Measuring amongst other things!

Someone please explain why?a) you measure the available space for a model railway, then construct the baseboard only to find that it's two inches (5cm to the unknowing) longer than the space available.b) you measure your longest loco and make suitable allowance in the headshunt of your run round facility only to find after laying the track that the loco is too long for the headshunt.c) you have six pints in the local and chat up the really gorgeous barmaid, only to find the next time you go for a pint that she's got hairy armpits and smokes & farts like a bloke - not to mention looking like a bloke too.d) the wife asks you how she looks after spending two hours getting ready for the meal you're taking her for on your anniversary, you say fine, so she breaks down in tears and say you didn't even look at her.Any thoughts or other examples?John.

You're not wrong, even though my home is less than two years old, it doesn't quite meet the 90º criteria or straight walls, although the floors are fairly level! :-)
