This reminds me of some malicious prank calling story we had to watch about in TOK class. Two store owners were tricked into forcing their recently employed young female cashier into stripping naked and doing humiliating things, later even getting abused. All because the store owners blindly followed the instructions of some random guy on the phone.

People need to be more aware of tricks and question authority a bit more. You never really know if a cop is telling you what to do until you have evidence that it's really the police. Something similar to this has been covered on ABC's "What would you do?"


Yeah so next time the fire alarm goes off let's all not submit to authority and go outside, let's all just ask one by one if it's real or not.

People just accept that people don't pull this sort of childish crap so life gets on easier. You can't ask every official you meet on a daily basis to show some ID.


Rather then grind society to a halt by forcing every cop to identify himself 1000 times a day, let's just toss the people that cry wolf for fun into jail for a year.



Or you could use common sense and accept that a cop wouldn't order you to sexually abuse a coworker, and your boss wouldn't make you stand outside your place of business completely naked. I really wonder how many people these guys have to call before they get a bite, it seems like they have a pretty high success rate.


But the simple fact is that they don't ask you to do that.

If your friend calls you and tells you "omg i think im gonna kill myself" and then hangs up, what do you do? You rush over (i would hope). As you get to his house you find the door locked so you kick it in knowing there might be no time to spare. There he is standing in the living room laughing at you, haha he sure got you.

They simply create a scenario where:

1) If i don't trust them i could end up dead, in prison or otherwise harmed
2) If i do trust them i might look silly


If i prank call 911 and tell them i got stabbed, am i being clever when i get them to send the cops or can they simply not take the risk of not believing me?

That's how these pathetic jokes work. You call them and create a scenario where not believing them could have possible fatal outcomes.


But the average TLer vastly overates his own intelligence so it's no surpise everyone here seems to think they are immune to this stuff. Just like how everyone would react like a bhuddist monk if fire broke out in a building they were in.


But um, this isn't some friend calling about suicide, it is your boss telling you to strip naked outdoors. I am fairly certain it's not overrating one's intelligence to say "My boss would never ask me to do that, in fact how would my boss at corporate even know how dangerous chemicals work?". If someone calls my hotel room claiming to be from the front desk and tells me I need to throw my TV out the window or shout "GO AWAY RAPIST" I am going to laugh, hang up, and go back to my life. The examples you gave are not even close to what these guys are doing.

These guys are sociopaths and so are you OP. Although if you're very young it might just be a stage in your development.

Anyway, these people get caught eventually. Maybe not for the prank calls themselves, but when you have no empathy or any intuitive sense of what's socially aceptable and what isn't you're bound to slip up sometime.

Lol.
If you actually fall for this, you're an idiot. And there's nothing wrong with messing with stupid people. If you think otherwise, you're probably an idiot too.
So yea, guys. Keep doing everything a random stranger tells you to and then cry when you get exposed for being a retard.

Well one of them is stamped as a sociopath, and the other is convicted for raping a 5 year old.

Honestly anyone finding this funny has a deep mental issue.

How is that even related to what they do? Lol, stay mad. I especially love how you people throw diagnoses around when you can't cope with what you see.

From reading the thread, people's justification for these type of pranks is, "You're dumb and only yourself to blame to fall for this".

Now putting aside micronesia's point of view, somehow abusing and exploiting "dumb" people is okay? Think slowly, think again.

I don't care if a person is 40 years old and make millions. Their stance on stuff like this tells a lot more of the person's maturity and integrity, rather than whats printed on their resume.

Based on your blanket statement, apparently the majority of us posting in this thread are probably idiots too. Oh, the irony.

Would I ever do that to someone? No. Should other people do this? No. Should it have been done in the first place? No.

But it did happen, and it was hilarious.

I can understand how some people may not find this funny, but it is absolutely absurd to say that anyone who can find humor in it somehow has mental issues.

I kinda miss Idra...

It's got everything to do with what they do? That's typical behaviour. They lack all compassion. And obviously so do you if you find it funny to see peoples lives ruined. Bet you laughed your ass off at 9/11.
There was a newspaper article linker earlier in the thread about the two of them.

Personally, I find malicious calling to have been funny 8 years ago. Now its rather infantile and pretty much idiotic. Nobody can take a prank caller seriously anymore, at least I hope.

Edit: on second thought, and with an artificially boosted humor, some of those do prove to be quite humorous

although I despise this now, there was probably a time in my life where I would have found it funny (when I was maybe 17-18)

Well that was unpleasant to listen to and not very funny at all. They should get jail time or something for that...or at least a fine.

I don't enjoy pranks that gets the victim into trouble while the prankster and his audience are laughing like this is some good humor they've created. OP, you thought most people like this kind of humor? You're wrong.

For the hotel ones it's nobodies fault except the receptionist.

I don't know any hotel receptionists that would actually allow this to happen.

You can't just call a random hotel and ask for a room number.

You need a last name and room number to prevent exactly what happened in these videos.

Regardless these are fucking hilarious.

"There is no poison in it right? haha"
"No, it's our secret recipe."

"OH MY GOD THAT'S AWFUL."

Almost pissed myself.
