The dead machine had one red button pressed

Customer said the machine was completely dead and production had been down long enough to justify an urgent callout. The emergency stop was pressed. I released it, watched the machine start immediately, then spent longer writing the service report than fixing the fault. There is no polite way to invoice for this, so I just did.
