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

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?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

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

Has Pope Francis signed a document that gay men can now become priests?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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

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 worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

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

Sure no problem officer.

How do you get a teenage boy to care about hygiene?

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

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

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