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

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

After a few moments he returns.

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

Why do so many people like life?

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

Yes sir it is.

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

How did you become popular in school?

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

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.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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.

HELLO

What can I do to deal with disrespectful children?

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?

Sure no problem officer.

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

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

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

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