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

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

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

HELLO

Is Tinder the best dating app?

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 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.

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

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

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.

What do you think of the Black history lessons in the PBS documentary about jazz pianist-singer Hazel Scott?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Sure no problem officer.

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

Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

Yes sir it is.
