Real story. I edited it to make it quicker to read. And translated from french.
[C= client / M= me]
{..} are the toughts in my head////////////////////
C- can you print this picture. Normal dimensions.
M- {WTF is "normal dimensions?!} on a Letter format, 8,5"x11" ?
C- yes.Same day, same client.
C- Can you print this flyer so it fits into a pay envelope
M- {WTF is a pay envelope?!} Whats a pay envelope?
C- I looked on the web, a pay envelope dimensions is 4,125 x 9,5
M- Ok. So I will reduce the flyer to 4x5,75 so it fits your envelopes.
C- Perfect! Can you print an example first and send me a picture by email?
M- :-| ... ok
[i send a picture]
C- Uh!? I dont get it! The flyers looks like before! I said I wanted em to fit in a pay envelop!
M- {...WTF} The flyer is 4x5,75 like i said before
C- The flyer fits in a pay envelop?
M-{GEEZZUS CHRIST! WHAT THE FUCK} You told me your envelops are 4,125x9,5 and the flyer is 4x5,75. So. yes it fits.
C- Ok.. but i dont have the flyer in my hands... You know what a pay envelop looks like? I just want to make sure it fits in. When we look at your picture on our computer, the flyer looks big.
M- {*badly want to punch something*} Look, i have no idea whats a ''pay envelop'' i dont have those. If the dimensions you send me are OK, then everything gonna be fine with the flyer.
C- It's like a white envelop you receive in the mail at home.
M- {FUCKING HELL! HOW CAN YOU BE THAT STUPID!} Ok. But like i said, if the dimensions you send me are ok, it will fit. i waiting for your GO to print.
C- NO! It's too big. My boss dont like it.
M- {*i'm about to explode*} What dimensions does she want them then??
C- Envelop dimension
M- {ENVELOP DIMENSION WWWWWWWTTTTTTTFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!} its really annoying... i told you 4 times that the flyer is 4x5,75.... IT FITS! IN AN ENVELOP OF 4,125x9,5 ! Also, I'm charging you for all this. And here's photo proofs that it fits {i found an envelop and make a test and sent pics}
C- Ok good. print please.
- seriouslyBennn
- so... what's a pay envelope?ESKEMA
- You have to make it 1/8th inch smaller all around to fit nicely. I imagine the client wanted it wider, closer to 8.75 inches, not just 7.5monospaced
- Did you really reply like that at the end? So agressive for someone who doesn't even pay for adobe cc. ;)monospaced
- yeah i was aggressive at the end. :)Bennn
- @mono No, the flyer was already made and she just wanted it to fit in envelope with something else. The goal was to downsize the original, not re-do the layoutBennn
- haha, next time tell them to print it and see for themselves :)monospaced
