Warning: that one customer who 'knows a guy' still haunts me
Guy walks in last month, points at my face frame miters and goes 'my buddy in Tampa does those in 20 minutes with a biscuit joiner, takes me half a day with dominos and shims'. He left after 10 minutes of me biting my tongue, but I swear I can still hear his voice every time I clamp up. Anyone else have a customer who's never built a drawer but runs their mouth like a pro?

Oh man, I feel this in my bones. Had a guy last spring tell me my dovetails were sloppy because his brother in law "knocks those out with a router jig in half the time." The same brother in law, mind you, who has never once sold a piece of furniture in his life. I just nodded and kept sanding while he explained my whole trade to me in my own shop. The worst part is his voice pops into my head every single time I'm setting up a cut now.
