"No, we don't. I'm sorry but you must have been at the wrong house"
"YES YOU DO!"
Wow. That's... that's just wow. o_O Delivery services are definitely the other side of this problem. We live in an apartment complex with two buildings, and have several times had to go through a lot of trouble (including leaving one building and going over to the other to retrieve our food) with delivery folks who call us to say they've arrived and, despite our warnings about the buildings, can't quite figure out which is the one. It's not that hard - there's a giant "TWO" written on one of them - but people just don't get it, even when you make a big deal of it on the phone.
At least most of the delivery people in our area do have cellphones and do call if they get lost or something.
Cabbies... I don't know, it's like it just doesn't occur to them.
