Words you don't want to hear.

This baby cradle was sitting on the floor of the closet and I think someone stepped on it. Can you fix it please.

“Those Freud saw blades of yours don’t hold up to nails very well…What junk!”

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Yeah, I was thinking of, “I think someone stepped on it.”

I’ve gotten the, “It just broke,” about a chair my brother brought over. It looked like it just broke after he backed over it with his truck.

there was a cute commercial on TV this past spring about stains that miraculously appeared on carpets and couches.. I had to laugh every time I saw it—nobody knew how the stains got there!! Well, maybe the dog did because I think he got “blamed” for some of them. Shame on that dog for spilling his glass of wine! :)

I could fill the stomach acid build with Tom’s comment.

Non-woodworking but nonetheless aurally repugnant:
We can’t turn your rotors any thinner, you’ll need new ones (Don’t ya just love the brake job racket).

Another one, “We can do that, but it’s gonna cost ya.”

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

From your spouse looking over your shoulder (after hours of labor):

“Is this supposed to look like that?”

<sigh>...

After you have finished the project they say “The cabinet is 34 1/8” wide ?? I said I needed it 38 1/4” wide !!”

When submitting a bid or quote that you have chopped down to making a little below minimum wage on you hear….”Your kidding, Right?” In the tone that says way to high priced for me.

“Can I borrow your (insert expensive power tool)? I never used one, but it looks pretty simple.”

Of course, you KNOW what my answer is!

Oh yeah, my wife will come down to the shop and say, “Are you going to sand that?”
