If you don't give me any guidance about how you want me to do captions, and I spend a day coming up with a style, then when I show you it you miraculously produce a style that you had in mind it makes me want to kill you.
In addition to this if you send me your logo and it is wrong and the colours are wrong, how is this my fault.

The only reason I still come here is so I can witness the moment when you finally run amuck and go postal...

I fucking hate it, I almost said to my clients
"were you keeping these ideas back just so you could have input and change things did you keep it back deliberatly to look good in the meeting?"
Sometimes it actually feels like it people deliberatly holding back info so they can appear in control or justify their jobs either way it is rediculous.

It never ceases to amaze me that my clients can make it all the way into work in the morning, grab a coffee and turn on their computer all without seriously harming themselves...

Mine phone me to say that they are on their way into the office, they're on the train. Just thought they'd phone to say that. And then the line goes fuzzy, and after a while they say, well I can't hear you here, its too noisy/bad reception so I'll ring you when I get into the office.
Why not just ring me when you're ready to do a bit of work, I don't need updates on your fucking travel plans.

Also I hate it when people are told things or just make stuff up in their head and don't ask professionals how it works, then when they are told how it can't be done they go nuts and try to blame you, just ask us at the start we will tell you communication is the key.
I was doing a heavily complicated DVD a month ago and the guy sent me in the elements I was working away fine then he came in and says go to this website and do it exactly like the website, I explained it was a DVD not an interactive website using flash so I cannot do all the things you see on the site he was furious, and couldn't understand it, I even suggested we start again and do a CD rom thingy as it was the only way, fucking prick.- aks if they want a hygiene menu - that'll shit them.mistermik

I love being my own client.

This is exactly the kind of shit I have to deal with too. One day I'm just gonna tell the client what I think of them. That they are unreasonable bastards and to take their mother ucking boring crap business elsewhere.

just had a client ask - 'why are you ringing me - I have already spoken to you this month'
told him the line was breaking up and could he repeat - he went mental. haha

When I had a studio with another bloke I was doing these record sleeves where we'd shot a bunch of glamour models and I was using them to create illustrations from. It was really complicated because I had to draw these fiddly meticulous linearts in Illustrator then use them as a way of exposing and darkening in Photoshop to make a crude photographic image out of three layers of linework. Each still image took me two or three days to produce and it was a hit and miss affair.
I got into work one morning and my partner was looking very pleased with himself. "got some good news for you" he said, "I've just had the band's manager on the phone. He loves your illustration style so much he has asked the label to pay for it to be animated as their debut video. We've got until next Friday... we're doing the video !!! High Five!!!!".
I did not high five.
- hahahaha!
"I did not high five."
hahahahaha!ian - haha - that image you made - we'd like 9000 please, just the same as that.mikotondria3

I just shot them down with my thought guns the now. Things like this really annoy me!! one other thing that really annoyed me was, last weekend my pal was over from france he had a bout six pals with him so we had a party at my house, I let them smoke I saw one guy smoking away in the center of my living room his fag ash was huge almost an inch and a half long, so I picked up the ash tray and walked over to him with it and said here you go an ash tray he said thanks I didn't know if you had any, so I said why did you light up then what were you going to do with the ash?, he said well I don't know, my girlfriend told me to go get a drink.

oh chossmeister people are fools and you are a king for being able to deal with them. even tho you feel bad for not telling them they are fools it is of course you who are bigger for being able to hold this back. I on the other hand have a face that tells people they are fools even if i don't say the words, so unless i wear a paper bag on my head i offend people :'(
should i carry a bag with me at all times or get botox?
