Antisocial Insecurity

So today I recieve a letter in the mail informing me that I owe over $20,000 to social security in benefits that I collected that a social security judge (I don't think this is the same as being an acutal judge, let alone a doctor, the only doctors involved in the whole social security appeals process were my doctors and the reccomended I continue to recieve benefits) decided I was not entitled to. Sure, happens every day and I am sure mine is not the most tragic case. Interesting though is that the letter informing me of my indebtedness contains the following brief paragraph:

<<If you call us using a TDD machine, please pause after you type a few words. This will give us time to transfer your call to the TDD line.>>

You see the irony here, yes? TDD is the qwerty phone attachement for the deaf.
