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

HELLO
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?
Yes sir it is.
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
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?
After a few moments he returns.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?
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.
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.
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??
Sure no problem officer.
