Weirdest Phone Calls You've Ever Received

[RufusMcLaser]

A few months ago someone called me asking if aircraft number so-and-so was "mission ready." It was a wrong number from a military airfield in Alaska.

I've had some pretty strange phone conversations with clients. One that stands out was the time a client called me complaining that a sexy video wasn't working on his iphone, which led to me trailing around the office asking people for their iphones so I could test said video on every version of iOS.

People love it when you ask to borrow their phone, then download porn onto it.

I once got three wrong numbers from the same elderly woman asking for her daughter (I think it was several years ago) within the same hour.

Also at my old dorm I kept getting calls attempting to sell me insurance on a car I had never owned. They just wouldn't stop so I took to asking them for quotes on the Batmobile, Ecto-1, Optimus Prime, and the Mach 5. Once I just screamed into the phone until they hung up. No words or anything. Just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 'til they went away.

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.

Wow, that's actually pretty interesting (the video, not the call, which I imagine would be pretty weird). Then again, I enjoy languages and such. Its a shame that dialect is slowly dying, really. A direct link to the past like that is rare.

Those people who insist that they couldn't possibly have the wrong number, and get angry when you don't pass them onto the intended receipient.

These people need phones taken off them

Somebody must have posted my number on 4chan because for a whole night I kept getting calls with those soundchip things on the other end with the prerecorded answers. It was like Arnold Schwarzenegger or some crap. Kind of odd.

Oooo and one time the coach from Highschool (I recognized his voice) called my cell and asked me if I was coming into practice today. I was all lolwat.jpg so I tell him he's got the wrong number and he goes "John get your ass down here or you're sitting out the next game!" so I go "YES SIR I'LL BE RIGHT THERE I'M SORRY!".. don't know if John ever went to practice that day and got to play :'( was funny though. Even funnier, I had been out of school for 4 years at this point so how he got my number is beyond me.

One night I got a call from a private number around 3 am which woke me up. When I answered the phone I heard some weird voice saying my name and "You'll find the body of the girl I devoured outside." Suffice to say I was creeped out as fuck and ran around turning on every light I could in my apartment and grabbing a knife. Never got any sleep after that, but in the morning there was nothing there.

Sometimes I get calls from pre-recorded bots that tell me about how I've won a boat or a ticket for a boat or something. It always opens with a boat horn blasting into the phone and it used to make me jump the first few times I got it. It's like "ring ring" "hello" "..." "..." "...BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU GOT A FUCKING BOAT MAN! YOU DID IT!"

I was gonna post the same thing! I've received at least 3 of those calls. At this point they're more funny than annoying.

not really weird but the best in recent memory is from an indian (sounded indian) telemarketer
"hello sir my name is josh stiller and i am here today to ask you if you're interested in"
"no"
"excuse me"
"your name is not josh"
"yes it is sir i."
"no, tell me your real name and i will consider buying your product"
"my name is saheed (or somthing similar)
"okay saheed now go and think about what you've done"
"okay, *hangs up*"

Lets see a few years back I missed a call from 408, yes that was the entire listed number, they left a flute solo as a message.

My friend got a call last year from Hank Hill (me via soundboard) here's what they said:

Hank: Hi there!
Friend: Uhh, hi, who is this?
Hank: I'm Hank Hill!
Friend: *laughing*
Hank: The name's Hank Hill, ah sell propane and propane accessories!
Friend: Okay?
Hank: I'm here, to tell you h'what, Strickland can do to meet your energy needs!
Friend: Uhh-
Hank: You see at Strickland the customer comes first. It's kinda interesting the word "customer" begins with C-U, well we don't C-U as a customer but as a member of our team. Ya understand what i'm saying?
Friend: *gets idea* I use charcoal sorry.
Hank: Waitaminute! You take that back!
Friend: *laughs more* Make me!
Hank: Son yer teasin' the gorilla in the monkey house!
Friend: Bring it on!
Hank: I'm gunna kick yer ass!
Friend: *hangs up*
Hank: I've got the strangest feeling someone's gonna kick his ass!
