To think sister's boyfriend isn't that funny?

[ChocolateTemptation]

So for the past few months her boyfriend has been ringing me up and shouting random shit down the phone. A few examples are

me - "hello?"
him - "CHASING PIGEONS - I SAY CHASING PIGEONS"

and the phone goes down.

me - "hello?"
him - "Lets all buy a house"
me - "sorry??"
him - "its my fucking house and you'll never take it away from me"

phone goes down with lots of laughter in the background.

me - "hello?"
him - "I just had a massive poo and now my bum is hurting"

phone goes down and I can hear sister howling with laughter in the background.

These examples are just the ones I've had this week! like I say it's been going on months. Sister thinks he's hilarious. My mum says not to say anything to sister as she'll "get upset"

AIBU to think he's obviously a bit of a twat and should be told?

^^ good luck deciphering that

Never mind "not upsetting your sister", I would think one of the most important things here might be to have a little chat with her about whether she is happy with him, and whether he is really the right person for her in the long term.
He does sound a bit of a twat, even if he's only 19.
I wish I'd talked with my sister more about her boyfriend before she married him and had two kids together - later got divorced.
Phone calls sound maddening though - and you much too patient !

Caller id and one of those really loud horns. He will never do it again.

Caller ID.

Or when you pick up the phone and he starts, just talk over him - sigh loudly and say "You really are the most boring little twat, you know" and put the phone down.

Or put the phone down the second you realise it's him. Don't wait for him to finish what he's saying. He shouldn't be the one to put the phone down! YOU should.

Or say that you consider them nusiance calls and will be reporting him to BT.

Or grab the little scrote by the scruff of the neck and say that if he carries on, you will be shoving his phone up his arse.

Or say to your sister that you can only assume that these constant calls mean that he fancies you, and you're flattered but not sure you're interested, but you'll think about it.

I bet if you do that, she'll never let him call you again [winkl]

Kitty good point I bet those wouldn't be the words I personally would use in that situation. Sorry OP

at willy, willy,willy and TWAT.

Well - I own an 18 year old, a 16 year old and a 14 year old, and I would be dumbstruck if any of them were repeatedly doing something that immature and stupid. They might do it once, for a laugh, but over and over again? No.

Plus, if I caught them doing it even once, I would bollock them good and proper (and I am The Scary Parent, so they don't usually want to risk one of my bollockings).

If I were the OP, I would call my sister and tell her to stop her boyfriend's stupid behaviour, otherwise I'd be reporting him to the police for malicious phone calls. Caller ID/call blocking is an option, but why should the OP go to extra expense because of this idiot?

I've just had a thought. PM all of us with his number, and we will all ring him up and call him a fucking twat/shout 'willywillywilly' - and say 'love from your girlfriend's sister'. Having withheld our numbers of course.

Get caller ID. Stop answering the phone to him.
When you see your sister or him, do not mention it at all. Do not tell them what you have done, or argue about it.

The best way to deal with an attention seeker is to clam up on them. If they don't know what you are doing, they cannot react to it, or try to get around it. Keep them on the back foot, and they will no longer find it amusing.

The adult in me says "tell them that next time they call like this, you will be telling the police, and you have ordered a full record of calls from your telephone provider. Then you have given them a warning, and if they want a police record they have made an informed choice. "

The child in me though...

Oh yes, let's all do it!

No... no...

Where is op?

tripp trapp?

Get a T-shirt that says "I am with stupid ----> " and at every family gathering/visit, wear it. Say nothing, just keep positioning yourself next to him. And/or a giant foam pointing finger/hand thing you see in America, and just point at him, again, saying nothing.

Phone him at 3am and play the birdie song down the phone - he will not be able to get it out of his head for the rest of the night and won't be able to sleep. Remember to un-plug your phone after you have done it!

TBH this kind of thing would have made me laugh too when I was that age especially when I was stoned
