— A client adamant that an image can’t be too pixelated to be blown up.
Client: Hey, I want to cancel the project so If you could just give me a full refund of my non-refundable deposit and we’ll both go our separate ways
Me: I’m afraid the non-refundable deposit can’t be returned.
Client: What? Why?
Me: It’s non-refundable.
Client: Well I didn’t know that!

Croptastrophe
Client: I really like the blue card with the white text. I also liked the little squares you put in the corners on the white card.
I was confused for a second, until I realized he liked the crop marks in the corners of the spec design.
Client: Hi, I’m about to get on a plane and won’t be in touch the rest of the day. There’s a new project that I’ve got someone handling, they’ll call later on and let you know what’s needed. They need to check with some guys over the weekend to get all our ducks in a row, but then we should be good to go.
Me: Well, Ok. What’s the deadline on this?
Client: Literally, immediately.
Me: I’m visiting my parents this weekend - I wouldn’t be able to start until Monday.
Client: I find it hard to believe you don’t have some free time before you leave.
Me: Is that you at Gate 48?
Client: …We’ll be in touch on Monday.
Client: I really don’t like what you’ve done with the copy.
Me: I proof read it and corrected some spelling mistakes.
Client: There was no need to be so bloody thorough.
