What is the craziest phone call you ever received or made?
Text messages tend to get a little strange, but they will never trump how insane a phone conversation can get. What is one call made or received you haven't forgotten?
Oh man, this is terrible, but.. Back in the olden days, before call ID and such, when we were teenagers, partying, laughing, hanging, we would get out the phone book and look for couples only names, and depending on who picked up, male or female, either my girlfriend or myself would take the phone, and explain to the same sex person we were having an affair with their mate.
Like we couldnt go on with the secret any longer, and we wanted to be together, blah blah blah. 3/4's of the time, the people were like whatever, drunk retard kids. But that other 1/4 got completely out of control, like insano out of control.
It was absolutely hilarious, at the time. And we would fess up by the end, if it got too insane.
But believe me man, if you caught the jealous type on the phone, it would escalate super quick. I felt bad as we got a little older, like Damn I wonder if those people broke up or physically fought or whatever. Terrible terrible stuff.
Well, you asked, and I'm bored, so there you have it.
That is absolutely golden! I would say you did those people a favor since they clearly didn't trust their partners enough in the first place.

New hubs are appearing about Christmas gift suggestions, and it made me try to remember the worst thing I ever received. I think it was a wildly inappropriate tap dancing outfit when I was about 50. I have never been able to dance, so why my sibling thought that was a good gift is...

I like hearing about other people's experiences when it comes to receiving a gift that they did not like. Mine was turtles. Not only did my husband forget my birthday that year, he gave me a box a week later. When I opened the box it had three turtles inside. I was so angry, I looked at him...
