Dutch woman 'called boyfriend 65,000 times'

Gerald · 09-14-11, 07:02 AM

A Dutch woman who called a man 65,000 times in the past year - an average of 178 calls a day - is due in court later to face charges of stalking.

The man told police he had been bombarded with calls, texts and emails from the woman.

Lawyers say the 42-year-old woman claimed to be in relationship with the man and denied that her actions were excessive.

The 62-year-old man denies that they were in a relationship.

The police raided the woman's home in Rotterdam and seized a number of mobile phones and several computers.

The BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague says a judge at a preliminary hearing granted the woman bail on the condition that she leave the man alone.

The next part of this saga will be, "she later died of a heart attack after receiving her phone bill".

It was not all bad. She did manage to pay for her home in a short amount of time. Payment was done with a sack full of dimes.

If each call was 20 seconds that's nearly an hour every day, 365 hours per year.

More productive in that time would've been to watch Das Boot!

Even if I were in a relationship with someone, that would be excessive. And that relationship would not last very long.

And if you weren't in a relationship? It would be deemed 'normal'.

No, it would be deemed "you need to get a life (that doesn't involve me) and I need to get a restraining order."

We all know how much men like chatting on the phone...

...so, what a torture

frau kaleun · 09-14-11, 10:30 AM

I'm not a man and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people with whom I enjoy "chatting" on the phone. And that's only because they are people I don't see regularly or talk to more than once or twice a month, so we actually have something to chat about when we call each other.

Beyond that, when it comes to phone calls that do not involve the transfer of mutually useful information, I have very little patience.
