After moving into my current house, I about kicked myself because the street name has an apostrophe in it. Luckily pretty much every system now simply filters that out but there was a time when having SQL characters in your name or address could cause all kinds of havoc, not just because of Bobby Tables but also because some simply escaped the characters while others filtered them, leading to mismatches.
