It just makes you look stupid when people can work out exactly who are within a matter of seconds! Not just wasting their own time, but also the time of the companies who should really be spending their time dealing with the operation of their business and complaints/praises from actual customers.
One of my favourite things to do in the past was to prank people, I once worked for a telesales company when I was 17, I only lasted a few days as I was a shite salesman and ended up getting sacked with 2 weeks extra pay for there trouble, I was supposed to go through phone books and me and my mate ended up looking for funny names and ended up pranking people because I was so bad at selling double glazing my favourite being phoning a Mr A Squirrel...It was not spelt that way, but however it was spelt, that was how it was pronounced, so after I asked him if he was A Squirrel, I proceeded to ask him...That's good, I need to know one thing...Where's your nuts hidden ...
I never did anything to intentionally get people into trouble, although I ended up in trouble myself, another favourite of mine when I was at college was taking the Daily Spurt in and phoning up massage parlors/brothels and escorts services and as I was doing performing arts, a few of us even turned it into a sketch with characters, I played a pure filthbag and an ugly little virgin(I was an ugly lump, though not little nor a virgin), we had a old widower, a gay lad and a kinky lesbian, those were the days...
I'll leave it at that I have gone off topic enough lol
