I Have a Funny Story to Share
Had a bit of a mix-up at work. Got a call from the vendor quoting A part. "I know you guys are pushing the limit but we've really got to no-quote this job. The biggest dimension on the part is 0.8 millimeters and the thickness was .008 millimeters", he gasped! "How on earth does he expect us to hold those dimensions and tolerances!!"
I brought up the print and quickly realized the error and told them I'd get them a new print as the designer was gone for the weekend. After I hung up I dissolved into uncontrollable laughter. In stead of using the inch format he had used the millimeter format.
Then I put a sprinkle of pepper in to zip lock bag and stapled it to the print and put it on the designers desks with the note:
"YOUR PARTS ARE IN"
