    Tony asked, about 8 hours ago

    Are you outraged?

    @Plods why?

    OK, I’m confused….

    Pete is outraged because the price is more than he expected… but that’s because he was looking at the phone number, not the estimate…. am I getting this right?

     

    A (U.S.) phone number is 10 digits… but the first three are the area code.

    OK, say it was local, so the mechanic only wrote 7 digits…. and we’ll say Pete saw the last two numbers as after the decimal point.

    Most prefixes don’t start with a “1” but let’s even give him that….

     

    So the mechanic scribbled “123-4567”… low for a phone number… and Pete read that as the price….

    He’d be expecting a bill of $12,345 and it was MORE than that?

    Whoa!

     

    More likely a phone number would start higher… 543-2100 would be $54,321.00.

    What do these guys charge per hour???

    The lesson here is, don’t make fun of your father.

    My dad did something similar, and I laughed all the way home

    This is either a repeat of an earlier one or the same punch line was used in another strip.

    The phone number would probably be less.

    The lesson is actually a good one. When you’re upset about the bill or the service, don’t go in yelling and swearing. Go in and state your case, calmly and matter of factly. In this case Dad was wrong but his son saw how well he handled it and face was saved by all involved.
