This homeowner in Des Moines asked me to put a gate in his fence but leave the latch off
He was standing right there in his yard, holding a coffee mug, and said 'Just let it swing free, I don't want to mess with a latch.' I told him it would slam in the wind and damage the post over time. He just shrugged and said 'I'll deal with it later.' Finished the job last Tuesday and I'm still thinking about it... how do you handle a client who wants something you know is a bad idea?

Honestly, that "I'll deal with it later" attitude is everywhere now.

Tell me about it. My to-do list is basically just a pile of stuff for future me to handle.

Ugh same. I have a stack of mail from like three weeks ago I keep moving from the counter to the table. And my car desperately needs an oil change, but I just keep adding miles and telling myself next week. Future me is gonna be so mad at present me.
