"You could make one for yourself."
I love it when people say this. I'm thinking in my head..."Yay! Then all your buddies can come to me for free stuff too!"

That I know of...doing things for free has never brought me anything but more people looking for a hand out. If I do it for free, it's going to be because I want to support the cause, and I'm not looking to get anything out of it. Cause then they just keep wanting more and more for free.

The worse ones seem to be the weekend race car guys. They want free work, I mean a sponsor, so we could advertise and sponsor a bunch more of them. The last guy got so mad he said he was going to get a plotter and start doing signs too! I haven't slept good since.

Had one yesterday again. Can you give me a quote on a sign we want. Ok sure I say can you tell me how big and what you want. They say don't know. I ask if they have some specs or an art file. They have nothing no idea. So I try to give a quote for a generic I have no idea sign

AHEM....GAME OVER, YOU ALL LOSE.

Me, to a customer who has been in several times: "I've got to ask, where do I know you from?"

Customer, rolling her eyes as her business partner walks out the door snickering:
"Do you watch a lot of adult videos?"


Wish she would have given me a link or a name or something. Maybe somebody here might recognize her....she's blonde and she's hot and she's got a couple of enhancements.

Well, I had one I was going to post that just happened a few minutes ago, but it will sound like crap after yours, Pat................ :notworthy:


Now, my next question is this....... do you have to watch enough porn to go blind or will you recognize her by the time you only need glasses ?? :covereyes:

There's something about people looking for free plaques that just irritate me.
I always imagine at the award ceremony - "As a token of our great appreciation for all your accomplishments, here's something that cost nothing and required no effort on our part."

Lady comes in wanting a small banner with a copyrighted logo on it. I tell her that we don't reproduce copyrighted images. I ask if she can find a substitute image? She comes back with the same image but with the copyright mark removed.......that makes it legal.

I'm not even kidding... a shady guy just came in and asked where he should go to pull a permit. I gave him a little vague info and he was like, "man, I gotta go through all that to put some letters up?!" I said, "yeah, that's why we get paid the big bucks to do it." So, I get to talking to him a little more and I guess he thinks he's a sign guy, cuz he starts telling me how he cut out letters from that stuff (PVC) and the landlord wouldn't allow it. I said, "wow, that's harsh, dude! Whelp, good luck with that."
