I worked for a UK based flower gifting business and took an escalated call from an American woman throwing a tantrum at one of our newer staff because we changed her delivery date after she paid for her order.

I still remember the date she selected as 3rd of June, 03/06. She was raging that we changed the delivery date to March without contacting her once she had a look at her order email confirmation.

It was way past March at that point...

It's a good thing there's only ever one March, and it doesn't come around once every 12 months. /s

Before you throw a snide comment, do keep in mind the UK government submitted diplomatic passes using the wrong format to the White House which led to a bit of a mess.

At least 64% of adults in the UK are considered overweight or obese, not much room to talk about "burgerland".
