• Why is it?

    Why is it that when you cut extra it’s never needed but when you only cut whats needed the customer comes back for more.
    Why is it that when your laying out a long length of app tape that a previously non-existant tears appears and the app tape tears diagonally across the lettering

    or why is it that when a customer comes in off the street and wants a small sign urgently, and will pay any price, he wants it in the only shade of blue you don’t have 😮

    Why is it when you do someone a favour it more often than not backfires on you, and ends up costing you three times as much 😕 Or why is it that you always book a job outside on the one day of the week that its so cold, it could freeze the nads from a gnat! 😮

    And why is it that you work out a job will take 4 hours and 6 hours later you’re still doing it? Oh, just me then? :lol1:

    Or why is it that the job that is the furthest from your workshop is the job that you have a problem with.

    or why is it that the client you expect to be a problem isn’t, and the client that you think will be the easiest to deal with, isn’t 😥

    Why is it you were going to say something intelligent on this board but cant remember what it was.

    Why is it you buy something in the high street and walk down 4 shops to find it cheaper.

    Why is it we cant find anything better to do on these boards than ask Why is it.

    Why is it that the bit of spare board stuck in the corner is just 10mm short of what the customer requires (so you’re gunna have to cut into a whole sheet)

    Why is it that when the wife asks if she ‘looks alright in this dress’, the answer you give will be opposite to what she wants to hear?

    In the land down under Nik, we are a poor lot. When someone offers an avatar space for a picture 214 px wide, we use a picture 214 px wide 😮

    That and the fact I want to show off my new uniform, well shirt anyway. Problem is everyone calls me a canary now, and it is not because of my whistle 🙄

    It was my wifes way of proving that I am always on the phone. This photo was actually taken at 9pm the other night, when a client rang to ask a favour 😮 The wife went nuts!!

    Now she reckons it is much worse. Complains now that I am either on the phone or on UKSB’s 😥

    Worse thing is, I can’t argue with it cause it is true 😳
