After complaining to Comcast about their customer service, LaChania Govan of Chicago received her August bill addressed to “Bitch Dog.” Comcast identified the pranksters, fired them, and apologized to Govan. In a similar turn of events, Peoples Energy customer Jefferoy Barnes mysteriously began receiving bills addressed to a curious variation of his name. Form the Associated Press:
“I had no bad words at all. I guess the earliest letter is dated in May and from then on up until now my name has been listed as Jeffery Scrotum Bag Barnes and I have no idea why.”
Barnes said he received an apologetic call from a company official. He also has contacted an attorney to determine if he can take legal action.

UPDATE:BB reader Stephen Berg points out that two diners at Parkhill’s Waterfront Grill on the New Jersey shore were recently given a bill with a description on the bottom written by the waitstaff to identify their table. It said: “Jew Couple.” Link to AP report, Link to NY Post’s more recent coverage (reg. required)
