Had a customer in a Denver suburb who insisted I run the coax through his pet door

I was setting up a new line for his home theater system last fall, and he pointed to the little flap in his back door. He said, 'It's already a hole, right? Just feed it through there, it'll save you time.' I had to explain that a standard pet door flap would chew through the cable in about a week. He looked genuinely surprised and asked, 'But what about the cold air getting in?' What's the strangest 'shortcut' a customer has ever suggested to you?

Told him to imagine his dog chewing on live wires lol.

That Denver story is a classic, and I totally feel for you. I swear some people just see holes and think they're universal ports. Jamie_allen9 has the right idea about the dog chewing wires, but honestly the weather damage alone would be a disaster. It's wild how customers sometimes come up with these "solutions" that would actually cause way more problems than they'd ever fix.
