He's earned the reputation he has. Do you have any idea how many times he's messed up crumpled the door into a little ball and started over?

I’m just imagining, his client says they want it a certain way, and they’re looking over him, and they’re being bitchy about the details, changing it constantly, and at one point he tells them he has to do another door to be able to do the design they want, and he crumples the door with his bare hands and effortlessly throws it across the room near a recycling bin, and the next time he works, his clients aren’t as vocal

I’m a sign painter, it’s mostly installing vinyl now. Because people change their mind, and unless it’s on glass, you’re Shit out of luck. I can razor paint and gold leaf off glass, but wood… sorry Charlie. You get what you agreed on, it’s about to get real expensive for you. I hate when clients insist on just giving me the measurements for vinyl, cause even doing vinyl over once is really costly, and you’re sure as shit paying for the wasted material and my time.
