Lonely man calls directory enquiries 10,000 times

A Japanese man has been arrested over allegations that he called directory assistance over 10,000 times – because he was lonely.

It is reported that 37year-old Takahiro Fujinuma made the calls because he enjoyed being told off by the operators. He would apparently whisper 'darling' at the operators as he began the call, before begging female operators not to hang up on him.

Fujinuma is reportedly unemployed, and single.
