I rarely use voice mail but when I obey the phone and try to call voicemail, for some reason it goes straight to the person first on my list, who's name is Adam. I'm sure he must view my explanantion with scepticism.

Us A's have got a lot more paranoid since voicemail was invented!
Bastards (usually in shops) who insist on calling me 'dear'. It makes me feel like 5 or 95. Either way it's bloody patronising.

On a similar note, customers who refer to me as "the little girl". Co-workers have been known to do it too. 
Have you tried punching them?
My boss 'Adam' played me a message I left him in one of those 'first name on the list' moments.
I was me and my mates at 2 in the morning screeching at a taxi driver to stop at a kebab shop. Very embaressing!
The answer is to avoid alcohol - as I tell myself after posting late at night on Facebook ( not to mention the embarrassing texts and emails)

What you need is one of these mate: http://www.livingmadeeasy.org.uk/kitchen%20and%20household/manual-handheld-tin-openers-p/culinare-safety-can-opener-0029082-2277-information.htm
It neatly opens the tin halfway down the sealing-rim, thus leaving no sharp edge on either the lid or the tin..
I've used one for years now.
IMO they ought to ban all the other types.
