I just got an obscene phone call

Does this happen a lot these days? I seem to remember it being a big deal back in the 60s, but it's been a long time since I've known anyone who got one.


LOL. I was going to say that. The obscene phone call seems like such a dated concept. Hard to imagine one on a cell phone. Has anyone gotten a chain letter recently?
 
I don't think I have ever had an obscene phone call.

I did however receive a short phonecall from someone who said he was my ex-husband. As I hadn't heard my ex-husband's voice for more than 20 years I don't know if it was him or not. Not sure how he, or whoever it was, got hold of my unlisted number.
 
Has anyone gotten a chain letter recently?

Yes. Three or four months ago, about. It was one of those where you're supposed to include yourself on a list and put in a dollar, then mail it to the next guy, with everyone supposedly raking in thousands as they move up the list. So I guess it was actually a pyramid scheme via chain letter.
 
:lol: Mom read in the newspaper this morning and this lady was calling the social security office to ask a question about her son's disability check. Well, she got something like this: "Hey hot stuff! Are you ready for some fun? Let's go make some music together" something like that..it was another lady on the line saying that to her! I think she dialed the wrong number. :lol:

Yeah, it just seems so... last century.

I would have thought most of these guys would now get their perverted kicks snapping upskirt pics with their cellphones in public places and "revisiting" them later that day. Ah, the onward march of Progress.... :D

I've got a better story!

Years ago, the lines got crossed between us at the National AIDS Hotline and Avis...can you imagine the calls the Avis people got? And we had masturbators who called all the time, like this guy who always asked if you can get AIDS from "eatin' pussy" to every female that worked there.

FYI, the response they gave was, "No sir, you can't get AIDS from a cat." He'd reply "No, a woman's pussy!" And they'd reply "It doesn't matter who owns the cat, Sir."

The day my son was born, my wife gets a call in her room and it was some dude talking about stroking his dick and how hard he got watching her give birth, it got pretty graphic; gave me the phone, I threatened to kill the guy, hung up, called security. They ended up crashing the phone network in the hospital cause the guy was calling all the female patients. Come to find out it was an orderly using a house phone who they caught whacking it in the lower basement.
 
I think texting to adult lines is phasing out 900 numbers.

Heck, I've also noticed less wrong number calls. Anytime that happens anymore, the person on the other end doesn't sound too bright.

What the hell is texting to an adult line? Are people actually on their iPhones reading things like

Oh baby, I wanna wrap my DSL around your BTC. Then I want your WNI pounded into my HWS. Then you can COMT. :confused:
 
I just had an 80's flashback...

It's me again Margaret. Are you naked?

And if any of you get that reference than... I will eat my cellphone. Anyway, I had a Margaret who worked in the same office building as myself (who was also fifty years older than me). I said that every time I called her because she though it was hysterically funny. I guess you could call that an obscene phone call, either from me saying it or her laughing over it for two years.

If anyone needs me, I will be out finding a berserk squirrel for Sunday.
 
Yeah, when I saw commercials for that, my thought was "great, now they don't even have to pay women to send the texts anymore. At least before they had to get a woman with a sexy-sounding voice."

How do you text an adult line? Wouldn't it just consist of abnormally long pauses as your hands are otherwise occupied?

And who gets off on texts, anyway?

See text numbers, and askign to text, in adult phone sex commercials on TV.


Who gets off on that? Well, just ten years ago I would have asked who would have enjoyed sending texts or voicemails, as opposed to speaking directly to somebody, in everybody friendly chatting, but now...
 
Best bit about the whole 976 and 900 numbers: Call forwarding pranks. I knew a student-aide in highschool that call forwarded the school's switchboard to one of those numbers; they're a great wait to get creditors to stop calling.

*clears throat*

"It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read. The lips of that amorous man as he said: 'It's me again, Margaret....Hello? Is this Margaret? I know it's you Margaret. Wanna hear me bark like Rin Tin Tin?'"

DUDE- I'm from freakin' Missisippi. If course I know the words to this classic. :guffaw::guffaw::guffaw:

Plus, that year my uncle married my poor Aunt Margaret. She had to hear that phrase over and over and over. . :lol:
