If not British, then in what locale do you think it originates?

My dog called me at work, once.

When I heard the phone being eaten, on the other side, I new what was going on and told her to “Stop that!”

I drove home and got there before she got to the battery.

I guess it’s not as cute as that darned gecko, though.

Lol! I thought of that too. Couldn't recall what thriller film it was from.

Didn't know the late Charles Durning was in it. I was his doorman for almost 5 years back in the 90s.

LOL! Was she a puppy?

When E.F. Gecko calls

People listen...

I had a flip phone a few years ago that I accidentally “butt dialed” in my sleep.

Since the ringer was off I didn’t hear my brother calling me back.

At three o’clock in the morning.

He was not as amused as I was....

I like the way the title says the gecko “accidentally” made the call.

In before the Gei...who am I kidding?

“The more remarkable thing is that, the gecko figured out the password to unlock the phone for making the phone calls.”

Unlock codes are not necessary for butt-dialed calls. They only exist to frustrate people like me. :)

Seriously, I constantly misstype the unlock sequence and take 2-3 tries to unlock my phone, but stick the phone in my pocket and it seems to unlock automatically as well as finding menus I could not get back to with a manual.

I live in Florida and recently had a gecko crawl over our video doorbell and trigger the motion detector. When I looked at the video alert it looked like a gigantic monster was attacking our house. The little guy was right over the camera lens and looking into it. It was weird.

Unfortunately, the Gecko is on the Do Not Cull list.

Sounds like something the menehune would do in the hotel where I worked on Maui. Every weird thing that happened was blamed on menehune.
