'Dr. Newintown called and begged him to stop': Family man's landline inundated with misdials from a local business, so he books 100s of fake appointments to force the company to change numbers

A local doctor tried to use a family man's landline as an unpaid reception desk. Despite realizing that their phone numbers were only one digit apart, he didn't care much that the father-of-three was receiving calls for his business and refused to budge. As it turns out, he should have heeded the warnings of the dad, who was now inadvertently fielding a ton of their company's incoming calls and creating the most chaotic, fake schedule possible. 

Say goodbye to your early-out Fridays, because you'll be having 10 customer walk-ins just before you're about to clock out.
