An Austrian court has ordered a 73-year-old woman in the southernmost Austrian state of Carinthia to pay 360 euros ($475) for frequent calls to her son, local media said on Thursday.
The woman`s son filed a lawsuit saying he was tired of answering the almost 50 phone calls a day he received from his mother over a 2 1/2-year period, the Kleine Zeitung newspaper reported.
The court ruled that the pensioner`s phone calls could be characterized as stalking.
Meanwhile, the woman said she just wanted to talk to her son.
