Sold down the river...

I lived in a condo complex for 7 years before buying a house. There was another family with the same last name as us and we would get their mail. When we moved all of her magazine subscriptions came to our new address. I called to let the magazine people know, and they said the corrected it, but I got Parents, Marie Claire, and Vogue for free for over 2 years anyways. COOL!

I realize that is reverse of what your looking for, but I have been fortunate. Our number was listed wrong in the phone book and occasionally we would get a call from SBC telling us that the woman who had the number that was listed was mad and wanted us to correct it. Only we didn't have SBC and we were suppose to be unlisted. So everytime I tried to call and get it fixed, they would tell me I was unlisted and there was nothing we could do. LOL! We could look in all phone books and see the wrong numbers, but no one could help us...oh darn! Since we switched to our new phone service...we are correctly unlisted now!

I received a phone call featuring the recorded voice of George Bush once. I think he was asking me to kick gays or Arabs or some such. Yeah, I gave THAT recording an earful.
