Backgrounded But Not Grounded

I work in the data-entry department for a background screening company. Basically, you fill out an application with one of our clients, it gets sent to us, and we make sure everything on it is accurate. We search for criminal history and such, as well — a complete background history.

When entering applications, we have to enter items exactly as they are on the application.

Two of my favorites:

“Deploma” or some other misspelling of the word from someone with a Masters Degree.

A guy stated he made 2.7 million dollars a year as a crane operator.
