So guess what happens when your phone number is the town gas station's old fax number. Normally you get a few calls a week from a fax machine trying to fax and an occasional person. When 300,000 people (mostly in your surrounding area) have no power and need a gas station and the 411 computer gives them your home number as the gas station's phone number, you get about 50 calls in one day. I am thinking about changing our answering machine "This is not Irving but as of 12/12 at 8pm they were open and pumping gas".

YUCK!! We had that when we first moved and it was all hours of the day and night. Literally. I finally had to have the number changed since nothing helped. Sucked but at least I was able to get a full night sleep.
OUCH! :( Best of luck with that!!!

oh that stinks!!!!!! Red Lobster once did an entire TV commercial campaign with my parents 800 number on it! Freakin' calls at all hours from angry shell-fish lovin' folks who would take 'no this isn't Red Lobster for an answer.
And to make it worse, we had to pay for ALL the calls!!!! (and no free lobsters).
