I Rang Directory Enquiries...
A miserable Scottish call-centre donkey answered.

'Name?' she asked.

'Um, IChewCandlewax.' I said.

'Address?'

'1 Bengal road...'

At this point sheer the number of collapsing red-faced office colleagues alerted me to my error. Too embarrassed to own up to the phone-donkey, I sheepishly continued to try find out my own home phone number. Then I hung up.

My boss called me a Spazz and threw a used teabag at me.

you are not alone
I did this the first time I ever rang them as well. Then I ended up working for them. And lots of other people do exactly the same thing.
