The Wellington City Council’s contact centre has made a top-ten list. Asked to come up a list reflecting the best, the biggest, the baddest, the funniest, the weirdest and wackiest from 2019, they’ve come up with this selection:

1. “Am I required to get consent to bury my husband in the backyard?”

2. “Why do people toot their horns through the Mt Vic Tunnel?”

3. “What can Council do about the sun shining through my window and causing my bananas to go brown?”

4. “I have a dead horse in my back yard. What do I do with it?”

5. “Hello, is this the number I ring to get a wife?”

6. “There is a mouse in my house…should I call the police?”

7. “What do I do about a stag head on my neighbour’s lawn?”

8. “I’m cleaning out the flat I used to landlord and I’ve found a lot of give way signs and traffic cones, can you pick them up?”

9. “How can I stop burning my bottom when I go down the playground slide?”

10. “I was out catching Pokémon and I’ve been locked behind the wind turbine exit gate.”
