The love of a good woman’s scolding has landed a Japanese man in a a heap of trouble!
Lacking a live-in scold, he phoned directory assistance 2,600 times between June and November….all because he liked to be scolded by female operators who obviously didn’t share his passion
While those are a lot of calls, phone Ripley’s now!
Japanese media said he is suspected of starting his habit in 2004 and calling more than 10,000 times.
The unemployed 37 year old, who – surprise ladies, is single, would whisper “darling” as he attempted to start up a conversation, then pleaded with the operators not to hang up.
Operators nicknamed him the “Don’t hang up” man. His calls were late and night and usually exceeded 200 per night, most operators in Japan are still women. I am still trying to figure out how to get a live person for assistance here in the US of A. (sans scolding).
He confessed to police that he was lonely and “Would go into ecstasy when one scolded me”
I still say that many American men do not know what treasures share their hearth and home.
Sadly, he was arrested Tuesday in Tokyo on charges of obstructing the business of service operator NTT Solco, part of telecom giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone…a gigantic corporation with no romance in their steely hearts I might add.
Lonely Japanese man calls directory help 2,600 times: police
Obviously the man needs the xPhone!
