clientsfromhell: Airline Client: “You quoted us for 8 days of 2D graphics. I think that’s way too much.” Me: “It includes revisions.” Airline Client: “Well, if you do everything perfectly and we don’t want to change anything, can you charge us less?” Colleague: “If your airline flew us to London and got us there 10 minutes ahead of schedule, would everyone on the plane get a refund?”
