Ah the age before caller id, *69 or 1471 and 141 over here in the UK. Anybody who was a tennager before that age and says they didn't make crank calls is flat out lying. It was all part of being a teenager. You had a wild crush on someone and didn't have the guts to ask them out or tell them you would call their house to make that dreaded call of them being present before you talk to them.
