[mod.telecom] Yellow Pages

> I'm looking for examples of really irritating Yellow Pages categorizations.

The Toronto Yellow pages (published by Tele-Direct) does not list Handymen
(or Handypersons) under any conceivable category.  Nor was the Yellow Pages
Shopper's Aid number (which offers assistance in the use of the Yellow Pages)
able to help me.

Looking for a shop that specializes in fine fountain pens, I found that Pens
is listed only in the Business Directory, not Consumers.  The stores I wanted
were lumped in with companies that print promotional slogans on pens for
advertising.

And prostitutes are listed under Escort Services.
