Klantenservice: Technische dienst, goedemorgen. Hoe kan ik u helpen?

Klant: (Een jongedame, klinkt zeer vriendelijk) Hallo, sinds mijn vriend met de computer heeft gespeeld, vraagt deze bij het opstarten om command.com.

Klant: (Klinkt teleurgesteld en een beetje boos op haar vriend) Dat is jammer. Nou, hij mag voorlopig niet meer met mijn pc spelen, maar… (lacht) met de rest mag hij wel spelen.

Klantenservice: (Glimlacht) We zullen ons best doen om uw pc snel te repareren. Bedankt voor het bellen.
