Oh my God. I won the Gaia lottery (matched 3 for 1114 gold), and I totally reported the winning notification as a scam! In my defense, they sent them from the wrong account. What do you expect me to do when I get a PM from a naked noob with default hair and eyes telling me to "click to claim my prize?" rofl

You think that's bad... apparently at work today I was informed that there was a misprint in our current ad. This happens all the time, of course, so why is this particular time 'special'?
It wasn't a mistake on a sale price or two products who had their pictures switched, no. This time, apparently the phone number to our gift card information line had a few of the numbers mixed up. Where did this new phone number lead to?
Two words. Phone sex.
I s**t you not!  Apparently reports have been coming in from some very disgruntled customers about how they were trying to check their card balance only to reach a sleazy phone sex operator instead.  What's more amusing is that the ads run Sunday through Saturday, and it wasn't until Thursday night that someone caught it... let alone the ads are planned out and printed up almost FOUR months in advance!
Seriously, someone has to have done it on purpose.

Heh heh... even worse. It's the number to the gift card hotline... for the entire Metro Detroit and surrounding areas portion of the corporation. I'm not sure if it spread further, but I know they usually bundle up a few relatively close store locations into one ad, so we weren't the only one's 'hit'.
As to the number, I think it's something like the last 4 digits got rearranged and that makes the 'new' number. Like dialing a wrong number, only it was printed as such. Heh...

I know it's not really the same thing, but Xani's story reminded me of my old phone number.
It was literally only two numbers off from a towing company, and a number of their ads were printed with the wrong number (i.e. with my home phone number) instead of the actual number for the towing company.
For years we seriously got phone calls for TBT Towing, and after a while we started pretending to be the towing company if people called and were very rude before we got a chance to say it was the wrong number.
One night this guy called and as soon as we answered the phone he started yelling about how pissed he was that his car was towed because he was on a date and blahblahblah and we told him that we couldn't find it in our impound and he started freeeeaking out because we lost his car and he wanted to speak to our supervisor, and the phone got passed to my older sister who pretended to be the supervisor and blahblahblah we led him on for a while but when he started to threaten to hang up on us we were like "Sorry, sir. You had the wrong number all along." and gave him the actual number for the towing company.
It was like some sort of backwards prank calling. In hindsight it was a pretty mean trick to pull, but I was like 14 so I guess I can write it off as one of those craaaazy things I did in my youth.

What the?! That's hilarious reddy! XDD I've never heard of that happening! Makes me wish I were there. Or you should have taped it and put it on ytmnd, youtube or something. XD But then again I don't think those websites were up when you were 14 were they? oh well.
Xan: What is this some kind of practical joke with the ad agency? haha

that phone sex story is awesome.
someone at my work had a wrong number for a doctor's office she was trying to call, and got phone sex instead, which amused me, but it was just one person, not the entire metro detroit area. of course, this was the most fluster-prone sweet middle-aged lady in the office calling the sex line, but still.

Yeah, it's probably a good thing that didn't happen to me. Sir, put your date on the line. He's kind of a loser isn't he. Yeah, can't park his car for s**t and now he can't get it out of impound. Now, I'm not a particularly preachy man and what others do is their business, but maybe it's time you started to think about life choices.

Looks like bother the Masquerade eyeshadow and mascara, the teal Chuu eyes, and... it looks like one of the many bleeding eyes item poses that Gaia has... though I can't figure out which one. 
Still, that's some damn good layering, there.
