Weirdest Phone Calls You've Ever Received

[Roofstone]

I once got a call that went EXACTLY like this...

*Ring ring*
Me: Hello?
?: Hey bro, make me some nachos okay?
Me: Do I know you?
?: Oh don't you give me that! I'm serious about those nachos man, I'm fucking starving!
Me: Ummm...
?: Gotta go man!
*click*
Me:...

3 years and I've never figured out who it was that wanted those nachos...

You did make them though? You can't leave a man starving... And without nachos! D:

OT: Another weird call was when the morgue called me and said that my urn was ready. Not that I could pick somebodies urn up, literally that MY urn was ready...

Not a single one of you knows the definition of "weird phone call" until you've worked at a call center.

Sadly, I've had the pleasure of that. Talk about awful. Thankfully, mine was mostly inbound... I'm glad I never had to try and sell things. More along the lines of customer support. For Credit Cards.

On my home phone I think the weirdest was the calls we kept getting to remind us that our tree and shrub appointment was coming up but I too worked in a call center and came across some weird stuff.

Let's see I think my favorites are the rather nice but addled older man who kept getting calls on his cell for a detective agency that had misprinted their fliers. Then there was dealing with phone problems. I wasn't tech support but could talk though basic things like power cycling the phone and making sure it's programmed right I don't know how many people I had that would cut out the instant I told them to power cycle the phones they said they weren't on and then there was one man who argued with me that his phone did not have or need a battery to work and that I clearly didn't know my job and he wanted to speak to my supervisor.

Ah fun times.

So I received a phone call where the guy on the other end just mumbled at me in a language I couldn't understand before hanging up. The same number kept calling again and again leaving me voice messages every time. The first few I listened to were just more mumbling but one of them had this loud bang in the background. Still have no idea what he wanted or why he was so persistent as I could never make out anything he was saying.

Probably isn't that strange but it got me wondering if anyone has any stories about weird phone calls/texts/voice messages they've received?

sounds like a good thriller.

a man trapped somewhere being tortured, calls a random number for help....

I think you're onto something there, I couldn't understand him because he was half-mad with the pain of his injuries. The loud bang was probably a gunshot, that would explain why the calls stoppped a short time after that.

Haha, I'd feel really guilty if that was case, considering I just figured he had the wrong number and stopped answering him or listening to his messages.

I got one phone call that was just a bunch of random voice clips from Family Guy.

 

[Bestival]

My dad and I sound identical on the phone, and one time when I answered some prankers thought they had my dad on. So I just went along with it.

He was going on about how he fucked my daughter, blah blah. So I'm all "Oh yeah me too, she's pretty good." Etc.

Then after a while they caught on that they were never going to get the response they were hoping for, so I cursed em out, which I did quite racistly, and I regret that now... The racism, not the cursing out of a bucket of cunts. (Could tell from the accents that they were foreigners.)

I'd have to say that apart from the calls that don't have anyone at the other end (they hang up before saying anything), the weirdest phone call I've had was at work. The guy was asking stuff in a shouting...tone. I say tone because I couldn't understand a word he said. It took about two minutes until there was a tagline of "You just got pranked by *random prank call service here*!". That may be downplayed by the fact that it's a prank call, but it was still weird to hear that.

Few times a year I recieve a phonecall asking about crop prices for animals. It's a phone number typo, but it got annoying after 4 years.

Next time I get it I'll tell them I moved on to growing marijuana and they are welcome to it.

When I got my first mobile I had a woman ring me several times who had obviously been given a fake number from her date or something.
It would always go something like this:

Her: Tim?!
Me: No, lady, I'm not called Tim, I'm a girl, and I'm twelve.
Her:.....Tim?
Me: No. Stop calling.
Her: TIM!?

That happened a few times til she stopped calling.

Also I've sent a weird phone call once.
When I went to the ER I was waiting a while before I could see the doctor, and they were giving me stronger and stronger painkillers. So when I finally got checked into the hospital, I basically had no idea where I was because things were too awesome from all the painkillers.
When I came round I thought I better ring my mother, tell her I'm in hospital.
But when I rang her it went like this:

Me: Hi, mum, don't panic but I'm in hospital.
Her: I know.
Me: You know?
Her: You rang me about half an hour ago, stoned off your tits.

To this day I do not remember ringing her or what I said.

I kept getting calls from Tangier, which is a nice little place off of the Virginia coast.
And these people have an accent that make them sound like gibbering madmen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIZgw09CG9E#t=40s].

I got about three calls from that guy that day before he stopped. Never understood a word he said.

 

[IndomitableSam]

I got a text a few weeks ago of an Ultrasound picture... and the yesterday a picture of a baby. No idea who they're from, I just keep deleting them.

Opening up a random text and seeing a fetus is pretty disturbing.

 

[Monsterfurby]

Someone wanted to buy laboratory equipment from me.

I was a second-semester sinology student then. Couldn't really help them out.

17th birthday, it takes a while for me to answer the phone on account of me being in the toilet. I reach the phone and all I hear is my uncle say "Fuck me I'm hungry"(Talking to himself). I reply with "Well go and get some food". Then I get wished a happy birthday. Pretty weird to answer the phone to that. :3

Once I got a call from someone, I don't know where they were from, but they had such a thick accent I swear to god it sounded like they said "Hello, is this Germanfuckyourass?"

 

[Sectan]

I got a call from a guy pretending to be me. I played along. Turns out "I" needed $1000 dollars to pay for my medical bills in Mexico. I must have gotten into a car accident and ended up with some broken bones.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I once had a phone call at work (RAF) from a guy who wanted a lift to the airport... When I explained that I was in an ops room on an airfield he took that to mean that I was a taxi firm based at an airport and that I was going to send someone...
I had dropped myself in it big time... was hard to re-explain... and then say the differences between an airport and an airfield! :/

I also had a different guy phone that same phone trying to order a pizza...! :S He got a number wrong though!
