Bullshit Clients Options

[pandora]

Ok I really hate bullshit clients. Some guy just IMed me, on my personal AIM account, and I was on a conference call with another client and a developer so it took me a while to respond.

sirmoshalott: i really need you to respond a bit faster.

What the f**k?

sirmoshalott: i own eightohhthree.net
sirmoshalott: i need some work done

Good for you?

sirmoshalott: can i see some of your work?
pandora: i'm not accepting any more projects at this time
sirmoshalott: well you know someone?
sirmoshalott: im willing to pay top dollar
pandora: how much is "top dollar" to you?
sirmoshalott: im not going over 2000$
3:00 PM
pandora: sorry i dont know anyone that will work for that low.
sirmoshalott: are you serious
pandora: very serious.
sirmoshalott: how much do you work for?

then he bumps up the price all the sudden:

sirmoshalott: you mean that people wont make you a web site for 20000$?
pandora: you might be able to find some low budget designers
pandora: i dont know any personally.
sirmoshalott: not 2000$ but 20000$
pandora: you said 2000 earlier
sirmoshalott: everyone locally around here sucks
sirmoshalott: i meant 20000

Uh.. flight risk alert. I'm pretty sure this guy meant 2000 and then added a 0 after I said that was low budget.

pandora: i dont know anyone that would want to work with you anyway
sirmoshalott: why?


pandora: you may want to change your attitude if you are looking for a designer to work with.
3:10 PM
sirmoshalott: i have one
sirmoshalott: buh bye
sirmoshalott: my designer owns, myspaceownage.com
pandora: good for them.

that site sucks.

and holly i know you worked on this eightohthree site, or at least i'm pretty sure. i hope you didn't refer this guy to me.

omg, he actually im'ed me asking me to do something and that he would pay me. so i told him i would have it done in a few days because you know, I HAVE A LIFE! so then he says, no i want it done now. and then i tell him look, i told you i can have it done in a few days now if you can't wait until then well then find yourself another designer.

what irritated me was the fact he said, oh if you know photoshop really well, it shouldn't take but a few hours. and then mentions that i was his last resort because he asked everyone else on cb but no one wanted to help him.

hmmm...i wonder why?
