Abstract
- The article recounts stories of people in New Zealand who received items or services not intended for them due to confusion with numbers. The author tells of a cow owner who hired a butcher to put down cow number 122 but actually meant number 212. She recounts the story of a garden fertilizer delivery man who delivered and put the fertilizer on a woman's rose garden, only to find out that she did not ask for it. She also told the story of 5H being mistaken as 54 by the postman.
