Some of those are just... incredible. "Can you make our website track their webcams?

Client: “You’re fired.” Me: “Why?” Client: “You printed it upside-down.” Me: “You’re holding the board upside-down.”  _________________A Mac user

Mr. Cat.
I have just spent approximately 40 minutes browsing the site you linked to above, when I should have been eating or coding.
Regards,
Edd

Client (after telling me the idea for the website): How much will that cost?
Me: Well, you’ve given me a lot of info. I’d like to organize all of these ideas and get back to you with an appropriate quote.
Client: I’d like to get it going as soon as possible. How’s $250?
Me: Uh… that’s a little low. I’d feel more comfortable just giving you an official quote and we can see if we can work out a payment plan.
Client: Alright, how about this. I’ll give you the $250 for this project and this other project I have. It’s a porn site for this 70-year-old woman. $250 for both sites AND 15% of the profits from that site.
Me: (speechless)
Client: And I’ll blow you.

Client: “[Indian outsourcer] says he can do this site for $200. Why should I go with you?”
Me: “Has he done any work for you in the past?”
Client: Yeah! He did [Other Site] for me.
[I load the other site]
Me: “The entire site’s done in Flash.”
Client: “Huh?”
Me: “It’s a site for iPhone users.”
Client: “I know. Cool, huh?”
Me: “It’s a site for iPhone users… none of whom can see it…”
Client: “Huh?”
Me: “The iPhone doesn’t support Flash.”
Client: “Well it looks fine on my PC!”
Me: “Do you have an iPhone?”
Client: “No.”
Me: “…”
Client: “Tell you what, I’m just gonna go with [Indian outsourcer]. He seems like he knows what he’s doing and I’m not sure you do.”
Me: “Have fun.”
That was brilliant.
