That homeowner in Phoenix who watched me cut seams for 45 minutes

Had a job last month in a 4,000 square foot house in Ahwatukee. The owner stood two feet behind me the whole time I was seaming the broadloom. He kept saying "are you sure that line will hold" every five minutes. I finally stopped, turned around, and handed him the seam roller. Told him he could do it if he didn't trust me. He backed off after that. Anyone else deal with customers who hover like that?

Yeah, that's rough... Some people just don't get that we've done this a thousand times. They think watching makes them an expert or something.

@max_ross nailed it. Some folks just don't get that hovering doesn't make the seam any stronger. Handing him the roller was a power move, I respect that.
