Standard AAA batteries vs Telkom part 2

It's a about a couple of months down the line, and after going to Telkom last week we were lucky enough to actually get batteries. Unfortunately for the rest of the people who ordered, despite the more than 40 people who was on the waiting list, Telkom in their infinite wisdom decided to order just 3 packs; so 6 batteries in total.

Save me jebus.

Standard AAA batteries vs Telkom

Somehow the AAA batteries that Telkom uses in their cordless phones are a different size from normal standard AAA batteries. And yet they say it's standard AAA's.

Then why are they smaller than every other AAA on this planet?

We're now waiting for 3 weeks for the non-standard standard AAA batteries from them. You would think such a big company could afford to have more than one Chinese childlabourer on their payroll to make the bloody things.

I hope whoever decided on that non-standard standard battery size gets circumsized by a troop of rabid circus midgets.
