(Apr 21 06, 03:25)Even better, when you buy in a photo and it comes in too small to use and the photo agency say "we can re-size that in photoshop for you"

I remember a client asking if the document would be printed in A4 because the pdf she was sent was A4 landscape!!!!
I sent pdf as spreads!!!
GAWD!!!

No-one I know uses a typewriter for work anymore. So why would people still type a double space? It really pisses me off too. When are these people taught that it is correct to type 2 spaces? Maybe they all learned to type in Courier.
I just means extra work using find/replace (admittedly very easy). But it just annoys me that people don't realise that adding 2 spaces is only relevant it the typeface is monospaced.

Yeah. Clients are outta control sometimes. I did some work for target a few years back, and when I called the agency we were working with for an .ai/.eps logo, she told me to go to www.taqrget.com and that the logo would be there.
Did you even listen to me? WTF?
Got a copy deck the other day too. This one os great. I do not need to hear anything about double spaces after this one:
The copy deck was typed up on a freakin typewriter, because the 55yo sales manager does not know how to use word. WTF? Can you even pump gas anymore without knowing how to operate a computer at SOME level?

The other week a client was asking for a brighter colour, and he suggested black.
Huh...

A client called me once in a bit of a panic. A printer had phoned her asking for a 300 DPI version of her complany logo.
She said 'what's dippy eye mean'?
Nice.

Or in a presentation, client says...
'I like what you've done with the layout but I'm not sure about using Latin text, can we use our own copy instead'?
No, really.
