We all had a prank call moment when we were younger. Me: Is your refrigerator running? Them: Yes Me: You better catch it! Sometimes they're as silly, and less guilt-laden than calling the police or emergency services , completely unaware of the negative impact that might have.

"And, while many prank callers consider themselves would-be comedians, some are downright abusive. The nature of an emergency call taker’s job already comes with a lot of trauma and stress, and so prank calls really aren’t as funny as the callers might think." Rather stick to calling your sister's aunt's gran, guys. Unless she works for an emergency service, then don't. Weirdly, Smith notes that the prank callers are not always children.
