    What's with the attitude from designers?

    I emailed this designer, Anna from gimme-website, with a preliminary spiel of what I was looking for. This is my email:

    Code:
    Hello Anna,
    
    I'm looking for a design that is compliant (HTML5 and CSS3).  It needs to be stylish and unique.  I like the colours and the grunge feel of this site:
    http://www.zuzanadesigns.com/chris2/pornpunk/site/
    
    I like the stylishness of this site:
    http://www.younglegalporn.com/
    It has a very modern feel to it which I like
    
    I want the tube style design for both members and non members plus all other mechbunny pages for member profiles, etc.
    
    Please let me know if this is something you can do and how much it would cost.  If you need further details, please do not hesitate to contact me.
    Her reply to me was less than courteous and just reeked of attitde:

    Code:
    Sorry (my name here), but i refuse to click either of those links.
    Maybe you should hire zuzanna if you like their work so much. ??
    
    Anna x
    What is happening to people working in this industry that is making them behave this way? I just don't get it.

    I can explain this easily. She dislikes zuzana and her outfit. You gave her examples from probably the one designer she quite possibly despises the most.

    While I dont think it was proper handling... She has the right to handle it that way.

        I never said she didn't have a right to handle it that way. I am questioning WHY handle it that way? I don't know anything about her issue with Zuzana or anyone else; I am a customer looking to get work done. If you don't want to work with me, why not tell me so politely? Why give me attitude when I was kind enough to offer you my business?

        So no, on second thoughts, I don't think she has any fucking right to treat her potential customers that way. That's just wrong!

          Ayla, I've been on GFY since 2001 and have just over 1100 posts, I'm hardly someone looking to start any drama. This email though just rubbed me the wrong way! Total disrespect for a potential customer!

          I just can't begin to think why someone would want to come across this way?

            why would you even consider her ?

            as you can see from her reaction she is a stuck up little bitch with a horrible attitude.


            i wouldnt work with that slag is she was the last designer online

                She just showed that she is not a professional designer but a jealous little girl.

                    That's her attitude. Even after agreeing that maybe she should probably be a little less of a bitch, it seems apparent to me that she just can't help herself.

                    She isn't acting like a bitch, she is one. And doesn't care what you think.

                    Spend you some brain.

                      If anyone you are paying gives you the slightest attitude, fire them. It's that simple.

                      If they have an attitude before you hire them, move on to the next person.

                            Most likely she is skittish about dealing with anyone from GFY; or she has more work than she knows what to do with. Another possibility is pricing. Is Zuzana significantly cheaper?

                              Zuzana design work is very good from what I've seen. I don't know nor would hire somebody with a domain of "gimme-website"
