Analog film photography and cameras

Asked the guy if he could cut the negatives by hand because the exposures wouldn't be regularly spaced -
'Yeah no problem, we have to do that sometimes'
Go in and collect, and the sods have cut them halfway through the exposures. I ask about it and he says
'Cut by hand? No they just go through the machine. They get cut before they get printed. There's no way to cut by hand, we never have done'.

This is the kinda thing which would have me on the limit of reigning in "the rage". Good experiment and nice pics though, so worth it.
