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?

What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

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.

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

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

Why won't my mom let me come home if I'm homeless?

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

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

Yes sir it is.
