  • If you mess with the delivery guy, you get a pizza the revenge. I just had to repeat that because come on! That's good. Get it? A pizza revenge?? A PIECE of revenge?? Pizza revenge. Get it??? It's funny ok. And you know what else is? This Reddit thread we stumbled upon that started with a story of petty revenge but ended up being a perfect list of ways to prank people if you have their phone number. 

    This pizza delivery guy got shorted $7, the customer apologized and said he would go back to his home and give him the extra dough. But guess what? The customer lied, and the delivery guy never saw him again. However, this guy left his phone number with him, as one does when they order a pizza. So then the pizza delivery guy saved this customer's number and every now and then calls him up asking him for various reason why he needs $7. The internet thought that was pretty funny, but could one up that prank with more! Check them out below.

    I saved his number in my phone and usually when me and my buddies are out I'll give him a call (he won't answer) and I'll leave him a message asking him if he's got the money yet.

    Some guy shorted me at work (pizza delivery) so I saved his number in my phone and will prank call him from time to time Once delivered pizza to this guy and we met at a gas station (he was outside of the delivery zone) when I got back to my car and counted the money, he was short $7.

    I called him and he told me that he misunderstood the price over the phone and he'd run to his house and return with the money and a nice tip. He said it would take 5 minutes. 15 minutes goes by and I call him again, no answer. I go back to the shop and call him once from my phone and once from the shop phone, no answer. I left him a VM and told him he was $7 short and would need to call in with a credit card if he couldn't find his wallet.

    Since I was pretty I off that dude lied, I saved his number in my phone and usually when me and my buddies are drinking I'll give him a call (he won't answer) and I'll leave him a message asking him if he's got the money yet. I've done this like 3-4 times now. Last time I called and left a VM and said that my definitely disabled little sister fell down the stairs and we need some money ($7) to cover her expenses. I think it's funny. k em.

    6ft6squatch • 3d ago . Put his name in an ad and say they are looking for free tires, free bike, anything that's hard to get rid of. Concrete. Dirt. Grass. Old lumber. Anything you would haul to the dump. ↑ 51 51 Reply

Must be good looking.". This was back in 1990s. His phone was ringing off the hook for a few weeks with guys asking if they could meet up. It was hilarious!! He was out. once he figured it 24 Reply

    semessias • 3d ago I once read about a guy who posted his ex's phone number offering a prize to the best Chewbacca roar. Until this day I laugh thinking about how much time it took for her to catch up on why she was getting these weird calls of strangers screaming

    Junior-Gorg • 3d ago Can you imagine if somebody were to call all sorts of service companies (lawn services, pool, maintenance, roof, repair, concrete, pouring concrete, drywall, etc), and set up appointments for services? Man, that would cause that guy a lot of headaches. 15 Reply

    Cereal_poster · 2d ago Would be quite a shame if his phone number ended up written on the walls of bathroom stalls in the area offering a "good time” for $7 wouldn't it? ↑ 4 3 Reply

    Top-Emu-2292 • 3d ago Works for me. I had similar problems from idiots who failing to be ready at home or not at the pick up point on time, missing their taxi, would repeatedly ring the office all night long and abuse the staff. Heads up idiots, your number is displayed on our screen and we are a 24hr business. It won't be tonight or even tomorrow but you could get a call at any any time of night or day.

    Drunk on a night out and abusing staff but within 30 minutes of arriving home they will fall asleep. An hour or so later a withheld number call to their mobile from a person of the opposite gender answered by the partner. Or perhaps call/text randomly with suggestive messages. Suddenly those early hours quiet shifts aren't so boring ↑ 3 ♡ Reply

    tadddpole 3d ago • Send that number around. He'll block you. Have your friends call. This isn't a thing much anymore, but 15ish years ago, someone stole some stuff from our apartment at a party but dropped his phone as we chased him. We called his mom at 1am to let her know her son and then texted every "text 666555 now to donate" number we could find.
