This one got me:

Just last night I received possibly the most disturbing phone sex call
I'd had in a long time.
A caller shot himself with me on the phone.
Things like this always scare me.
My current track record stands at one confession of incestuous sexual
abuse, and two other suicides.

Holy shit that's an intense industry: Getting paid to listen to people
discuss their fantasies anonymously and unrestrained.  I wonder how
often the "typical phone sex operator" hears run-of-the-mill bourgeois
taboos versus eyebrow raising kink versus shit that makes the hair on
the back of your neck stand up.
