ha ha ha - how's about this for taking the p*ss!
Been badgering one of my clients for over a week now for some details and images etc... for part of their website - nothing huge but no walk in the park either 2-3 days work.
Finally they sent part of the stuff this morning. All sounds normal and reasonable, but...
they have just phoned me to say that they are not happy that it is not online yet as they sent out a newsletter email to all of the subscribers 'YESTERDAY' telling them to visit the site!!!!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - f***in' knobheads!!!
Can you believe the idiocy of people!!!

Yes I do believe these clients exist.
I recently got to quote for a job. Simple refresh of a site. But he wanted it online like tomorrow. I quoted 300 quid as I know them and it should only take a few days and then the director says that is too much. I said fine, look elsewhere then!!
On another job I quoted on the client said they wanted a brand new site with streaming videos etc. I quoted 500 quid and then they said they could get a 'professional' company to do it for 50 quid! I said good luck to him!

i did posters for a client and delivered the files on a cd.
he called up that night complaining that he couldn't view the images. i asked how he was trying to view them and he informed me that he "just popped it into his dvd player"
i told him no, of course you can't view them on a frigging dvd player- 1 it was ridiculous, and 2, it's not even a dvd.
so then he freaks out and in a panic asks if he just ruined his dvd player.
what
the
fuck

(Aug 19 05, 04:47)well, it IS possible though. well, on a lot of dvd players it is possible to view jpg's on a cdrom!
one of my clients computer was defunct, so i told him i could send him some print but later on he said he viewed the photographs via his cheap ass 70 bucks dvd player!

nice
but , where the hell do you find these people??? i'm hard pressed to find a noob client anymore :)

...another example of the gonkish actions happened the other day - the client requested that I transfer ownership of a domain to their client - no problem, so made the relevant instructions to the relevant people - and informed the client that he would need to follow my step by step how to set up an account guide.
Thinking it was all sorted - I got a phone call ranting about breach of contracts and legal proceedings against either myself or the ISP!!!! I let him rant for a little and then asked the question is it showing up in your account yet? - ...account? what account? came the reply!
what a dick! if they didn't owe me as much money on other accounts I'd tell them to whistle!!!
Still nearly the weekend!
