What's the strangest thing you've ever heard when you answered the phone?

I can't say that I've ever heard anything all that weird, but my family has.  My son (9 months at the time) got a hold of my cell phone and called my father-in-law.  All he could hear was some heavy breathing with voices in the background.\n\nMy brother came home to an odd message on his answering machine.  Some guy with a strong Oklahoman accent was calling about a squirrel in his fireplace and needed someone to come get it out.  He didn't leave his name or number.  My brother had it online for a while.  If I can find the link, I'll add it later.

Catching my 12 year old brother having phone sex...\nHe called a hotline and they actually talked to him and toyed with his foolishly young mind..

Those were cute, I really liked the last one. \nMy brothers used to say:\n"Hello....(pause).... yeah hold on....(pause)....Oh just kidding, no ones home right now, leave us your name and number... blah, blah, blah."\nEverytime I called and they said hello I didn't know if it was the answering machine or a person.

the answer to the joke was " it's a local call."\n\nBut that joke is no longer accurate as it now costs ".50 to make a local call from the payphones.

i was laying in bed one night years ago, and a voice started to say" you know". i covered my ears , so i didn't hear anything else. the voice was really low and hoarse. i know it wasn't anyone in my house because i was alone.

with our scanner, we have a frequency that allows you to pick up both sides of your nearby neighbors phone conversation as long as one is talking on a cordless phone.\nwhen we lived near the college, I heard people talking about cooking drugs, cheating on their wife, drunk people,etc.\ni stopped listening when we moved into a neighborhood of mostly retired people. I swear they talk about being constipated and not getting enough fiber, and arthritis... I haven't listened in since\n\nohhh did you know we can pick up baby monitors too? And guess where most parents put one of the radios- in their bedroom!\nat first I thought it was porn or something i was hearing(those kind of sounds ) then I heard a baby!!  It took me a little bit to figure out because they were mexican and didn't speak english, but i could hear what went on in their house 24/7 \nI'm sure most people are unaware of this juicy little fact :-)

Sneak into another person's room, put K-Y Jelly on their phone and then call the other person's room!  Man does this work! I've done it before and it's soooooo funny.  Of course I've had it done to me and it wasn't as funny. :(

When a telephone marketer calls at my brother's house, he usually hands off the phone to my 4 year-old or 2 year-old niece!\n\nA girlfriend also told me that her brother sends slices of American cheese back in those pre-paid envelopes that come with junkmail LOL

i have recieved a number of these calls from people with various accents. They are crazy. Get them off the phone quickly(and have a little fun) by asking them a few questions--"exactly what branch of the government are you calling from?" --"from what department and who heads it?"\nSay, "I know that all communication from the U.S. government can be varied.  May I have your name?"
