Sh*t! Cable guy makes my cable too flippin' short!

 It has been several days, and I am still pinching myself! I just got the cable back from the cable shop in Sydney and the damned thing is about 34cm too short! No, I kid you not!  I gave him photos, wrote instructions and included the original cable marked where it had to be cut, and what did he do? He makes it 34cm too short! It wasn't a Friday, because this cable turned up Thursday, so I can't sat it was because he was thinking of partying because he has reached the end of the week.

I even took photos and showed them to my wife and asked her if the photos with the instructions made sense and she said it was very clear, so WTF happened? 

I sent him a message and said I think I have the wrong cable as it is way too short, but he said it was the right cable and made to my specifications, which is BS because why would I tell him to make a cable 34cm too short? It is SO bad, I would be better off working with the one that was far too long.

Anyway, he said bring it back and he will check it. So, off we toddle to the post office once more. 

Here was the photo I sent him

This is what he made me. See that little bit of cable near the tape measure base? That is where he cut it to instead of cutting it at the black tape marker as in above photo.
