"I've had the misfortune of working at a company that annoyed a local shock jock who, in addition to having an audience of potty-mouths, was dyslexic--he gave out my phone number instead of the guy he was PO'd at."

BFD! For years the telephone company had one of my home phone numbers listed under Dodger ticket sales and they also gave it out from information and they refused to do anything about it.

They had transposed 2 numbers, mine was 244-1400 and theirs was 224-1400 and I had to field hundreds of calls every week, thousands on weekends if they were playing in town.

Did those calls consist of 10-15 people yelling obscenities at you?

I bet if you told everyone who called that they had won free tickets, and to come on down and get them, somehow, it would have been fixed.
