“Hello. I’m earth. Have we met?”

I bought a new camera a few days ago. I ordered it online and had it shipped to my parents house. Went all out, getting this big package deal with several lenses, bags, cords…you name it, I ordered it. The package was delivered and a lense was missing. The most important one. I wasn’t happy. So as I was searching through the box, my father called the company to report it. Here’s how the conversation went:

Dad: “Yes, we recieved the package and the 50mm lens is missing.”

Salesman: “It’s missing? What do you mean it’s missing?”

Dad: “It didn’t come in the box.”

Salesman: “Really? Did you check the box?”

Dad: (After a roll of the eyes and a pause) “Yes.”

Salesman: “Well, check again, because it should be there.”

Dad: “I know it should be there. Hence, why we’re calling.”

Salesman: “Did you check the small box with the cords in it?”

Dad: “Yes, and it’s not there. It wouldn’t fit in that box, anyway.”

Salesman: “Oh. Are you sure it’s not in the big box? It’s usually covered with that white popcorn stuff so nothing happens to it.”

Dad: “We took everything out of the box and it’s not there. And by the way, there was no popcorn stuff.”

Salesman: “Oh, that’s weird. Did you check inside the camera body?”

Dad: “What?”

Salesman: “Check inside the camera body. It could be there.”

My Dad relays this message to me. I look at him like he has three heads.

Dad to Salesman: “No, it’s not in the camera body.”

How, on God’s green earth, would a lens fit inside a camera body???

And this guy works for a company that sells professional cameras. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!

All I can say is: Wow!
