11. There's more like him out there

When I worked for a law firm as a paralegal, I had a client who formed a new corporation. I sent the documents to the state capital to be filed with the Corporations Division. They sent the documents back with a corporate filing number that contained three sixes in a row within the number. The client flipped -- demanded that I get the number changed. The number is not actually used on any other document and wouldn't be seen by the general public for any reason. However, at the client's request, I called the state, explained the problem (as well as I could without laughing) and asked if we could re-file, eliminate the original filing number, get a new one and yet still keep the original filing date. To my utter surprise, they agreed and the transaction was amended. My time was billed by the hour so the client paid for this transaction.
