Okay the client came in with their choice of paper and they didnt want to change their mind about the choice!
Right after he left I ripped up the proof and started yelling obscenities.
Example of what I said: "His wife wants fucking craft paper. He thinks she has style. She is sewing flannel pillows for her kids."
Right after I flipped out he walks into the office and said my mistake she didnt mean you have to use those colors. She wanted your suggestion on what colors to use for the paper.
Im still stuck with the crappy paper!
Whats funny is I almost was caught!!

when Charles S Anderson was a young designer applying for a job at Fallon, he showed progressive comps of how the orgiinal design idea got watered down further and further over a period of months until all that was left was the cover which, when he went to a press check, he discovered had also been discarded. The interviewer yelled, "This is SHIT!", picked up the completed piece and threw it across the room, breaking its spine on the wall, scattering pages everywhere., "and you willl NEVER have to do this if you work for us."

Hey D,
You need a trip to Deschutes Brewery after work. Calm down, it's only kraft paper. At least they didn't ask you to print it on chip board or newsprint.

I had a meeting this afternoon regarding some government design work. As the reviewers introduced themselves one guy said "I'm Rob, no one in my department thinks I know anything so they sent me here... they thought I'd learn..." I presented a website concept and I'm sure half the people reviewing it couldn't even turn on a computer... Ahhh....

I got caught doing that once.
I was working retail at a kick ass video store when DVD was JUST beging to become popular. Around the time GoodFellas and Seven were released on the two-sided-pain-in-the-ass-flip-d... We were just getting ready to put the resale DVD's on the shelf for the first time ever, and this asshole comes in asking to browse the resale DVD's. Well, I explained that they were still in a box in the basement getting priced. He was getting testy, really not wanting to come back in 30 minutes, or god forbid, BROWSE THE FUCKING STORE.
I told him to hold on a sec while I went to get a list of what we had in the back, and I said to my manager "There's some fucking prick out front who doesn't want to wait for the DVD's to be stuck on the shelf to browse them." From behind me I hear "Excuse me?!?" The dude stormed out.Fucking prick.
