I worked in the music industry for two years. anyway we work in teams of about 15 people, a mix of team managers, creative 1 me, and the rest. So this marketing women brief me on a project. She then starts to come over to my desk every hours to see what I have created, after the fifth hour she start to give me instruction on how to graphic design.
I say that given advise if fine, but telling someone how to do there fucking job is a anther matter very loudly. She walked away, and I smiled, and a friend behind me laughed.

got into a little disagreement with a client once.
she needed to pay the balance on the project I worked on. She never answered emails/phone calls etc. If I did get her on the phone, she'd say she was going out of town and try her when she gets back.This went on for months.
I finally decided to pull the plug on her website and took it down. I was greeted a couple days later with a phone call more like a screaming tirade about why was her site down bla bla bla. I'm like you need to pay me. Pay me my money, and I will put your site back up.
She cursed some more at me, but I got my money. She said I never have to worry about hearing from her again or any more work from her. Like I give a damn.
- Too right. I've been in that same boat. Take it down until they pay. Why give them work that is unpaid?MSL

Had a pushy NY bitch on the phone. She kept calling and I finally answered. Told her that I was busy and I would call her back.
She said, "No, I need you to take care of this now. I don't have time to wait for you to call me back". Now, first instinct is to call her a pushy cunt. But I didn't.
Reminded her that I was busy and that I would call her back...and hung up. Turns out her office was sick of her being a pushy cunt also and she was let go 2 weeks later.
- I hope you called her back right after she was let go.boobs

Its always good to fire clients that are disruptive or detrimental to your business. So much extra time and energy gets wasted on bad clients, that it often eats away at your bottom line.
I also find when I fire bad clients, something bigger and better typically comes along to fill the void in short time.
Its part of the growing process as a company or even as an individual freelancer.

I've wanted to flip out on clients so many times... same goes for vendors, well, once at a photographer and then four or five times at printers. But, then I have to remind myself that I've made my share of mistakes in the past. I think when clients really get under your skin and cross boundaries, then by all means fire them (if you're in a position to do so), and of course if you can afford it.

Does making an uncomfortable silence and a 30-second stare at them count?

I missed out on a physical rumble between a studio manager and a designer once because I was running late one morning... it was meant to be HILARIOUS
- gentleman0
actually I was once in the middle of a tense dinner out with clients as the client name dropped (unknowingly) the brother of the studio manager and called him a c*nt everyone he was 'under-endowed and an underperformer and would love to slap the mom for creating such a waste of a human being'
the studio manager got up gave the client a backhand and walked off - i swiftly drank all the drinks on the table and excused myself to get more.
came back and was left with a weeping client and proceeded to get her so so so drunk and convinced her that she got her bruises from walking into a post on the way home.
it was tense

In my mind I am constantly showering them with saliva as I explode forth with “fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, FUCK the fuck OFF!”
In my mind...

- Sadly, that’s where it all happens.

I went toe to toe nose to nose with a Project Manager once.
He approved something late night, I stayed and packaged it up and sent it out to the printer and first thing he had major changes.
He kept calling my extension every 15 minutes asking if the file was up so I finally asked him if he thought he could do it any faster.
I could hear him slam his phone down and run through the cubical maze to confront me. He kinda charged at me so I stood up ready to defend myself. He was a cock but we laughed at it after a few hours. A few months later we were both laid off.
