And then there are the dozens of customers who wanted a two sided sign with an arrow pointing to one side. They never understand why one side is laid out pointing left and the second side pointing right until they get the sign.

Ha! That so reminds me of a customer who called complaining their sandwich board was wrong. Well, mistakes happen so I went to take a look - "see, the arrows are pointing towards the road, not my business!" - the look on their face when I picked it up and turned it around...

window lettering and a BANNER? High class woman there.
I hope she bargains for a "Ride All Day" stamp at the county fair, rather than paying for each ride separately.

We have a guy that calls the police on us every couple of months for not producing his business cards. He has been in a number of times to talk abou business cards but never orders.

He:
Doesn't have a job or business
Doesn't have a car
Sits in front of our place once a month and talks to himself all day
