I've had it with these stupid customers who have those stupid questions that they ask day in day out. So to relieve the tension around here a bit Iwrote the top ten STUPID QUESTIONS answered the way I would like to answer them. Hope you get a laugh.
1. Q: SIGNS SEEM TO BE A LOT DEARER THAN WHEN I WAS SIGNWRITING, YOU DO KNOW I WAS A SIGNWRITER ? R: "No I didn't know, but you are no longer a signwriter because of how obviously cheap you charged your signs out!" IDIOT!
2. Q: YOU KNOW MY UNCLE WAS A SIGNWRITER ? R: "Really! Maybe you should go and visit him instead of bothering me!" IDIOT!
3. Q: CAN I PAY AT THE END OF THE MONTH ? R: "Sure, Iwill hand the sign over now and wait for the next 2 months for you to pay, only to hear from my neighbour you went bankrupt and skipped town with my sign that is now been used for a surfboard on your tropical island holiday !" IDIOT!
4. Q: WHY DO YOU CHARGE SO MUCH FOR YOUR SIGNS, IT'S ONLY BEEN PRINTED ON YOUR SOLJET, I COULD DO THAT IF I HAD THAT MACHINE ! R: "So whats stopping you, go and buy a Sollie and see how much that $50 sign is going to be worth after you finish paying off the 5 year loan !" IDIOT!
5. Q: CAN I STAY AND WATCH YOU DO THE SIGN, EVEN BETTER CAN I HELP YOU ? R: "That would be great, you and I working together side by side. Oh by the way it's $50 per hour for me to do the sign or $100 per hour if you help me !" IDIOT!
6. Q: OH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I NEED THE CAR SIGNWRITTEN BY TOMORROW, SEEING THAT YOU HAVE THE SOLJET YOU CAN HAVE IT DONE IN AN HOUR , CANT YOU ?" R: "Sure, no worries, give me the keys to the car and I will personally drive it through the Sollie and let it print the sign on !" IDIOT!
7. Q: CAN YOU GIVE IT TO ME A LOT CHEAPER IF I ORDER 5 OF THE SIGNS ? R: "You do the math Einstein ! I think not!" IDIOT!
8. Q: THE GUY DOWN THE ROAD CAN DO IT ABOUT $50 CHEAPER THAN YOU ! R: (I think we all know what we would like to say to this idiot! But how about this...) "Gosh, Ihad better check my pricing system that has taken me 15 years to fine tune, I must be charging too much! But then again maybe not, seeing that the idiot you're talking about is going bust due to no profit !" IDIOT!
9. Q: IF I GET MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DESIGN THE SIGN CAN I GET IT CHEAPER ? R: "Sure I will print it for you, but I'm going to have to charge more because this piece of crap is drawn in crayons and is full of spelling mistakes !" IDIOT!
10. Q: YOU SIGNWRITERS MUST BE MAKING A BUCKET LOAD OF MONEY WITH THE PRICES YOU CHARGE ? R: "Bugger! You got me there. Now on the your way out the door grab your coat of my butler, Geeves, and dont scratch the duco on my BMW ute !" IDIOT!

Greg you are to funny. I think we've all seen every type mentioned.
Today I gave a price to a local micro brewery and the guy said he paid half of my quote 5 yrs ago for the entire sign! (I'm replacing half the sign that came off in a wind storm) Well those other guys must have been working for free then. I guess we call those sign guys idiots eh!
