At work the telecom guy was proud of the telephone number he gave me ("very easy to remember!" he said). Well, it turns out it was one digit off of the local Alcoholics Anonymous help line. I had digit "1" and AA had "7". I got a lot of drunken phone calls and voice messages. All depressing since they were asking for help. Figured it out after a few calls, but from now on I'll take the ugly telephone numbers.

Had the same case when local (although quite large) bus terminal helpline had similar number.

Calls like "where the heck is my bus?" or "how can get to xxx" at 2am weren't so rare until I changed the number
