Ages ago I worked for a German company who developed electronic parts. They had a large Finnish client. I worked on porting an OS for use in a mobile phone. We went to Finland to integrate and make sure everything worked. We ran tests and debugged. This took 3 days and we were done .. the company wanted me to stay for a whole week because they didn't bother to change the flight. I managed to convince them that it was not in their best interest to make my angry and stay at a hotel for the remainder of the week with nothing to do.
