found this online, but if they're anything like any of my design clients, there are many more like this.

Client: ?[Indian outsourcer] says he can do this site for $200. Why should I go with you??
Me: ?Has he done any work for you in the past??
Client: Yeah! He did [Other Site] for me.
[I load the other site]
Me: ?The entire site?s done in Flash.?
Client: ?Huh??
Me: ?It?s a site for iPhone users.?
Client: ?I know. Cool, huh??
Me: ?It?s a site for iPhone users? none of whom can see it??
Client: ?Huh??
Me: ?The iPhone doesn?t support Flash.?
Client: ?Well it looks fine on my PC!?
Me: ?Do you have an iPhone??
Client: ?No.?
Me: ???
Client: ?Tell you what, I?m just gonna go with [Indian outsourcer]. He seems like he knows what he?s doing and I?m not sure you do.?
Me: ?Have fun.?

Just wait till they fuck his shit up so bad and he fires them and takes back control only to realize that all his code is in Filipino. Lovely.

I drink my coffee and read that site daily. So many funny situations that have happened to myself 100 times.

Every time you think you've dealt with the stupidest person in the world there still seems to be someone worse.

CamsMaster · 07-19-2010, 06:47 AM

it seems that the guy know what he want... and you can't go against his desire

I've always loved that site and some days I have what I think could be golden submissions.

Not having been back for awhile until today, I came across this one. It'd be hilarious if it were an adult sponsor.

While developing an affiliate website for one of our mobile network clients, my employer came over and reviewed the site we were building.

Boss: “I think we need to have some sort of avatar on the home page, to welcome the users to the site.”

Me: “Okay, no problem. Was there anything you had in mind?”

Boss: “Well since sex sells, I would like to have a slim, sexy cartoon woman holding a mobile phone.”

[I proceeded to create this sexy avatar.]

Me: “I’ve finished the avatar. Was this what you were after?”

Boss: “That’s nice but it’s not what I was after.”

Me: “Okay. What are you looking for then?”

[My Boss then loaded up his internet browser and Google searched an image of a small, chubby, animated duck holding a mobile phone.]

Me: “I thought you wanted a sexy woman?”

Boss: “I do.”

Me: “So you want a cross between a sexy woman and a fat, yellow duck?”

Supz · 07-19-2010, 06:54 PM

I know it is an epic fail. And this might not be your customer. But I know that I do not know everything, and if I am in the process of hiring a designer and I ask a stupid question. I would hope he would explain it to me in hopes of having that earn him my business instead of him going and posting it on a message board. Unless you are a millionaire and you do design for fun (both of which i doubt), you should do anything short of sucking someones dick to get there business. I personally wouldn't hire you now just on the fact I would be afraid to ask something and you would think I am 'dumb'.

If the sites in your sig are any indication of your design work, I would highly recommend you get out, because they just aren't good.
