NY Man Evicted From Parents' Home Calls 911 on Person Who Called Him a ‘Loser'

"I can't have my phone getting jammed up with nonsense like that," Michael Rotondo said

The 30-year-old upstate New York man who was evicted from his parents' home says he's OK being the punchline of jokes as he prepares to move by the legal deadline.

Michael Rotondo was ordered to move out of his parents' home in Camillus on Friday. The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports Rotondo called 911 on Tuesday, saying a person had called his phone from a restricted number to call him a "loser."

"I can't have my phone getting jammed up with nonsense like that," Rotondo said as police responded to his complaint. "I can't have that happen."

Rotondo says he spent the weekend getting ready to move by going to Lowe's to buy boxes for packing. He says he was offered free packing supplies by a good Samaritan, but turned her down - saying it didn't feel right.

He was also paid $3,000 to appear on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio and YouTube show, Infowars. He also got a job offer from Villa Italian Kitchen, a pizza chain that operates across the country. 

Rotondo says he'll move everything into a self-storage unit, and then look for a place.
