post grad medical student comes in the other day, smart guy, little goofy but ok otherwise.
wants one shirt printed he has the shirt in hand and needs it in 6 days.
The usual answer is go bag your ass we do not print one shirt.
shows me the art pretty simple abstract piece of crap so I say what the hell, $40.00 told him I will cut it in vinyl slap it on. He pops for the $40.00, leaves the shirt.
Sent the art to a vector guy for $15.00 , fast $25.00 for my pocket for a quick heat press on his tank top.
WRONG, turns into a two color with one little spot in a second tiny spot of red, OK no biggie..... WRONG now the second color has to be placed exactly to "get the effect" he wants. I know heat press vinyl shrinks moves etc but should be no problem just a little spot of red.
I get the art back and he picks it apart move this line , bend that line, blaw blaw blaw.....
Politely argues with me that art doesn't look like the art he gave me, there is no smoke coming off the cigarette and there is no ash hanging off the cigarette end.
I show him the art he gave me, I think it looks like the vector BUT he goes to his tablet and holy cow I see he has at least 15 versions of the art on his tablet and he gave me the wrong one, asks me if I can change it...... tough darts pal will cost you another $40.00 to back up pony up!.
At this point I catch on that he is some kind of poster child for the anal retentive foundation of ass clowns. I end up screen printing his shirt white on black shirt with a tiny spot of red GPS located and placed with in .0000004 of an inch of the precise location he described.
When he sees the finished shirt goes out of his F#$@&^G mind happy I thought he was going to cry. Then he shows me the ANOTHER design he wants and promises to come back with another shirt when he gets back from vacation to go over the details. I will default to my standard answer ...... go bag your ass we do not print one shirt ESPECIALLY FOR YOU.
