Butterfly effect :D

A couple of week's ago Sylvain was working late and called and said, "I'm not sure when I'll finish.. Don't make supper .. I 'll bring home a pizza".

When he finally gets here.. he's a little upset. He wanted a large pizza because they had a promotion on them (something like 99 cents more than a medium) and that would leave plenty for cold pizza the next morning... and a snack later.

He's says: "They made me a medium. But I didn't want to wait around for another 25 minutes.. so I took it."

He opens the pizza box and it's pepperoni and cheese. Of course, this is good, but he wanted all-dressed.

Now, we've both eaten a couple of slices and there is just a little left over when the phone rings.

It's the pizza place. "Hey! ... aren't you going to come and pick up your pizza that you ordered? .. we want to close shop and are waiting on you!"

"Come and pick up my pizza? I already came and got it; it was the wrong size and the not even the way I asked for it."

---

Fast Forward to yesterday.

He tells me .. "Guess what?.. Remember that pizza I went to pick up and the order was wrong?"

"yeah, sure.. what about it? "

"Well, what I didn't mention to you when it happened was that I asked my client to dial for me ... and he handed me the phone." I ordered one large, all dressed pizza.. that I would pick up on my way"

then he says:

My client stopped by to see me today and told me the Pizza Place called him and asked why we hadn't picked up the pizza. He told the guy, "heck if I know.. I just dialed the number."

Turns out .. instead of dialing ***-4111 he dialed ***-1111 which turned out to be a completely different pizza place.

so because of this one number.

We didn't get the kind or size of pizza we ordered.

Obviously some poor guy went to pick up his 'medium pepperoni and cheese pizza' and it wasn't there so they had to make up another one ... and he had to wait another 25 minutes for it.

The other pizza place stayed open late waiting for the customer that never came!

and

Sylvain's client got a snarky phone call from the pizza place.

Isn't it funny to see how one little finger on the wrong button.. changed so many things in one evening for so many people.
