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

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

HELLO

After a few moments he returns.

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

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.

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 possible to run away from home at 16? What are some essential items to bring for survival?

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

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

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

What are some life hacks for living on your own?

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

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?

What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

Yes sir it is.

Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??

Sure no problem officer.

Can an infrared sauna blanket assist in weight loss along with detoxification?

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.
