Thread: Gotta love this
Me: "I'm sorry, I do not speak binary."
Customer: "???????"
Customer: "i ned cloths plz m8"
Me: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
Customer: "I NED CLTHS PLZ M8" (aparently writing in all caps helps..)
Me: "I bid you a jolly good day, and welcome to ignore."
other one:
Customer: "i need clothes can u make plz"
Me: "Sorry, I do not do custom orders" (I mainly make subcomponents, aprons and items like that)
Customer: "plz m8 i need clothes i pay"
Me: "Well, IF I was taking orders I most sertaily would apretiate that my customers did pay. But I'm not making clothes"
Customer: "but u r tailor why u not make clothes i need clothes plz m8"
Me: "Sorry, I don't speak binary"
Customer: "wut u mean can u make me clothes only take 5 mins"
(at this point I was wondering if to ignore or help this fellow out)
Me: "Well, do you know what you want?"
Customer: "something cool"
(The choice became very easy..)
Me: "I see. Sorry I dont have time to waste 30 minutes on something I would only earn a few credits on. I have better things to do. You might be better off finding another tailor. Good bye."
Customer: "plz m8 i need clothes"
*ignore*
I hate people that say "plz" instead of "please" and "m8" instead of "my friend/mate".

Time for me to relate the tale of what happened last night.
First some background -- I'm currently on Naboo, doing emperor's retreat missions soas to get my schematic from Veers. My Tailor's template in no way shape or form involves combat (I don't even have novice marksman/brawler).
So i'm recovering after getting my hat handed to me by a rebel trooper he may have gotten me but my trusty combat R3 got him -- and I get a tell from a certain induhvidual. Let's refer to him as Idiot1. The conversation went a little something like this.
Idiot1: Shield.
Me: I'm sorry? Was that a mistell?
Idiot1: Need shield.
Me (looking at my broken PSG): I'm sorry i don't have any shields for sale. Perhaps you can find an armorsmith with a vendor on the map? I'd reccomend someone but he's not online at the moment, and based out of Lok.
Idiot1: J00 tailor, make shield.
Me: I'm sorry, but armorsmiths make shields, not tailor.
Idiot1: u lie -- u doing BLEEP for shield shcematic -- make me one or i'll have bounty you.
Me (remembering that you don't even get the Imperial shield schematic from the retreat): I'm sorry, but I cannot help you, and I don't take well to threats. Please calm down.
Idiot1: I kill j00 BLEEPbag. ur mother BLEEPs goats and i BLEEP her and ur sister good last nit.
Now keep in mind that I usually try to keep my cool, but aparently this fellow thinks that my family enjoys keeping relations with goats, and his generaly bad demeanor have rather rattled me at this time. My droid being ganked by a pack of damn dirty NabooMonkeys(tm) and running frantically from them as he was talking to me didn't help my mood. Not trusting myself to reply to him in a manner that would not earn me a three day ban and involve commenting on his enjoying carousing in certain fluids formerly belonging to a goat, I just /reported and /addignored him and went on my way after cloning in Constellation (a player city near the retreat) when the monkeys caught up to and ate me.
About 25 minutes later I had just finished with Thrawns missions and started my first veers mission, when a gentleman (let's call him Idiot2) wearing full composite and a "Master Rifleman" tag with a full set of buffs walks up. Now even at about 11:30ish easern time the retreat is a fairly busy place so i didn't take much notice untill I got the system message "Idiot2 Has Challenged You To A Duel". The following conversation resulted...
Me: I'm sorry, but I don't feel the need to duel people that i don't stand a snowballs chance in heck of beating 
Idiot2: Friend told me you said him and all his friends BLEEP goats.
Me: I assure you, I said nothing of the sort. Might I ask who has been spreading rumours about me?
Idiot2: Idiot1 did, now d00l me BLEEPer
Me: I assure you sir, I never said anything of the sort, in fact he made the same accusations directed at my mother and nonexistant sister. I'd ask you to please leave me alone.
Idiot2: Little BLEEP dul me now you BLEEP motherBLEEPing BLEEP face. I'll tear off your BLEEP and shove it down your throat BLEEPhead.
At this point, I calmly play my /addignore and /report game again.
Moral of this story -- apparently idiots enjoy sharing partners with goats
Sorry for the rant and long post
Edit: Fixed the conversation, for some reason they blended into one line

Customer: Hi, can you make me a CH outfit?
Me: CH as in what?
Customer: Creature handler (I knew that was coming!)
Me: Yes, I know. I meant what do you mean by CH outfit?
Customer: Taming and Maskscent bonuses.
Me: Ah. Well, the sunguard you just bought gives you the maximum taming bonus. For maskscent, you'll need two pieces of clothing to get the maximum +25.
Customer: Okay. Can you make a double robe and boots with maskscent?
Me: Unfortunately, no. Footwear can't have BE bonuses, and robes can't have maskscent bonuses.
*Insert many lines of me essentially listing EVERY item that can have RF bonuses.*
Eventually he settled on a pair of black Camos and black Spec-Ops duster with Mask bonuses, and a non-BE dark blue t-shirt.
Customer: Will that look cool?
Me: Well, my idea of cool is bright colors, especially purple. So I'm probably not the best person to ask. However, it seems to be a popular look, so others will probably think so.
After all of that, we finished up the sale, he left happy, I ended up with a nice paycheck for my time, and he promised to send others my way.
It seems patience with the uninformed pays off, as long as they're not rude. But listing out every item and what bonuses it can have gets old fast.

That's what macros are for
Actually, that's what keeping a web link to a BE/Tailor catalog handy is for.
One of these days I'll write it into my notepad so I can just copy/paste it to anyone who's looking for info.

Stick the link in a macro, along with your spiel
