Still

but following the phone line: Our current land line phone number is just one digit off from a local WalMart store, which of course is open 24/7/365. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many people are dyslexic with the keypad on a telephone and get me instead.

What really chaps my hide is that these Wal-ians, Wal-sters, Wal-ites, Wal-ers and Wal-ettes always get mad at ME for not being who they thought they were calling. Sometimes they argue, because how dare I answer WalMart's phone and pretend not to be them, and sometimes they just slam down the receiver as if I was inconveniencing them.

The part I enjoy is when one of their employees misdials, gets my answering machine, and still leaves a message reporting that they won't be in to work that day.

Oh well.
