I finally snapped at a customer who tried to tell me how to run cable

Last Wednesday in Denver, I was running a 150 foot drop through a finished basement and the homeowner kept following me around saying I should go through the wall cavity instead of along the joist. I stopped, handed him my drill, and said go for it. He stared at me for 10 seconds then went back upstairs. Has anyone else had a customer try to micromanage a simple install?

Call @jessem59 out on making it sound way deeper than it needs to be, lol. Its just a wall cavity, not a secret bunker or anything. Honestly some people act like every little DIY detail is a big deal, but its really not that serious.
