Have you seen the Seinfeld episode where Kramer got a new phone number and it was 555-FILK, but movie phone was 555-FILM?
We also have been dealing with a deadbeat having had our number before we did. The calls started the first day we got the phone and the phone company offered to change it, but we were moving in from out of state and had been building the house, so we'd have to call dozens of people. And honestly, we thought it would go away after a while. (Apparently, the previous number holder had just given up the number a few weeks earlier, not the minimum 6 months or whatever. Phone company screw up.)
FOUR YEARS LATER, we are still getting bill collectors and long-lost relatives looking for Sergio. The guy still lives in my town, but his number is unlisted.
