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?

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

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.

HELLO

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

Why do men prefer women below the age of 30?

Sure no problem officer.

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

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

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

Yes sir it is.

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

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

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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.

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?

After a few moments he returns.

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