More of the Weird, Funny Calls I Get

Ever since we started the Got Questions, Get Answers campaign at my station, we’ve received a phenomenal amount of phone calls and emails. Some of those questions can be quite amusing:

Here are some of the eyebrow-raising remarks/questions people have left me in the recent past, and others that I remember:

-A man left a message saying he’s tired of another man calling him “Bonito” and claims that man is pedophile who is mistaking him for a boy because he’s “short.” Bonito means pretty-boy in Spanish.

-A man claiming to be a registered sex offender wants to know why he keeps getting discriminated because he’s a felon and can’t find a good job.

-Another man claims the interest on his late child support payments is too high and that he “never got a loan” so there shouldn’t be interest.

-One caller said my neck has grown “fat” over the years and hopes my family has set me a side to warn me about my weight problem. He says there’s no difference between my neck and chin and that “it’s all one piece.”

-One man wrote us saying the weather alert “beeping” sound that comes on during weather alerts on our channel causes his mother to repeatedly get up out of her seat to check the microwave and stove.

-One caller said she hears a “hum” in the Albuquerque foothills, similar to the Taos Hum.

-One caller wanted me to expose a company for not giving him a refund for a VCR repair. The amount in question was two dollars.
