Me... punch me please.
Because... I have NO CLUE how to deal w/clients that 'think' they're helping you by doing bits of work in Illustrator or Photoshop and then forwarding you a file AS IF it's any use to you...
Same client also decided to create their OWN MOBILE WEBSITE w/out telling me using some online application / host other than their main one. They then send me a SCREEN CAP of this script that must be copied / pasted to EVERY FUCKING WEBPAGE on the existing site in order for the redirect to work (the site is over 50 pages and is in Wordpress ).
If I could just come up w/a way of saying 'Thank you... but what you did was a complete fucking waste of time and actually will set me back if I have to work around this shit...'
HOW DO YOU SAY THAT W/OUT BEING / COMING OFF AN ASSHOLE???
Someone please punch me a big fat wadded-up knucker clear across the confused moronic look on my face as I'm FUCKING CLUELESS ON HOW TO DEAL w/shit like this.
Last time (and this happens a lot) that I spoke up and said 'thanks but this may make things harder...'... THEY YELLED AT ME!! "I'M FUCKING HELPING YOU, KEVIN!!"
... lol... NO GODDAMNT... NOOOOOOooooooo... just tell me what you need done and back the FUCK OFF AND LET ME DO MY JEEERB!! :(
Punch me.

- Happens a lot more recently. A clients' recent 'marketing' guy tried to do the design on a recent project whilst I ended up doing the marketing.monoboy
- People just want to make stuff. Sadly, none of them can. Be brutal. Set boundaries. You're the one that spent X years and X dollars training.monoboy
- The most effect way to deal with this is to point out the inefficiency and lost billable time. Always bill the extra time. https://pbs.twimg.co…monoboy
