customers funny questions?

[CJ CERAMICS]

in your experiences i am sure that you have all had some funny questions asked by your customers, so i thought it might be good to try and see what they are.

having just spent the day grouting and cleaning a consevatory floor for a lady who watched me all day from the kitchen table, she then asked me "when will it be ok for me to walk on it"????????:smilewinkgrin:

Hi CJ,
I went to look at ajob the other day. The description i was given was "kitchen walls need tiling half height all way round...area clean ready to tile."
to start with, when i got there i had to be careful to avoid the cat trays dotted around the kitchen, the fridge and freezer randomly positioned away from the walls, and wallpaper all round. " Are you stripping the paper off or do you want me to price that in as well?" i asked. "OH, Cant we just tile over it?!!!!" came the reply.

a few years ago I was skimming out a house and asked the customer where I could get water, customer asked "what do you need water for?"....."err, it helps to mix it with the plaster to stick to the walls" was my reply:smilewinkgrin:

Funny questions , but if you are not a builder you can not know that they are.

customer today rang wanting some advice on tiles and I quote
"I've been to the tile shop and the tiles are gunmetal gray but they look black on their website, if I buy them off the website will they be black or grey"
Followed by
"I'm looking at another tile, hang on, I can't read my writing but the code number is 1234567 is that a solid tile or a mesh backed tile?"
bonkers
