I'm with you.
Most water heaters are insulated to the point where the outside of the shell is not usually very warm.

i live in a cold climate, i never take the print to within .3 - .4" of the edge of the material, the vinyl shrinkage pulls the edge up and they fall off. leave this much magnet bare and you will never have this problem again. basically every magnet gets a .3-.4" outline around the outside in my designs!

I think the joke was that it's just called a water heater. Not a hot water heater. It's like saying ATM machine.

Actually, you might be suprised to know that ATM stands for "Any Time Money" so the use of ATM Machine is correct...because it's an Any Time Money Machine.

Actually, you'd might be surprised to know that ATM stands for "Automated Teller Machine" as defined by every dictionary website on the front page of Google right now.
"Ass-to-mouth" also comes up but "Any Time Money" is nowhere to be seen...

I guess that means Tuna Fish is wrong, too. Ha, or how 'bout Free Gift ??
Who cares how it's said, you know what it is. While a Hot Water Heater is generally used when referring to a device used in the house to warm or heat up the water from a tap or a shower, the Water Heater, is normally used as a device which warms/heats some water, but not to a specified temperature. A water Heater could create steam or boil water, while a Hot Water Heater is set not to do that for natural reasons.

You have cold water lines, and hot water lines...and the heater is for the "hot water" line..so it's the "hot water" heater.

FAKE POST ALERT
The water heater is to heat the cold water into hot, with your anti-logic it should be called a cold water heater...

THANK YOU! Looks like someone doesn't realize all the hot water lines in their house come from their water heater, and ONE water line runs in to it.

Not mine. I have a summer/winter hookup. No Hot Water Heater or Water Heater in the house, unless you consider the dish washer one, cause that heats the water up to about 145º and it doesn't have a hot water line in it.

I think my comments are being taken too seriously...

I had to take it seriously because it wasn't funny so I had to assume it was serious...

I disagree, someone who went to school for carpentry or metal fabrication is just as likely to make that magnet mistake as the guy who's learned on his own. They are going to be more capable with fabrication, no question about it, but I've hired staff who had trade backgrounds and were very good at their craft but were completely inept in the production room. My point is regardless of of training background, general "hands-on" aptitude and natural inclination, there is a learning curve in the industry. The industry is so varied in solutions we are asked to provide. The guys who are in years 1-5 in running a sign shop see new requests they haven't had before all the time. Even with the advancement of technology and new products coming out all the time, experienced shops are seeing new things regularly as well. I'm not going to pretend I have answers for every question a customer comes in with but it is not unreasonable for someone to expect vehicle grade magnet to stick to vehicles. As we know from experience, there are limitations but the new owner hasn't experienced those yet.
