    If you think that’s bad, we made a numbers for a house.

    Must have wrote it down wrong somehow

    We made 45 when it should have been 54

    I remember around 8 years ago a customer phoned in and ordered 20 Black arrows in cut vinyl only, but needed them in a rush.

    He arrived and as I handed him them, he said "ranting":
    "you have got to be kidding me???"

    I said:
    "what? you asked for them in Black 18 inches long?"

    He says:
    "Yes I know, but i told you specifically that they had to point right!!"

    I just turned them round in front of him. Then he started to laugh and said, OK OK how much do i owe you?
    At that point he incurred a £5 TAX for "being an ar$ehole" 😉

    Nop. It is a perfectly good question Hugh has asked…
    But how the hell did he manage to turn the room upside down?

    I once created two HONDA stickers to go on the sides of the fuel tank on a Honda quad. The guy picked them up and paid. Next day he came back in complaining that one of them was wrong. He explained "on one side of the tank the ‘H’ was next to the handlebars but on the other side the ‘A’ was next to the handlebars!"

    Your guess is as good as mine but I suspect he couldn’t read and was going by the shape only?

    I once did an A board with arrows pointing off to the same side on both sides of the board.

    When the irate customer phoned up to complain the arrows were pointing the wrong way I managed to keep a straight face as I told to him to try turning the board around.

    True story that.

    Makes you wonder though how some people get through life :rollseyes:

    I posted that I’d had the same on here a few years back. Oooh, there was a whole thread on here that got rather ‘animated’.
