Why you should never ask an engineer how big your pantry is…

It was an innocent request, honest. I just wondered what the measurements of my pantry were. I had asked my husband a few times and he kept forgetting so before I headed off to bed I shot him a quick email because I knew he’d be working on his computer later and see it.

  1. That’s funny. I love it and probably would have done the same thing if I had someone ask me. (Guilty, I’m an engineer.)

    But tell him he’s missing a dimension – there’s no overall height shown.
    (ok, it would have to be a reference dimension, but does he really expect you to do that math?)

    Thanks again for sharing. LYB
