....into a paint DIY store and starts looking at paint colours. The the assistant says; "I'm sorry sir, I can't sell you any of those unless you have a note from your wife."
Walking on eggshell time when it comes to choosing paint colours. Where do these names come from? Grandma's Sweater....(me neither I don't even know if it means an item of clothing) Snowbonk. Stanky Bean. Turdly. Sindis Poop. Bank Butt......They are all colours. Imagine taking a note in with that written on. You would get an earful.
I am often asked if i'll accompany clients to the DIY store to help them choose wallpaper/paint. I always politely, but firmly, refuse. I only have to apply the material, they have to live with it.
