• Why It’s Dangerous To Date Me

  No this is not a serious post.  Just something that made my day.

  “…so funny story.  There’s a website in Germany called marcophono.net – it is the perfect setup for prankcalling.  You can pick a “situation” from the list – including but not limited to : “thank you for the 10,000 euro donation” “you are the winner on an (expensive useless product) on ebay” “your pizza is coming late” “come to jesus” and “I see you just called my office – excuse me can you speak LOUDER? – I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU”.  We chose the good ole “you failed to sort your trash correctly and are in big trouble”.  Of course, that would never work in America, but in Germany they DO have to sort their trash, and CAN get fined for doing it improperly.  So yeah, you pick a situation, punch in a number, then click the phrases to “talk” to the victim.  We could hear everything but he couldn’t hear us laughing so hard we were barely breathing…

  …it’s only logical that my hostbrothers and I just had to call poor, unsuspecting Markus.  We went the trashy route, insisting to be a trash inspector who was heavily dissatisfied.  Things that belonged in the brown bin was in the green, and the green in the blue, and so on.  His failure to properly sort his recycling and/or waste could do detrimental harm to our environment.  We had the poor guy going for 2 full minutes – “yes sir” “yes I understand” “I’m sorry sir” – before he caught wise and hung up…

  …he never guessed it was me…

  …until I called him later to remind him to sort his trash.”
