Some people must just have selective hearing when they use the phone. We have a printing company in town with a very similar name. Despite the fact that I always answer the phone with, "XYZ Cabinets, this is Desecrator," I still get people trying to order paper, prints, etc. I love it when they sound confused. "Isn't this XYZ Printing?" Nope! And I just told you that 30 seconds ago.
What really kills me, though, are the people who try to fax us on our phone line. I do so love hearing high-pitched beeping when I answer the phone! Now, I understand mixing the two numbers up. I've done it before, but it usually only takes one or two attempts before I realize my mistake. The annoying people are the ones who try to send a fax every five minutes for an hour or two, and never think to call us and ask the real fax number. (It's happened before. Talk about wasting my time!) This also happens with the automated fax spammers sometimes. Not fun!
