Attention design nerds! Here’s a new blog that will have you laughing your fonts off. Clients From Hell features anonymous stories about the incompetent people and projects graphic designers have dealt with. The vignettes deal with anything from stupid misunderstandings—“After I sent a client a mockup with lorem ipsum as filler text [they responded] ‘It’s good but there is a weird language on the page. It will either need to be translated or removed.’”— to clients who fancy themselves better designers than you: “Hi, I was having a word with my nephew last night, who’s a bit of a web designer himself and I have a few new ideas for the site…”
It’s a Helvetica good time. [Clients From Hell Tumblr]

This reminds me of why I never like to deal with the public in a professional capacity.
I have had people try to tell me they want a roof designed with no columns or walls holding it up - like it’s meant to just float in mid-air defying gravity?
I have had multiple people complain that their house is always flooding and that I should be able to fix it when they’ve built their house in the middle of a creek. Apparently I have a bad attitude when I point out they’ve built their house in a creek.
