TWo WEEKS AGO:
The phone rings:
- Erik.
- Hello, I'm calling from [mumble] I wonder if it is alright if we send you an invoice?
- What?
- Is it okay if we send you an invoice? It seems you haven't paid for a purchase and we now have that debt.
- No, it is not okay. What have i bought?
- Well, we can't see that in the computer. But you havent paied.
- [Laughing] Well, I think not then. Nice try!
- Well, in that case we will leave this to [An agency that gets sure you pay and you will have a hard time getting credit and stuff after that].
- Come on! How much is it about?
- $21.
- Well, I will pay if you can send me somthing that shows that I have bought something?
- I' see what I can do.
TWO DAYS LATER
A letter and a copy with my signature on it recieved in the mail. It seems I have ordered something but not fetched it at the post office. The $21 is the cost of the return of the package plus a small fine. Now, the ball was mine. Pay up. I serached the package on internet. Not found, - too old. Two year limit on tracing packages online. Calling the postal service. Okay that package was delivered but not fetched. Strange. I asked for a paper showing that order.
TWO DAYS LATER
An order recieved in the mail. Aha, the package was sent to the wrong adress! I never got it. Back on phone with the comany which liked to send me an invoice:
- Well, the package was sent to the wrong adress.
- Was the adress correct on your signed order.
- Yes.
- Nivermind then, we'll drop this then.
Now I wonder if I can bill this company for two hours time of my life?
