well i have a funny story about phones
my friend left his cell here and he pretty much is in love with his phone
he called to ask us to drop it off and we said look sorry but a truck ran it over when it fell out of my pocket (obviously he didnt believe us)
we continued with our lie and he jsut said w/e
but when we delivered a ziploc bag with a smashed up cell phone he almsot cried (i took my dads old broken phone and went to work on it with a hammer)
he was freaking out until i handed him his own phone
Here's one:
My friends and I had some dummy phones on us.. you know the display models they use that look exactly like the real deal, except you obviously can't make phonecalls on them.
Anyway we were just walking around in public severely mistreating these 'phones', pretending to be talking to someone, then yelling to a friend walking 10 metres up ahead "Hey, he wants to talk to you", and throwing the phone in a manner that makes it blatantly impossible to catch... so the phone hits the pavement and bounces a few times, while shocked onlookers can't believe that they're watching the latest and greatest technology being thrown around like garbage.
We'd also do things like 'accidentally' misjudge the distance and throw the phones into the fountain that the catcher was conveniently standing behind
Then came the finale: we were walking along a fairly long footbridge across a body of water, messing with people's heads as usual, when I got an idea. I waited until the couple about 20 metres ahead were fairly close to me, then started yelling into the 'phone' and acting all angry. Just as I was about to pass the young couple, I yelled "Well screw you too", and tossed the phone over the bridge and into the water.
If only I'd taken a photo of their expressions when I did that :LOL: At least it gave them a story to tell their friends for years to come
