I'm Always Wondering

The skies were blue, there was no wind, and the temperature was heading to the 60's, as I finished my coffee on the Dock. But here is what I thought about today.

A few weeks back, I contracted with a local glass shop to have a shower door built. The design included clear glass, one fixed panel, with a door next to it. The was to be a metal frame to provide extra strength. The top of that frame was to be 75 inches, enough to allow 6'2" person to pass through.

A few weeks later, the installer came. I left him alone to do his job while I tended to other matters. When I returned, he was nearly finished and was standing inside the shower. Like me, he was about 5'8" tall. His head and shoulders were above the top frame of the as he looked over it at me. He seemed surprised when I told him, "Now that won't work. Take it out." He asked what was the problem, and I asked him to come outside to my vantage. He squatted nearly to his knees to get under and through the door opening. Once outside the shower with me, I asked whether he then knew the problem. And he said he thought it was an odd design, but surmised it was designed for a person in a wheelchair. Must have been a handicapped type that never has a assistant though, I thought to myself. When I showed him the design drawings that had a 75" top height instead of the 57" tall door that he had installed, he agreed that he should have inquired with me before waisting his time installing it.

Am I weird or do you wonder like me sometimes?
