Slip-ups of our clients
We wish to emphasise - before reading this subheading - that our aim was to entertain our customers when compiling the following.
We believe that everybody enjoys a bit of relaxation after a lot of work, this is why we would like to share the jolly situations with you, which arise as a consequence of tiny misunderstandings during our activities.
Naturally we know that to err is human, and we are no exception either. (see: subheading 'Chatter during work')
We trust that no one will take offence at our good intention to encourage a smile.

2. There are also funny situations when people get in touch with us...
We have collected the following from written orders and telephone conversations:
- I want to order 4 prism TV sets. (Do you mean plasma TV sets?)
- Rental fee includes: 1 patient technician.
- We would like to order from you a 180 X 180 projector for three days. (And what size should the screen be?)
- Good afternoon. I would like to hire a protector. (We could do with one as well!)
- We would like to rent the usual projector.
- Which one is that?
- The big one with the little dots. (That is the LED wall.)
- I'd like to ask you if you have a price offer?
- What sort of price offer?
- Well, a sort of basic...
- But what would you like to get a price offer for?
- Well, I'm not quite certain what you deal with...
3. The most difficult thing is to evaluate the excuses concerning settling the bill...
Some of our customers were prevented from transferring the money by some extraordinary events, which they informed us of after many weeks' delay:
- The boss is abroad.
- There was a bomb scare in the bank.
- They make money transfers by modem, and they moved and the phone company still hasn't relocated their phone line.
- The bank transferred the money back.
- They handed in the transfer authority to the bank but they just lost it there.
- The lady in charge has suffered an accident, and she can only go to the bank with the help of pain killers.
