Messing with people

I know I just started another thread a second ago but this just popped into my head from a few years ago and it got me curious. Please don't ban me. They're both serious threads although I don't see why there was a problem with lighthearted threads previously. Can't people just choose not to post in them if they find it boring or whatever? Anyway forget I said that, I'm not trying to tell you guys how to do your jobs :P

A few years ago, a certain footballer was in the paper quite a lot and I hate this guy. So do most of my friends. Anyway, we were able to track his personal phone number down and would regularly ring him and take the piss out of him in some many ways. I think he deserved it though. I also used to really dislike Tubs and I had to meet him two years ago and pretended I had no idea who he was just to sort his ego out. I regret that though because he's actually very nice, just comes across bad on the late late show with weak interviews.

Anyway, basically people are always taking the piss with famous people for fun. Like that Talifornia lad who posed for the picture with your man calling him a prick. The lad was right there with that one!!
Anyway, which way have boardsies taken the piss out of well known people?
I'd sa GAA players get it sooooo badly down the country!

The above could be a criminal offence,

"Harassment.

10.—(1) Any person who, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, by any means including by use of the telephone, harasses another by persistently following, watching, pestering, besetting or communicating with him or her, shall be guilty of an offence."

Tracking someone's personal phone number down and harrassing them on it for the craic?

Sounds like great "craic" alright. :rolleyes:

Harassing someone is not nice fun or craic

I don't think that if someone shouts a joke at Enda on the way out of Croke Park we can call that person an asshole. Otherwise life would be very mundane. Boardsies are wrong in this one if they think this type of stuff is not right. And a group of young lads making a few prank phone calls is harmless.

If it's that harmless, why did you say "he deserved it"?
It was wrong and you know it

I did this exact thing a few months ago in Dun Laoghaire.

When I was younger, me and my mates used to prank call a guy in the phonebook whose name was listed as H.Hogan.

When he answered I would just do an impression of Hulk Hogan the wrestler and say his lines. "Watchu gon do brother, when Hulkamania runs wild on you!!!!!"

Dunno if he ever got it though...

So if a stranger insulted your Dad while he was out and about minding his own business you wouldn't care?

Or if people started making prank calls to your Mam or Grandmother, you would take it as just a bit of craic?

Christ folks, it's After Hours - not Humanities - thread is clearly supposed to be lighthearted.
