I don't know who you are, but tell your friends your new phone number!

[TellMeI_mNotCrazy]

I once had a number that was only a digit off from the local pharmacy’s phone number, so of course we frequently got calls for them (and, likely, they got plenty for us).

But one day, I got the call that took the cake…

The phone rang, and I answered.

There were about two beats of silence, followed by uproarious laughter.

It was my then-husband. He had been trying to call the pharmacy and had, what-do-you-know, called our number instead. :wally

And while you’re at it, change your address, too. We moved into this house in November, it had sat empty for six months before that, and we’re still getting a couple pieces of mail each day for the couple that was here before. And I’m talking all kinds of mail - bank statements, government mail, cheques even. I was writing “not at this address” on them and sticking them in the mail, but after the mailman returned one of those to my house, I started spelling it out for them - “Not at this address - return to sender.” :rolleyes: We’ve decided that we will return the mail for six months, and after that, it goes straight into recycling. I can see missing a change of address for a couple of junk mailers, but your bank statements?

On a related note, I keep hoping I will run into the guy from whom I bought my house a year ago so I can tell him “Dude, if you’re going to get gay porn videos from a guy called Crazy Benzi (“I will not be undersold!”), you really should take five minutes to fill out the change of address form!”
