What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

Why does the UK Labour MP Jess Philips seem to be such a divisive figure?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Sure no problem officer.

After a few moments he returns.

What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Yes sir it is.

What makes you feel guilty the most?

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

HELLO
