Kinda related phone problem-

Years ago I started getting flooded with callers inquiring about show times at a local (San Diego at that time) porn movie theater.

I looked up the theater's phone number and it was the same as mine with the exception of an 8 in my number, which was a 3 in theirs.

I called the manager at the theater to see if they'd consider changing their number. The cretin said, nah, we've had this number for years (and I'd had mine for years as well) and hung up.

I checked the theater's ad in the paper and found that their number was printed so small that the 3 closed up enough to easily be misread as an 8, so I called the manager back and asked if he'd please make their number larger. He said nah and hung up on me again.

I was infuriated. Not five minutes passed and I got another call from a porn freak. "Sorry" I said, "we've had a bad projection room fire and the theater is closed indefinitely" and hung up.

I did this for all the calls I recieved (probably 15 or 20) until the next evening when I called the manager cretin back, told him what I was doing and hung up on him.

He had the number in their add enlarged the next day and the calls stopped.
