This is a thread for the best "I told you so" moment at work.
You don't have to have actually said the words, knowing it works just as well.
In my case it was a lighting display planogram.
It showed all the lamps I had to build neatly lined up.
The planogram didn't look right to me but the picture showed everything fitting.
So I built the lamps and started putting them up.
I got a quarter of the way through and went, nope this isn't going to turn out right.
Looked at the picture a little more closely and you could see the seams where they had chopped pieces together.
They never actually set up the display just photoshopped it together.
The Plano TL was new and when I told him did the, "Well you just have to make it work." lecture.
I was off for the next two days and when I came back, he had tried to set it up.
Looked great up till the end where there were six lamps all tied together in a bunch, looking like a bouquet of lamps.
I didn't say a word, just waited for ETL to ask WTF was going on so I could explain.
We pulled six of the cheapest lamps in case you were wondering how we fixed it.
