TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man was arrested this week after making 37,760 silent calls to directory enquiries because he wanted to listen to the "kind" voices of female telephone operators.

The 44-year-old has admitted to allegations of obstructing the operations of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. by making up to 905 calls a day from his mobile phone, the daily Mainichi Shimbun said on its Web site.

"When I made a complaint call once, the operator dealt with it very kindly, so I wanted to hear these women's voices," the paper quoted him as telling police in Hiroshima, western Japan.

Police believe the calls, made between March and July this year, caused psychological distress to more than 100 telephone operators, the Mainichi said.

What a loser.  He really needs to get tie a cactus around his leg and jump into a lake and die.  It will be good for everyone.

I wish they would publish his phone number.  People would want to talk to him.

Little does he know Jane Barbe was ugly... even uglier now that she's dead.

What a loser. He could have just recorded it, and kept playing it, instead of wasting his damn money by calling 411, or whatever the hell it is in Japan
