You Think Your Job Sucks? Then Take A Look At These 113 Real Conversations With Clients From Hell

Fair enough.

Freelancer: "Yes. Think ahead next time."

They are the worst kind... idiots thinking they are genius...

This is the most desperate way of talking your way out of a CONTRACT

He was right, though: He literally can never tell

someone needs to give that person a slap

I even saw someone searching google in google bar. Yes.

Did he accept?

I sometimes wonder what parallel universe some of these people must be from.

As long the client is satisfied.

Ugh, in customer service we have a lot of cases like this "WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER ME?!" *the avalanche of spam messages was sent outside of working hours every 5 hours*. We are not a chatting service. And we are humans too, not NPCs programmed to answer any time you press the key.

I am NOT impressed! Do these people even have brains???

Oof.

Wise decision.

Nice!

Why don't these people understand they actually need to PAY for the service???

This is the most aware client of the bunch so far.

:(((

Printing animated gifs does not work with Muggle printers.

Wow. That is so offensive!

If this was CSI, they would use the reflection of the car in the puddle which is reflected in the window of the barn, increase it be 5000% and hit "enhance". Job done!

Tell them you accept either £20 per hour or £1 per minute for 60 minutes work ;)

That reminds me of a friend who had a flatmate who thought she had to pay only for the time she was physically in the room. One time she went away for two weeks and didn't understand why she had to pay for the whole month since she wasn't there...

I had that exact conversation when I was working at an IT department. More than once... We used to go on site for support... So many times people weren't happy.

Time to go to small claims court. (or regular court.)

And some of these people run their own business? Just how.....

What is wrong with people these days? Expecting to get paid for services not later than they choose - are you crazy? (*sarcasm*)

Ummm .15 is less than .7

It's kinda cute. :)

LOL..

"Why, of course it did! Legally, we can't discriminate against people named 'Bob'..."

This actually explains a lot ...

I don't, absolutely don't know how an adult would actually believe that someone would do free work. But then, it's another level where they believe YOU pay to work for them...

Nothing fancy

//face palm

omg..

Sex sells

The ignorance displayed is staggering. I remember a post on Quora asking if they spoke Latin in England.

I've had similar!

Creating the website from Hell...

"please don't correct me again" "can i slap you in your face???"

What do you even reply to THIS person?!

My reply would have been: "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that word... is there another word you'd like to use that won't get you sued?"

In fairness, anyone who does this professionally should learn how to explain and translate their work to lay people. If everyone knew and understood the details of this stuff, they probably wouldn't have to hire a professional.

I would still reply "And what colour is it?" with "green".

well but at least he wants to pay unlike some of the idiots here

Did you advise the client where to put the 20 cents?

*facepalm*

He is probably used to being logged in his Google/Apple account everywhere and import all his bookmarks.

*facepalm*

How the hell do these people maintain a business???

Oh dear god... there is no hope for mankind.

Busted!

I feel your pain.

Sexist..

Okay that's just horrible. Have the agreement of the model himself first. The rest comes later.

how? make a captcha-like test of a picture of an orange and Trump and make visitors to choose which they have more negative thoughts on?

At least this client understands that files have a size. Tell that to all these people sending insanely large attachments and replying to emails with attachments always with them kept.

Bahhh hahh!!

I can understand that you can fool a teenager with $20 extra. ...Probably not a full-time freelancer

Clients need to feel like they've had an input...

In all fairness, it can be very frustrating trying to use a technology you don't understand. At least he was honest about his lack of understanding, rude yes, but honest.

Half a pig for a website sounds very fair. County fair, in fact

If they can somehow send food through inboxes, I would like to order a Double Whooper.

Well... Extra points for asking a straightforward honest answer, I guess?

Bill him hourly for the time you will be spending on creating a time machine ;)
