Today, I called my favorite radio station over and over, trying to be the 40th caller to win sold-out concert tickets, each time holding my thumb over the button to quickly hang up and re-dial if busy. I finally got through and they congratulated me being the winning caller! By habit, I hung up. FML
LonelyFrog tells us more.
Wow, a couple hate messages in here. Yes it happened, it was for Depeche Mode Release tickets for house of blues on 4/21 and I never said there was no screener. It was the screener that said "congratulations, you're the winning caller" So no busy signal, not even a single ring, just an answer. I was spoken to, but before he could say anything else, I was so excited, my reflexes just hit the end button where my thumb was and it was over. Yes, stupid me, nerves, excitement, motor reflexes whatever. Lost the tickets and someone else got them. End of story. I bought two tickets for August now. $110 each

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Jeez, there are a lot of unfortunate people here for so many to be saying, "Yeah, I've done that too!" I refuse to accept that there are really that many people who have gotten through as the winning caller and have all accidentally hung up. FYL indeed, I would have cursed for days straight.

What radio station doesn't take you through to a call screener first? I've tried calling a few of those places before and they always have a call screener who runs a short interview before saying anything related to the contest.
