Do Not Disturb !!!

[Joules]

Has anyone got any good signs I could print out, to accentuate the fact that disturbing the engineer whilst busy is a bad idea.

Something along the lines of throwing stones at a grizzly bear, etc etc

I've already said if they pay my hourly rate I will be happy to sit around and be ball boy.

I don't expect the kids to get it, but the parents might....   This is for my workshop door when I am working.  As I am just seen to be in the garden regardless of what I am carrying or writing.

 

[Joules]

Too Strong ???

[awemawson]

Piss Off I'm Busy !

or if you'd prefer subtlety how about

I say Old Chap I'd far rather Not be Disturbed

[awemawson]

Or maybe

Disturbing me may endanger life

YOURS

[Joules]

Looks like this is the most likely candidate, and if that doesn't work I will add Andrews less than subtle in blood below.

[John Stevenson]

Or a tad more direct ?

"F@#k off and haunt someone else "

[Pete W.]

Just a bit  but

I heard of someone who had a sign on their front door as follows:

Energy salesmen will be shot!

Survivors will be shot again!!

Reminds me of the story about the bloke who had a confrontation with some sort of villain.  When he phoned the police, he was told 'no-one is available'.
After a short wait he phoned again and said 'he's got a gun!'.
Within minutes, six police cars and two motorcycles arrived and the helicopter was hovering overhead.
The Officer in charge was a bit cross and said 'You said he had a gun!' to which the householder replied, all innocent like, 'You said no-one was available'.

OK, I'll get me coat!  And don't tell me not to give up my day job - I'm retired!

Thanks for reminding me I need to find an affordable way of getting our robot arms working properly, so yours can shake visitors by the hand. That'll put 'em off.

[Joules]

I'd be quite happy if the arm could just show a card with a fork on it, then spin the card and show OFF on the other side.

I'd be quite happy if the arm could just show a card with a fork on it, then spin the card and show OFF on the other side.

Of even more subtle - someone coughing...

Now that is all funny and I understand the point, sometimes I am annooyed when I get disturbed at the middle of creative process.

But a bit more polite approach might be in order?

Is there a expressive pictogram for "do not disturb"?

Is there life after death?
Come in and find out!

 

Borrowed.

There was something very similar on the Plasmaspider forum a few week back

[howsitwork?]

I prefer " your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part - . Unless bearing coffee and biscuits do not disturb!"

Here you are Joules - I saw this on PlasmaSpider and thought of your need for a sign
