I have two words for this guy, “seek help.” This 37-year-old guy is jobless, single and obviously very lonely. Which explains why he called directory assistance 10,000 times. He was reported whispering “darling” as he tried to strike a conversation and then pleaded with the female operators not to hang up. Now that’s got to rank way up there on the scale of creepiness.

Japanese media reported that he started making these calls back in 2004. When caught, he told police that he was lonely and grew to enjoy annoying the operators. He was quoted saying, “I would go into ecstasy when a lady scolded me.”

I’m as equally concerned as to why the authorities let this guy go for this long before deciding to throw his ass into the slammer. I bet he won’t be too lonely with his cellmate and other guys around. [via news.com.au]
