24. My stepdad has that surname.
He hates it when someone mentions that to him. "The republicans have shit all over everything as long as I can remember. Why'd they have to shit on my name as well?"

43. Cable companies, phone companies, banks, insurance companies.
And I've worked customer service at all but phone companies. Some people will call you just waiting to get pissed off at you.
