I've had issues in the past with engineers. I even tried to schedule a "cross-training day" so they could see what happens outside of their computer simulators. They wouldn't go for it. I used to work at a place where we designed/manufactured office furniture. Sounds simple...it is simple. Unless you're an engineer. We used to have to go into the office and argue with them about Physical Impossibilities. My favorite reply from any of them was, in the most condescending voice possible, " Well, it works just fine in the computer's bend simulator". FUCK the simulator. So that's about when you grab a cattle prod and force them onto the shop floor and make them stand there while you attempt to bend a piece of sheet metal. It took MONTHS to get them to understand that the computer sims didn't take into account that the machine that's bending the parts is a solid object, and that the material you are bending can't magically pass through it. We had one pencil head that wanted to work for NASA soooo bad. All he was supposed to be

I love the idea of a cattle prod... Need to get one of those.

One of the funniest things we ever seen an engineer do was build a cart for an imaging station - it looked very impressive although a little large. Jim asked him whether it would fit through the door. You have never seent eh colour drain from someones face as quickly.....
