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

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

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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?

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

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

Yes sir it is.

Why is my ex mad I moved on when he dumped me?

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

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

HELLO

What toxic behavior has been normalized by society?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

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

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'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.

After a few moments he returns.

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

What made you feel disgusted today?

Sure no problem officer.

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