NÄE, USCH FÖR TEKNIKEN!

Här kommer ännu en engelsk läsövning med fler av de sanna (?) historierna som min amerikanska släkting fyllt min e-postlåda med.

De flesta av oss kan nog le lite igenkännande åt dialogerna. Ibland blir man ju generat varse att munnen pladdrat innan hjärnan var riktigt inkopplad.

Samsung Electronics 

Caller:       Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?

Operator:   I´m sorry, sir, I don´t understand who you are

                  talking about.

Caller:       On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly

                  states that I need to unplug the fax machine from

                  the wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning.

                  Now, can you give me the number for Jack?

Operator:   I think it means the telephone plug
                  on the wall.                   

Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while traveling in Europe):
"If I register my car in France and then take it to England,
do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side
of the car?"

RAC Motoring Services
Caller:       Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me
                  when I am traveling in Australia?
Operator:   Does the policy name give you a clue?



Tech Support:   OK. At the bottom left hand side of your screen,
                          can you see the `OK´ button displayed?
Customer:          Wow! How can you see my screen from there?

Caller:   I deleted a file from my PC last week and
              I just realized that I need it. So, if I turn my system clock
              back two weeks will I get my file back again?

On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds
from a phone box told a worried operator:
"I haven´t got a pen, so I´m steaming up the window to write
the number on."

Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company
in Woven.
Operator:   Woven? Are you sure?
Caller:       Yes... that´s what it says on the label: Woven in
                  Scotland.

Oj, ibland kan det toka till sig!

God tisdag!
