carousels.
making a website with fucking a million carousels, everytime i open a psd or get another page there is a different carousel on the fucking thing, thumbnails, text links buttons, fuckin fluffy bunnies for navigation, urgh, sifr, form validation, thickbox too. tabbed content, tabbed content with sifr, tabbed content with carousels, predictive search. I might as well just skin my fucking resource library.... then when i think im seeing the end.. bang! another batch of psds. except the layout changes... more templates! yeah!
scaleable text on a baseline grid. and no spec. thats right not one word of documentation on how the website actually works....
back to the grind. music up coffee on.- oh yeah, transparent pngs with overlays and locked content.Stugoo

If its 20 pixels away from the header in the PSD, put it 20 pixels away from the header. If the line of text there is a graphic and will never need to change, kindly cut it as a fucking graphic. If the text is 13px, don't set it in 11px, if there are 3 lines of text in the preview, truncate the fucker and don't let it break the whole page with over spill. If there is space between the bottom of the footer and the bottom of the page, please replicate this in the css. Please don't tell me you can't do X, Y and Z because I know plenty of this shit myself and could do it in under 10 minutes. If I spend hours making something look the way it should, how do think I feel when you disregard the lot if it and put something live which looks like a dogs dinner? You may be able to send a 2 page CV to future employers but I need to stand on the quality you are clearly uninterested in matching.

If someones nails are too long in a film, no I can't make them shorter. This is not hollywood and you don't have millions of pounds in the budget to pay for it.

You are not doing us a favour "allowing" us to join 5 other companies you have no intention of hiring in a time consuming, costly process of effectively providing you with free strategic consulting services and free design

The "Swine flu" is actually called the "Mexican flu". The CDC had to use a less defamatory name so that it would offend all of the fence jumping wetbacks.

FUCK SPEC WORK AND PITCHING.

I share your pain though Kelpie. I usually do all my photoshop to html/css myself, but on the rare the occasions I send it out, its like they fucking glanced at it. Suddenly there's no point in having dark grey AND black, and even though I use about 14,000 guides in photoshop, and margins and padding in multiples of 4px, their OCD is obviously inferior to mine and I get margins of 5px and padding of 4px.
- its infuriating. I've started to regularly spit my dummy hugely about itkelpie

I'll tell you what I can't stand:
People at my gym, who, like me, also pay $110 a month for a membership, and DO NOTHING while they're there.
I got in there this morning (for the first time in the morning, there at 6:45 am) and really pushed myself like I always do. Break a sweat, get tired, keep going. I'm proud of myself when I do that. And I look around, and I see some idiot d-bag spending more time choosing songs on his ipod than doing anything productive for a workout. The ONLY thing I saw him do was pick up a hammer barbell and so some shoulder shrugs from side to side while holding it.
It just really irritates me - it's as bad as people saying they have a gym membership and thinking that by osmosis they're just going to get in shape without ever showing up. I'm only four months into working out regularly and I'm not the best at it, but damn it I push myself as hard as I can while I'm there, because that's the only way I'm going to benefit from it.
But I see these slackers there, just sitting on equipment, taking 5 minute breaks between sets... it's stupid.

Customers that don't understand resolution, proportions or what vector means. Customers that approve a proof, find a mistake after the fact and think they deserve a break.

I'm pretty good in photoshop. Been doing it a long time. Still sometimes I'm not sure how to do something so I go online to find a quick refresher tutorial. Everything is in fucking video nowadays. Why? why can't I just read a step by step description of what to do, without having to sit and yawn while some socially inept geek takes up to an hour to show me how to do the task? stumbling over his words, mumbling, going over the same thing over and over again like he's teaching at the Special School for Artworkers, going around in tangents in his boring fucking monotone like a proper cunt.

Post-match Football managers. Why do they always look and sound like they just sent their boys for a kick-about with an IED in Helmand Province?

If you push me to the side and say I'll do it, then you better fucking do it and do it right. Because after looking at it now, its completely fucked. Thanks
