what do you guys think about prank calls, like when girls you know attempt to prank call you, and is it cool to prank call girls u know, me and my friend always prank call girls we know (he prank calls girls i know, i prank call girls he knows) just to have fun.

sometimes they say they know its us, then if they say something we just deny it.
