We’ve all been subjected to ‘hello 11811 Mourrrgrett speaking…’, and safe to say you wouldn’t go out of your way to ring them unless you were actually needed some sort of urgent medical treatment, or if you needed a chinese delivery in a very drunken haze. A middle aged man in Japan has been thrown in the clink for placing 10,000 calls (yes, 4 zeros!) to directory assistance. Why? Becuase he liked when the operators gave out to him!
“I would go into ecstasy when a lady scolded me,” he was quoted as saying by Jiji Press.
Telephone operators – who in Japan are almost always women – nicknamed him the “don’t-hang-up-man”.
His calls usually came late and sometimes exceeded 200 times a night, Jiji Press said.
Now there’s a man with dedication! I mean if this guy had sat down with a careers guidance person earlier he could’ve made it big in telecommunications! They certainly could do with someone like this over in UPC where they seem to be alergic to answering the god damn telephone!
