A good longtime custumer calls me up Wednesday last week. Tells me he needs some parts made ASAP, due Friday, Thursday night for me essentially. I was going on a sharkfishing tournament in Dana Point Saturday and needed to get the boat ready Friday.
I was concerned there wasn't enough time to do the parts.
I go over there, he hands me a sketch, ahhhh....no problem, small part, 50 peices, easy job.
I get the material Thursday morning get working on it rightaway.
I drop the parts off first thing in the morning on the way to Dana point.
He calls Monday and says his custumer didn't like the parts, says they were too tall, I said, "Well how tall did he want them?"
3/8.
"The parts ARE 3/8 tall"
..............................
"Oh......yea.....they are supposed to be 3/8 tall aren't they. Let me get back to you."
Well I just got off the phone with him, apparently the ENGINEER wanted them "2/8" TALL. The story goes, the guy who made the sketch thought 2/8 didn't make any sense, so he made it 3/8.
Nice,
Sometimes I get irritated being pushed to do something, just to throw it in the trash. This is one of those times.
I hope they admire double billing.
