Well i've never wrote a blog before so what the hell, here I go.   I'm assuming this is like my own say what I want and if you don't like it tough?  j/k i usually try and keep the peace in all my dealings. 

I'm assuming there are many of you out there that deal with customers on a 1 on 1 basis or at least close.  My reason for bringing this up is that lately i'm getting so fed up with some of the dumbasses that i do work for that i damn near walked out the other day.  I should at least explain what a sheet metal fabricator does first.  You know how Rick on American Chopper will make  a gas tank for those bikes from scratch or if they can't find or buy a part that they need they will make it?  Well that's what I do except I don't usually get to make anything as cool as that. 

I get "customer made" blueprints and have to decipher their handwriting and what they are trying to make and then set about making their drawing come to life.  Sounds cool huh, and it probably would be except joe blow off the street doesn't have a effin clue about fabrication, which is fine with me,  but what pissed me off the other day was this guy got in my face when i told him we didn't have the right equipment to make what he wanted. 

I'm ranting but my whole point behind this blog was to ask.................  Am i the only who has 90% dumbass customer rate?

Lol, I'm in law enforcement so my "dumbass customer rate" hovers in the mid-high 90's. Heh.

I work for a school system fixing computers and managing a network of 16 schools....I'd say we're in 90's as well. :)
