Here's a mildly odd one - probably the strangest prank call (if it was in fact a prank call?) I've ever gotten. This was sophomore year in college, and the phone rang at 2:30 a.m. (I was awake but still pretty surprised to have the phone ring.)
ME: Hello? CALLER: (in heavily accented English) Hello, I would like to speak to Reindeer. ME: Huh? CALLER: I would like to speak to Reindeer. ME: Um...there's nobody named Reindeer here. CALLER: Are you sure? ME: Well, yeah. I've lived here by myself all year. There's no Reindeer. You must have the wrong number. CALLER: This is [vaguely Middle Eastern-sounding name]. ME: Okay. CALLER: And I would like to speak to Reindeer. ME: I really think you have the wrong number. CALLER: What number did I call? ME: [Recites back my phone number] CALLER: Oh! That is the correct number and I would like to speak to Reindeer! ME: Okay, look - there is no Reindeer here. You have the wrong number. CALLER: This is [vaguely Middle Eastern-sounding name]. ME: All right, fine, whoever you are, there is no Reindeer here. Okay? CALLER: Okay (hangs up).
As a fan of the "make everyone's day a little more randomly strange" school of humor, I actually kind of appreciated the joke, if that's what it was. I never did figure out who did it, and to this day I'm still not 100% sure that there wasn't in fact a guy looking for someone named Reindeer at 2:30 in the morning.

^ Hey that reminds me of a certain prank call I did one time when I was a teenager I called this random number and this woman picked up normally saying simply "hello" and all I said it in a disguised voice was (before those last summer movies, just so you know!! Lol) "I know who you are and I know what you did" and suddenly the woman started shaking, I know cause I could hear it in her voice, she started whispering in a hoarse voice back "who are you"? And then "what do you want?" But I got so surprised by her replies that I quickly hung up, I kinda felt bad...

I only seemed to get the "standard" prank calls when I was a teenager - either impersonating a friend of mine and saying something weird, or the ones with an obvious punch line. I had "This is GE, is your refrigerator running? Well then you'd better go catch it!" a couple times, as well as "This is Jack-in-the-Box, do you want to guess how many Jacks are in the Box?" (I always just said a number and hung up, but I'm told that the punch line is "I'm sorry, but you're one Jack off.")
If you're a Doctor Who fan, check out a comedian named Jon Culshaw on YouTube - he does a spot-on impression of Tom Baker (the fourth actor to play the Doctor) and calls various services and stores in-character, e.g. calling a hardware store and asking, "Do you have any matter dispersal beams? I need one in order to prevent the Master from destroying Earth with a psychonic resonator." The funniest one for me was when he called a taxi service and asked for transport to the Chamber of the High Council of Time Lords on the Planet Gallifrey, and the dispatcher responded, "Oh, it's one of you" and hung up (making me wonder how often they get calls requesting transport to Gallifrey).

Everybody knows you're supposed to travel in a police box if you want to go to Gallifrey. Though you could probably word it more cleverly to not quite give it away that it's not a real place.

Today I learned that if you hate a woman's hair style you are misogynistic.

One time, as a wee little kiddo, I got shivved in the leg by a trash bag, it nicked an artery and I nearly bled to death on my front lawn. Another time(I grew up on a farm, mind you) I was riding around on our donkey when a jackass(pun intended)friend of my parents decided to come up behind the donkey and smack it across the rear, sending it into a sprint and tossing me off of it, breaking my arm in the process. Another time, I tripped and fell down the stairs twice in a week and had to get my head X-rayed both times, so the doctors thought my parents were beating me. I was an accident prone child. There's a reason I came here though, because after reading the OP I had no choice. I seriously didn't want to do this, but I have to

A few years back I was watching my nephew, just chillin and watching a movie together. I looked over to just see how he was doing but he wasn't there. I was like wtf and before I could get up, he very slowly peeked over the side of the chair, narrowing his eyes at me and uttered, "Fuck you." >MRW He was 4 at the time, to this day I'm still like what in the actual fuck. I will remind him of this when he gets older I swear to god.

I just remembered one that I hadn't thought of in a while - when I was 16, my mom and I were looking for a bumper sticker that said "Just Visiting This Planet," and somebody suggested we try a certain store, without informing us that the store specialized in various forms of sexual paraphernalia. Let's just say we were both rather...unprepared for what we saw there. Though I did get the bumper sticker, which the sales clerk was happy to help me find (probably in the interest of getting me out of there ASAP).
Oh, and they also had Star Trek action figures. Make of that what you will.
