One place I lived, soon as I got my phone it started ringing, people wanting to pay their traffic ticket! Darn thing rang all day long so I asked what number they were actually calling and it was actually MY number... so I called the phone company and asked if they gave me the the town hall's OLD number and they checked and had NOT! Next person that called I asked WHERE they got this number FROM... It was printed on the TICKETS they got!.... Next call, TOWN HALL... The calls eventually stopped....

Then I started getting calls for a Odessa...Grrrrrrr!

ONE more phone related peeve... The people who call and say " You called here?" when you answer......
