Reminds me of the time I paid a guy at the bodyshop to make a sheet metal monolith and drop it off in the desert.
Kinda reminds me of something that happened to a friend of mine. He worked for a tool and die shop. The owner paid him to repaint the building exterior one weekend. I drove by and stopped in to say hi while he was working.
I said “Why are you painting it pink Dave?”
He said “it’s not pink, it’s tan.”
“Nope. it’s pink.”
The paint store mis-tinted the paint for a guy who was color blind.
