I still can't stand getting a call from "George Jones" or "John Smith."

The latest outsourcing:  debt collectors.

I have the misfortune of having the same name as someone up to his eyeballs in debt and sloppily delinquent about paying his bills.  Over the last few years I go through spates of phone calls from so-called lawyers' offices and their investigators.  I've even had so-called self-proclaimed bounty hunters show up at the door to repossess cars I have never owned.

Guess where the calls come from now?  Just guess.  Come on.  You can do it . . .

WOW. interesting. Yeah, that does happen. I had a neighbor who had the same name as a teacher who died. She went to the office to renew her teaching certificate and someone told her, "You can't renew it, you're dead."
