In the '70's I worked in a camera shop.
When customers told us their film contained shots that were interesting, personal, private, nude, glamour etc. we would pop it in the processing envelope and give the customer their claim tag. Once out of the shop we would put it in another envelope and order 2 sets of prints instead of one. Then when our envelope came back we would take one set and put it in the original envelope and add our set to our collection. We had well over 500 pics.

One day though we got two envelopes mixed up and a customer came back and complained that the glamour pics in his envelope weren't the nude shots of his wife that he had taken!!!! The person who had got the nude shots of his wife never returned to complain.

We got a description of his wife and asked him to come back in a couple of days. We gave him '"our" copies of the prints and a free film to compensate for the loss of the negatives.

You can only wonder what the customer who got the wrong nudes thought!!
