If that were an Apple run company, they would have added 10% for questioning its validity.

Ugh sorry all I have is a million bazillion billion zingaroo dollars. Its like a bad joke. I would have just thrown my phone out the window.

"caused 12 zeros to be added"
"€11,721,000,000,000,000. "
so 11,721,000,000,000,000 - 000 000 000 000 = €11 721
see the mistake?
it's still more than 11 thousand
"which was merely 117,21 euro"

17. neutralguy posted on 11 Oct 2012, 10:41 2

true that! 11,721 euro is so damn high. Maybe, it's around 11.721 euro for a phone fee or 117.21 euro :D

28. Nachoz posted on 11 Oct 2012, 15:12

It is common to use the comma instead of a period for the decimal point in Europe, so 17,02 Euros is 17.02 Euros as we would write it in the US.

31. denied911 (banned) posted on 11 Oct 2012, 17:01 1

I'm from europe
and i think instead 12 it should be 14 zeros writen
never mind ...

Thank god it was a mistake. I thought she downloaded the entire internet.

19. aahmed215 posted on 11 Oct 2012, 11:09 2

"which was merely 117,21 euro. A lot more bearable."

WHAT?!! That's still ridicolous for a phone bill. You can buy a house with that money.

21. Cabessius posted on 11 Oct 2012, 12:41 2

Probably a doll house.

33. aahmed215 posted on 12 Oct 2012, 06:19

I just noticed it's 117.21 Euros. Those commas instead of periods confuse me sometimes.

24. inertiatic posted on 11 Oct 2012, 13:11

In some places I believe a comma is used instead of a decimal so it's really just over 117 euros, not 11 thousand.

25. ilia1986 posted on 11 Oct 2012, 13:50

Damn.. that would have solved Europe's financial problems for at least 1000 years.. Too bad.

26. ambrown posted on 11 Oct 2012, 14:32

LOL! Seriously I bet she called in and the service people were all, "no ma'am, that's your bill and you have to pay it."

Even someone with a basic understanding of economics would have pointed out that that bill was far more than the sum total of all the world's nations GDPs combined.

29. jamaladam posted on 11 Oct 2012, 15:43

She could have saved the world economy a couple hundred times over and still would have a ton of money left over.

I wish my job made a "printing error" on my next paycheck and had that deposited to my account.
