Company uses my phone number on their receipts, so I decided to become that company to get revenge.

Here's what happened. Subscribe to Am I the jerk on YouTube and hit the bell for notifications.

Quite some time ago, my girlfriend and I, now wife of more than 15 years,

moved in together and had to set up all the things, cable, internet, phone, etc.

We got our home phone number, our two cell phones, and were off to the races.

Almost immediately, we started in calls for an establishment that does custom framing

and other various art-related things. Let's call them expo for art. Of course,

we had caller ID and we had friends that would call us, but inevitably, if we didn't recognize

the number, it was someone wanting to find out if their order was complete, or their frame was done,

of what their hours were, or any of a thousand other questions.

I'm sure anyone else who has had this happen would recognize the exchange.

Sorry, that's no longer their number, this is residence. Yes, I'm sure. No, I'm not giving you

my address. No, I don't know their new number. Yes, I have a phone book, but so do you.

Eventually, after a thousand of these and changing the message on our answering machine to say,

this is not, I repeat, not expo for art. If you're trying to reach expo for art, please hang up,

look up their number, and try that, because we aren't them. Eventually, I got my gazillionth

call and I asked the person on the other end of the line where they kept getting this number.

Well, it's printed on my receipt. I guess I'll just call this other number.

Any chance you can give me that one? Thanks. I call it.

Hello, expo for art. You guys are still giving out my home phone number on your receipts.

Yes, so? Well, stop it. It's been at least a year since you haven't had that number,

at least cross it out or something. That's such a pain. I'm not making any of my employees do that.
