Some people just need to learn the hard way

Some one I know placed an ad for Christmas tree disposal/recycling and gave the address of a friend he was playing a joke on. People dropped off trees in his friends front yard for weeks.

Makes me glad I never made nor have any friends!

Ha! When I was in college a friend of mine placed a For Sale ad on a bulletin board in the University Center for my 66 Shelby GT350 (only a clone) for $1500. My phone was ringing off the hook for days! And a lot of callers got really upset when I told them it was a joke by a "friend." Many still tried to buy the car and insisted on making offers, but were disappointed when I refused.

By the same token as a revenge prank, my brother had received crappy service or a rude sales clerk at a store years ago. A local radio station was having a contest in which they'd call local business or people who mailed in their phone numbers, and if you knew "the phrase that pays!" you'd win $1,500. So late in the evening my brother calls the store and the targeted sales clerk answers; he says "Hi! This is [DJ name]. Do you know the phrase that pays?" The clerk answered correctly, to which he said "Congratulations! You're today's $1,500 winner!" and gets the clerk's contact info to send out the check as if he had actually won. He then let the clerk have about an hour to tell all his friends and co-workers he won and give him time to spend it in his head, then he called back, again impersonating the radio DJ, got the clerk on phone and told him "there's just one problem with the prize; you're an a$$hole!" and hung up!
