A buyer's nightmare
------
'Please sign here.' said the driver from the DITY-Store, handing Catarina an invoice and a pen. Then he carried the heavier boxes to the lift, leaving the lighter ones for Catarina. Soon Catarina's hall was filled. Several days of stepping over boxes passed before she opened them and discovered that several essential parts were missing. I'll just call Customer Service, she thought to herself; the number was on the invoice.
A recorded voice said: The number you have reached is no longer in service'. At the bottom of the paper with her signature were the words: 'Buyer agrees to terms of sale by signing this invoice. All sales final'.
------Wordcount according to WordCalc: 100

Best wishes,
