the phone, it tells you who it is, and gives you the option to reject the call, accept it, or play a "no call" recording for businesses. Sorry, wish I could tell you the name of the song!

Depends on the purpose and the person.  \n\nFor a busy, working person with 4 kids, do not call to discuss the weather at 9pm or later. \nFor a college friend or laid-back person, do not call after 10pm.
