If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

LHF that was great. Of course by the time we're old the telephone will be long gone. We'll end up yelling at the person on the hologram about how they don't look like the dancer on the commercial, then demand to speak to a supervisor when we're POSITIVE we dialed 1-900 and not 1-800, all the while threatening that we better not be getting charges run up against our account... oops 
*nods*
I agree completely.
Just out of curiousity what exactly was that number to your workplace again? I'm only asking so I can make sure my own grandmother never calls you accidently. Technically she's not Canadian but it sounds to me like the absolute last thing you need at this point is yet another old codger calling you up who isn't even Canadian to begin with. So just to be safe PM me that number and I'll save you the headache.

Actually...
There's a pizza place somewhere in Alberta or somethign that has a 1800 number similar to ours as well, so we get the odd call from their customers as well, but they're very, very rare.
But those people are alright, they at least pay attention to my phone greeting and realize right away they misdialed. I have no problem with that. It's the stubborn old goats who want to argue with me, as though by simply insisting that they're right that they can somehow alter reality.
Huh... that description is oddly reminiscent of 19-year old boys, as well, now that I think about it.

Except more of the elderly people than teen-aged boys woud probably have a valid physiological reason for not hearing you clearly. Plus, when there's money involved, especially if it's the only income, I think people are already so on-edge that it doesn't take much to push them over. Mess with my rent or food money and I'll have my cranky pants on, too.

I feel your pain.
My home phone number is one digit off from the local taxi company. So, not only are we constanly getting wrong numbers calling to argue with us as to why we REFUSE to send them a cab, they tend to call at around 2 am (when the bars close) and drunk...
yeah...
Goodbye, City of Heroes...I'll miss you.
On Justice as @Amperrie (well, for a little while longer...)
Wait. What if an old person calls up and wonders where his pension pizza is?

A strong argument can be made that the huge amount of hormones running around a 19 year old male's brain like their pants are on fire is in fact a valid physiological reason. One recent study has likened the hormonal influx during the teenage years to cocaine addiction.

What the hell is it with old people?!
Do they think that because they're old they have a [censored] license to be rude or something?!
At work we have a 1-800 number that's literally one digit off from the old-age pension division of Human Resources Canada. So, at the middle/end of every month we get these old, [censored] codgers calling up (usually women, I'm not sure why) wanting to talk about their pension.
I always answer the phone the same way... "Flight Operations, [last name]" and what happens... ? "Yah, I recieved a letter in the mail, I haven't gotten my pension cheque... bla-bla"
WHAT PART OF "FLIGHT OPERATIONS" INDICATES TO YOU THAT I HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH YOUR [censored] PENSION?! [u]LISTEN WITH YOUR [/i]EARS!!!![/i][u]
Then, as if that's not enough, once I make it clear to them, usually by having to say it five times that this is TRANSPORT CANADA, and not HUMAN RESOURCES CANADA (it's not even the same number of syllables for [censored] sake!!!), they then proceed to argue with me about what phone number they dialed!
If I'm lucky, they'll just hang up. No goodbye... nope, no "oops, sorry about that", nope. Just "Oh- *click*" as if it's my fault, as if somehow I've inconvenienced them.
That's if I'm lucky...
If I'm not lucky I then have to have a 15-minute conversation with some 70-year old French-Canadian woman who sounds very much like she was rode hard and put away wet about how it's MY fault that she misdialed and answer a survey about what number SHE dialed, what number she was supposed to dial, what MY phone number is and who the hell I am.
I had one old [censored] actually ask for my supervisor because he thought I was giving him the run-around. So convinced was he in his own infallibility that it never occured to him that he dialed the WRONG [censored] NUMBER!
I swear to dog, I'm going to surround myself with honest people and if I ever get to that point where I'm a rude, self-entitled old jerk that they'll just put a bullet in my head and bury me in a shallow grave somewhere, as befitting people who are [censored].
