Hangman Game Feedback

Title:
Whether they make you wait for two seconds or two hours, they will say,
Answer:
'(Taihen) Omatase shimashita..'
 
Hints:
1. Can be heard at Banks, Offices, etc.
2. Usually spoken with a wheedling, grovelling tone that is touched with a sense of great tragedy
3. Makes you wonder if they really mean it
 
Equivalents:
1. 'Omatase!'
 
Explanation:
This is a very common phrase in business while dealing with waiting customers. The waiting period is irrelevant, only that they may add 'Taihen' if they really HAVE kept you waiting long.

Instead of "'(Taihen) Omatase shimashita..'", in Dutch we say "Sorry, heeft u even geduld alstublieft?"

The game is very helpful.
Instead of "'(Taihen) Omatase shimashita..'", in Vietnamese we say "Xin lỗi đã bắt ngài (anh/ chị) phải đợi."
