Weirdly enough, that not all newspapers are the same company.

I work for a free weekly newspaper. We get calls frequently from people who want to subscribe or cancel subscriptions to other papers. This means they have to actively be looking in the entirely wrong place. The correct phone number for subscription services is IN those other papers or on their website.

We also get calls from people asking us to put their event or news in our paper, oh and “can you also put it in these three other papers?” (Three competitors who are entirely seperate companies).

Even weirder is people who try to request songs on the radio by calling us. We are not, in fact, a radio station…
