Man called directory assistance 10,000 times

A 37-year-old Japanese man has been arrested after placing 10,000 calls to directory assistance. He did not need to get phone numbers, rather, he called because he enjoyed having the operators chide him.

According to News.com.au, his calls usually came late and sometimes exceeded 200 times a night.
