Clients From Hell
The http://clientsfromhell.net/ site is pretty interesting. It lets you post anonymously your very own ‘clients from hell’ stories. There are a few similar styles of sites where you can post confessions, or why your life sucks… but with this site I found you can read a few and have a laugh without feeling too bad about their stories.
You may find yourself recognising a few of them as well! Here was one that I thought was very funny:
Me: ”I will create a login box on your website. Once someone registers and logs in, the website will recognize who the user is and provide relevant content.”
Client: ”That sounds great. However, instead of a login box I’d like to use biometrics to identify the user.”
Me: ”Not sure what you mean.”
Client: ”When someone visits the website, I want them to be able to put their hand on the monitor. The monitor will then scan their hand to confirm who they are. I think that would be a lot more engaging. How much extra would that functionality cost?”
Me: ”Several hundred million dollars.”
Client: Why are you being a wiseass? Can you do it or not?
Me: ”No. Sorry. That’s a little too advanced.”
Client: ”Fine. I’ll try another web designer.”
