A story from Japan Today tells us that a 34 year old man has been arrested for making nuisance phone calls to a 63 year old man who lost his dog.
Satoshi Nagasawa was caught out after police traced the calls to his mobile phone.
The story titled Akita man arrested for making 30 nuisance calls a day for two months says that the caller was stressed out and just wanted to cause trouble for someone.
According to police investigations, Nagasawa found the victim’s number in a classified ad in a local newspaper, and called him about up to 30 times a day. The two have never met each other. The victim suffered a stomach ulcer due to stress from the calls.
So it seems that he enjoys calling people simply to annoy them and cause them trouble. I wonder how long it’ll be before a phone company gets in touch with Nagasawa to offer him a job as a telemarketer.

Lol…good idea, if only Nagasawa thought about telemarketer job and he would be fine.
Thanks for dropping in, Ori.
Our phone number is now on a ‘do not call’ register so we don’t get as many telemarketers calling us these days, but it always amazed me that telemarketers always knew when I would sit down to dinner. They always managed to call as soon as dinner began. 🙂
My stock standard response to crank calls is (in a looney, sing song voice) “I know your number! I’m gonna call your mother! I know where you live! ”
Usually freaks them out enough to stop them calling again lol.
Love it, Jayne. If I get another call I’ll try it.
These days I just act very polite and intersted. I ask their name and the business name then in a very friendly voice tell them that I’m now going to report them for breaking the law and calling someone on the do not call register. They genreally hang up pretty fast.
Problem is, half of them are in India!
