Here's one that actually happened to me.  For 22 years I worked for a 
national distributor of professional photographic equipment.  I was the 
Service Manager.  To prevent unauthorized merchandise returns we would 
always tell people returning items for repair to mark the box "Attn: 
Service Dept" conspicuously, so that we would know it was a repair and 
we would not refuse it.  One day I got called out to the Receiving Dept 
and was asked whether or not they should refuse a package.

Sure enough, someone had sent a repair in a box addressed to us; but 
instead of "Attn: Service Dept" they had put the word "conspicuously" on 
the box - several times!
