It Would Explain Canada’s Lack Of Sun
CANADA, GEOGRAPHY, ONTARIO, PHONE COMPANY, TECHNOLOGY, TORONTO | RIGHT | SEPTEMBER 22, 2010
(I have just activated a new smart-phone for a customer. I am showing them how to set it up.)
Me: “…and that is how you would send a text message. Do you have any other questions?”
Customer: “The time is wrong on this phone.”
Me: “That’s because you haven’t selected the correct time zone. Here, I will show you the time setup.”
(I show the customer the list of time zones, and briefly leave her to answer another customer’s question.)
Customer: *impatiently* “Excuse me! Excuse me! This phone you have given me is broken!”
Me: “Broken? Why do you say that?”
Customer: “There is no ‘Canadian’ time zone! It keeps trying to put it on ‘Eastern’!”
Me: “Yes, that would be correct, it’s seven o’clock here.”
Customer: *indignantly* “We don’t live in the east! This is Canada!”
