I hate it when a client forces me to show them something in its rough form, and then they email me to say "I'm quite keen to see how this part looks when you've worked on it a bit more".
Oh really? I'm looking forward to farting heartily upon the creases in your invoice.
(If any of my clients are reading this, I don't mean you).

Putting code into QA Environment before Production and Clients going, "This doesn't work why doesn't this work?!"
I try to remind them, they are looking at everything two weeks before it is to go live.
It's a pain man for sure.

Indeed, clients get a little too excited sometimes they are a keen beast.

At least you haven't been asked to "Jazz it up" by Kelpie.

From a client: I don't like it.
From your boss: It's better than what I could come up with. I don't like it.

our partner has been developing a database for us for 3 years now. it's still not done. i have no understanding why that is, unless they are fucking retarded. then of course i feel sorry for them and say "oh my what have you made? it's beautiful" when they hand us part of the code soaked in paste and glitter.
they have a PDF generator they installed (open source FOP code or somesuch shit) they didn't even have to write this! they show us how it works, you input an XML file it generates a PDF. wonderous. it seems to work like a charm. so they give me the login info to test it this week.
send over documentation and ftp info. even zip up an ftp program to use. last minute they tell us that they changed how we have to connect. we know have to make a VPN connection to their servers first. fine, no idea why, but fine. they zip up a VPN client software, and send it over with more documentation and more login info.
install everything, connect with VPN... go to connect to ftp.... VPN closes. try again. VPN closes again. try a different FTP client. it doesn't connect. we email them about it. they haven't gotten back to us yet. this was supposed to be done by today, but i haven't even been able to test it yet.

direct quote from an assignment brief:
Considerations:
1. Q4 is the only promotion for the year; look into ways to really make it impactful and big.
2. Create a logical reason for the promotion, especially since it's on the Original flavor (our flagship product).
- Is there a way to tie into the holiday season giving the work a celebratory feel.
