Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

I get this, too.I am often addressed, by cold callers, as my wife, or my mother (or, in one case, my wife's deceased grandmother).
Sometimes, they'll apologise, sometimes they'll carry on addressing me as a woman, long after I've corrected them.
The most memorable was the nice lady at the clinic, calling to confirm the date for my vasectomy: assumed I was my wife, apologised when corrected, then kept asking "are you sure you're him?" as we went on.
Does wonders for my self esteem.
