How helpful!

"Uh, I need a part for one of your cameras."

"Have you a part number, sir?"

"Well, no, I need the part because I don't have one right now."

"But we need a part number before we can order it."

"This is a camera that ~you~ made.  Don't you have a part number?"

"You must understand, sir, I work for Pentax UK.  The cameras are not
manufactured here."

"You must understand, sir, I bought the freaking camera from a
retailer who obtained it from ~you~.  You are the agent for the
manufacturer.  If you don't have the part number, then how am I
supposed to get it?  Let me remind you, I don't have the part in the
first place."

"Sorry, but I really can't help you."

etc.
