That one homeowner who watched me pour and then tried to tell me my mix was wrong
Last spring I had a job in Oak Park where this retired engineer watched my crew the whole time. He kept walking over saying we needed more water in the mix because it looked too dry to him. I tried explaining slump and how we were going for a 4 inch drop but he wouldn't let it go. Finally told me I didn't know what I was doing and walked inside. Three days later he called asking why his patio had a small crack and I had to explain that's exactly what happens when you add too much water. Has anyone else dealt with a customer who thought they knew more than the guys with 20 years of experience?

Do you ever wonder if these guys know that the concrete doesn't care about their engineering degree? I actually had a guy try to lecture me on the curing process once, then asked why I was covering it with a tarp.
