This might be one for Ray but how do you politely/professionally explain to customers, who are otherwise perfectly intelligent adults, that adopting the gait of someone who's shat themselves whilst on their tippy toes in no way influences their bodyweight or grants them the Jesus like ability to walk on water?

I had one, I came back the morning after, someone had walked right across the floor and back, you could see where each step had been made,she said id left it it like that
id put straight edges and levels at the too of the stairs (it was a cellar kitchen) with a big sign, it had been taken away.
After a few choice words, i came to the conclusion that as it was a old house " "it must be the ******* ghost then love"
Which she didnt take to well, grabbed my arm marched me upstairs telling me her husband is on his way home to sort me out.
I waited for a while, for the husband, he never came, he had obviously seen my 5.8 frame and my little hands and thought better of it i politely knocked on the door, asked for my tools and never went back .

"Is this lippage acceptable? I queried the tiler about it and he walked out of the job and won't answer my calls"...
