How did people "troll" before the internet?
My dad told me that him and his friends would ring peoples' doorbells or knock on their doors and run 😆.

Here is an example of adolescent trolling, in the form of prank phone calls.
Once, a friend and I, about age 14 at the time, called a number at random.
"Is Frank Wall there?" I asked. "Sorry, wrong number."
A few minutes later, he called the same number.
"Is Judy Wall there?" No
A few minutes later, "Is George Wall there?" No
A few minutes later, "Is Susan Wall there?" No. "Well, if none of the four Walls are there, how does your roof stay up?"
