I do customer support for books.
Okay, the image this gave me is hysterical:
Caller: "I can't open the book! The cover is stuck!!!"
Spidra: "Okay, sir, you're looking at the spine of the book. Flip it over, and then open the front cover."
Caller: "But the cover is stuck!!!"
You laugh, Tep, but in my bookstore-slave years, I had any number of customers try to return books because they were upside-down. Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.

You're supposed to say, "A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!"
The bookstore complaint that I loved was when a customer returned a book, complaining that I didn't tell him that a book was missing 16 pages. Like I was supposed to make sure that every book we had in the store was bound correctly?
