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

{RING} {RING}

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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

Can you explain the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel? Why does it appear that Israel has been more successful in the conflict?

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?

After a few moments he returns.

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.

HELLO

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.

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

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

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

Why does my girlfriend keep asking me if I love her?

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

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

Sure no problem officer.
