I was thinking along these lines.
I've never had any experience of any administrative cock-up, and don't quite understand how things can go so wrong for other people.


I also realise that I've just jinxed myself, and will probably get home this evening to find my house replaced by a zoo.

Fuck me
I get nothing but.

To the point where I'm scared to go to a petrol station in case they charge me for the pump behind mine.

I do have an extrememly common name though, which may explain some of it.

Indeed, my mothers' wages were paid into an account of a girl that I used to work with with the same name.
You'd think that something like a unique account number would eradicate errors like that wouldn't you?

It does only seem to be large organisations though - smaller firms seem to get it right more often than not.

without wanting to sound smugger than usual
I very rarely have the problems that seem to plague most

I've been having a few issues with my virgin tv recently, and have had to phone them a few times and get engineers out a couple of times.

Every call I've made has gone straight through to an operator, who, while indian, has been understandable and helpful. The engineers have been booked for within the next few days each time, at a time that suited me and they have been prompt.

on top of that, they have fixed the problem completely.

don't know what people complain about....

I think its to do with the first letter of your last name
i have always been at the beginning of the alphabet (B or C) and don't get trouble but a friend is always having problems and she is at the end W.
