Thats funny right there.

And for those who don't work with clients, this stuff happens with all clients. When I was in engineering (mechanical) I dealt with all kinds of weird request. One was that all wiring for the machine was to be done in the same color wire, green so it would match the color of the machine.

awesome site. lol thanks

ugh. My most common and annoying one whenever I build systems for people (I do it for free).

me: "Just throw out a ballpark budget that you want to spend on this thing so I can start to put together a parts list"
client: "don't worry I have a lot of money, I just want the best"
me: "just tell me what you primarily want this system for and the amount you are willing to spend just so we don't go over the limit"
(this repeats for a while)
me: "ok how about I put together a list for a basic system for around $1,000..."
client: "$1000?!?!? That's expensive for a computer!"
me: "F.M.L."

You should add that to the FML website, sounds pretty annoying.

One of my favorites

"I need a website. The information on the website is top secret, so I need it to only be up during business hours, as to avoid hackers and competition from getting hold of the information. I’d also prefer we hosted it on a Mac."

Why do people think working with photoshop is always perfect, is easy, and is fast. IT ISN'T!!!

lol that reminds me, my mom handed me a really old photo of my grandmother as a kid to restore in Photoshop. Except there is a giant hole in the photograph where her entire head is.

lol I think people sometimes think technology is magic.
