Call the Apple Store and Get Bill and Melinda Gates

Posted by pudge on from the dontcha-think dept.

oosid writes "The area code in Seattle is (206). Right across Lake Washington in Bellevue the area code is (425). If you're trying to reach the new Apple Store in Bellevue from Seattle, don't forget to dial the area code or you'll find yourself talking to the reception desk at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The 7 digit number, coincidentally, is the same for both places. If you make the mistake I'm sure that the Foundation will be able to suggest some solutions to all of your Apple problems."

    Just because it's funded by Bill G doesn't mean that the people working there deserve to get a phone call from you inquiring about Apple products.

    I remember hearing recently that about 470k votes didn't get counted for American Idol because if you dialed a number wrong your phone would ring up some poor little church. Watch those phone numbers people.

    When Apple's support # used to be 1-800-SOS-APPL, People would frequentlu mis-dial using a zero instead of the letter O in the SOS part.. This would lead to being connected to "The nations hotest gay male phone sex" I know because my mom made this mistake once when her Performa wouldnt boot once.
