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

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

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?

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

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

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.

What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

Yes sir it is.

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.
