Not Accustomed To Doing Custom

I have a business making custom curtains for residential homes. I am at my customer’s home taking an order for six pairs of curtains for her den.

Customer: “One window is an eighth of an inch shorter than the other five windows.”

Me: “That’s such a small measurement that no one will notice once the curtains are hung and tied back.”

Customer: *Insistent.* “I would know!”

I make a pair an eighth of an inch shorter than the others. My customer measures all six pairs upon delivery and is happy to find that her demand is met.

She was actually one of my easiest clients! I no longer make custom curtains. It just wasn’t worth the aggravation.
