I got one of those nigerian scam emails last year....And one of my housemates was irritating me greatly, so I replied to the scammer and asked him to give 'me' a call, obviously including my housemate's mobile number.
Middle of the night, I get woken by half of a very confused conversation, with lots of 'Eh?' 'What?' 'How did you get my number'?
Now, due to my housemate's northern accent, neither side in the conversation really knew what the other was on about, so when the scammer eventually wrote back to me, I explained that the line was bad and asked him to call back the next night.
After ringing my housemate up in the middle of the night and barking incomprehensible english in a nigerian accent for most of a week, the scammer eventually got bored and stoppped calling.
Shame :)

My flat mate at Uni( he is probably reading this) ate nothing but marmite on toast and coffee for the first 2 years. He arrived home from a club early one Sunday morning still out of his mind on E. I chatted to him about the previous night and each time he looked away I turned off the grill. Every couple of minutes he would check his toast and look confused. By keeping a straight face this went on for over 40 minutes before he gave up and went to bed.
