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?

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

Sure no problem officer.

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

Yes sir it is.

After a few moments he returns.

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.

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

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.

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

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

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.
