#53I once changed my mobile phone number so the last 8 digits were 69696969. I thought this was hilarious. Then I found out that people have randomly scrawled that number on every toilet cubicle "For a good time call XYZ69696969" and I would get calls all the way through the night, every night.

#59I used to have an email similar to ps@qs.com, and would get a fair amount of email suggesting people would use that as their made up email. In a similar vein I’d like to apologise to knobs@bobs.com for the amount of captive portal spam you receive on my behalf
