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

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

Just think of how awkward that must have been for the recipient at the radio station: "Congratulations, sir, you're the 40th person to call in! You'll officially receive--" *sound of phone disconnecting* "What the-?! He just hung up on me! Forget that, we're giving them to the next caller." Anyway, it's a missed opportunity, but your life's not over or anything.

I Have actually done this! When you hit off/redial over 100 times you do it automatically... Not good when you win but you repetitive motion scared fingers betray you for the torture you subject them to.
