Client: Do it like this.
Me: Ok, that was kinda difficult and took a while, but here you go.
Client: No... now do it exactly opposite of what we said. And also do a bunch of extra stuff.
Me: [SCREAMING]

Clients, am I right?!

You're definitely right! Got plenty of those the past two weeks... seriously, people.

My main problem client today wanted a magazine layout file sent to a printer by 2pm, but was still sending me spelling corrections well after 3pm (for articles they were supposed to proof weeks ago before they were sent to me). And of course they had procrastinated and taken days to get back to me on the early proofs... at least we bill them by the hour but still. That kind of shit wrecks your schedule with other work. XD

Oof, last minute changes when they had more than enough time - yeah, that's another killer! I'm amazed at how unprofessional people can be sometimes.

Best of luck with your clients! We can only hope these are the exception and not the rule. (Heh.)
