Back when I was the engineer at a small machine shop....

A customer had submitted prints to us for a ROM bid, we had given him the bid, and he had accepted.
He was fine-tuning the prints so that we could give him the final $ amount and get started.
He called and asked what the tap drill size was for a 000-120.
I told him I didn't think it was in my best interest to give him that info.  [laugh]

I hand tapped 6 of those, granted the hole was drilled on our CNC, but it was a bit stressful.  :P

Well, I did give him the info, and we did get a final cut at the bid.  [laugh]
