i have this one client that lives way out in the mountains and everytime he wants an update for the website he prints out the webpage draws all over it with a thick black marker then faxes it to me....
also EVERY email that i send to him he prints out and draws his response on it, and then faxes it back to me.
do you guys have crazy ass clients too!?? wow.

No, just the generally annoying ones.
"Oh, and can you do this? And this? And this?"
After a while, saying "It's not in your budget" gets tiring.

I started to do a simple site for a doctor's practice a few years back and then the doctor's wife started changing everything - she said wanted an entire searchable database of every doctor in the US. I started cracking up. I said - "what's your budget?" She said about $400...
Two days later she calls me up and said - "Web companies go public. I just read about it in the newspaper. Can we do an IPO and compete with WebMD? Who do I talk to so I can make some money on this web thing? Oh, and can we make the website 'pop' more? Add some more brighter colors and bigger pictures?"
I gave them their deposit back and walked away very fast..

that's awesome zuna, too many people don't utilize the fax machine anymore. Most of my clients just pick up the phone and call me whenever they have a thought. At least that only happens about once a month...

printing stuff out and writing all over it is under rated.
rock on!
my current boss loves nothing more than printing an entire website and writing all over it.
actually makes my life easier in the end!
