Clients From Hell

When building websites for 3rd parties, you'll eventually (actually sooner than later) run into a few clients from hell. Here's a selection from Clientsfromhell.net:

Client: Our page isn’t updated.

Me: We haven’t been given any content to update it with.

Client: We thought we’d save time and space by not sending the attachments.

Me: You’re saving time and space by not sending the content we need to update with?

Client: The emails sent faster, didn’t they!?

Basic math is so hard...

Me: Can you send me that on DVD?

Client: Well, it is 4.15 GB file so I’ll have to use two of them.

Me: DVD should hold 4.7 GB - I think one’ll be enough.

Client: Are you listening to me? It is 4.15 GB. 15 is more than 7. Idiot…

Me: Do you have specific colours you would like used in the design?

Client: Magenta.

Me: Do you have specific colours you would like us to avoid using in the design?

Client: Bright Pink.
