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

{RING} {RING}

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.

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

Does CloudFlare protect blackhat sites from DDOS attacks?

Yes sir it is.

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

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

How do military families balance personal political views with respect for civilian leadership?

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.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

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

How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?

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

After a few moments he returns.

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

Do "flat-earthers" attempt to sail around the world to prove their theory? Would this support their belief in a flat Earth?

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

Sure no problem officer.

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 it appropriate for parents to discipline their child in public if the child is being rude, disrespectful, and unruly towards them? Why or why not?

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

HELLO
