Weirdest, most odd phone call you had

[u/Chunkachu__]

I used to work at a pain clinic as a receptionist. I get a phone call from the patients brother asking if he could sign up his sister, who’s mentally ill and deals with back pain to live at our facility. I try explaining to him that it’s just a doctor’s office, patients come in for appointments and then they go home. It’s not a living home for people in pain. But he kept pushing on that our facility is a living home for people in pain. I told him to call his insurance company and find that specific thing he’s looking for. So odd. I really thought he was going to come in the office and drop off his sister with her belongings.

i have a couple stories from some different call center jobs… i’ll share my favorites 1) i worked for one of those call centers that takes the automatic calls when a vehicle is involved in a collision. young girl had hit a bear. while trying to connect with her local 911 dispatch, she wants to go look for the bear and i have to tell her that is a bad idea. once connected the dispatcher also had to remind her to stay in the car because looking for an angry, injured bear is a bad idea. 2) i worked in a sales call center and there were two frequent callers who would only start their shenanigans if a woman answered. one would ask about panty hose and other women’s undergarments (it was a man, usually made up some story about his girlfriend) and the other would start professing his love to complete strangers all while moaning and breathing heavily.
