The Creepy Customer thread....

Since you're not familiar with 10 year old Jackie Evancho, perhaps you should give a listen before you suspect your customer of being anything other than a true admirer. Here's a link.

Her voice is so far beyond her years that many thought she was lip syncing. She was not and went on to finish second in America's Got Talent and was the top selling new recording artist of last year.

You have to admit, having 100's of pictures of a 10 year old, famous or not, is kinda creepy.

My creepy customer moment was when I was lettering a truck for a logging company after hours. This one guy was following me around in awe as I was applying vinyl...that alone was creepy enough for me. BUT then he ask me if I could cut him some vinyl for his sthow-MO-beeel helmet that said.....get this...."Porn Star."
I'm thinking, yeah I'm sure you're rocking a monsterous size wanka dude....NOT.....don't make me get my glock out you redneck.
I just smiled and sure thing pal. Then I pressed delete from my memory.
 
i don't even know how to politely 'share' this one...and the better part of me says that i should not....ughhh here we go....and i know better.

many years ago i got a call from a 'theatre' they needed signs that would hang from the ceiling that said things like 'refreshments' 'restrooms' NOTHING that gave away that this was not a 'normal' theatre.

so i walk in with my assistant, ladders, signs, tools, etc. get up on a ladder and start installing the signs and we start hearing 'unmistakeable noises from the theatre..which we could not see from the lobbby'..there was NO mistaking what kind of movie was being shown in there and it was not rated "G".

i'm up on my ladder and this guy walks out of the theatre, unzips his pants and i can't thnk of a polite word here..he didn't scratch, he didn't pee, but he relieved himself....

i legally carry a concealed handgun at all times and boy did it cross my mind. the owner came out and beat the TAR out of this guy for staining his carpet. i sent them an ENORMOUS bill and when questioned about it I told them exactly why and they paid it.

i still wish i would have charged them MUCH more and it was a VERY VERY VERY big invoice.

they called a month later asking me to do another job and i said no way, no how, please don't call again....got to love the sign biz.

Just Another Sign Guy: They say that if you dislike something in this life you will come back in your next life being what you disliked, sounds like you are coming back as a prosititute.

We've had several memorable characters...

We knew one of them only as Six Guns. That's how he introduced himself. He was a Native American(according to him) and drove a yellow Geo Tracker with metal ropes and guns adorning the OUTSIDE of the vehicle. When he parked, he pulled out a hitching post and HITCHED his Tracker to it.

We also had another that went by Sarge. He always had an earpiece in(before the time of BlueTooth) and would occasionally stop in mid sentence to "listen" intently while holding his ear at which time he annouce to us that it was "the Pentagon".
