the swearing bugs a lot of people, but when people ask for this shit, I swear just like them. HA!

Loved it, spot on. Anyone who whines about the use of swearing needs to wake up to the idea that clients invoke the sort of wrath not seen outside a gurning Shatner moment in Wrath of Khan….

today I was reminded of this clip by this enquiry ‘Please can you have a look at the site and send a proposal/thoughts of where we should start with SEO and what monthly budget you would suggest for working on the site, as well as what we need to do.’ I replied with ‘I don’t need any new clients at the moment’.

Do you have a copy of an NDA, I can copy for you to sign – Classic!

I gotta agree w/u. I enjoy dirty humor in some movies and stand-up acts. These brilliant clips r indeed not the right forum for redundant-redundant-redundant-redundant swear words. Otherwise, they r hilarious! My husband is a Graphics and web designer, so these really hit close 2 home 4 us!

Great concept and nice animation but the FUCKING language lets it down. I know how annoying twits with no idea can be, but you’ve devalued the power of those expletives by using them to death.

Me too! LOL!

It’s the best video I’ve seen. I’m freelance GD and it’s so true.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:10 am
Great primer for the GD business! Highly Recommended for all newbies.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:08 am
all so true! The NDA bit happens so often.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:23 am
BRILLIANT!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:54 am
Thanks, I feel less lonely all of a sudden !
February 8th, 2010 at 5:32 am
everytime I talk to a stupid client, all I will be seeing in my head is this robot! I love it

@MrPhero, I’m a designer and I know a lot of other designers and we all hate it when employers expect us to do coding when they are two completely different disciplines. I can’t do any sort of coding just like people who have studied in coding can’t design. So don’t worry, not all us designers are idiots!
We know coding is a hard job and meant for you coders. This is why I can’t get a job…. 
I just wish employers understood the difference. It’s like expecting brick layers to do plumbing!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:52 am
And all the designers think they are coders
February 8th, 2010 at 6:30 am
no offense to my wonderful clients, but I can relate 100%
February 8th, 2010 at 6:31 am
Brilliant.
I had one that gave a site design to his friend’s 16 year old son because he would do it for a fifth of what I had quoted, then 3 weeks later called and asked if I would upload the files for him (he didn’t expect to pay anything) because the little twat didn’t know how to FTP from FrontPage. Of, I said ‘No thanks’, or something like that
February 8th, 2010 at 7:13 am
spot. on.
i quote £2k for a totally fresh CMS E-commerce site, I get – “i expected £200″… f*ck off mate!
February 8th, 2010 at 7:16 am
“I also have a domain name I bought for 27p… the name escapes me…”
I lol’d, hard.

So funny because it’s true. Employers though are no more intelligent than clients. Funny how the previous comment is from an architect as I had to deal with architects all the time for house-designed ads on a RIBA page in a magazine; architects are the most awkward people I’ve dealt with. Apparently architects know more about ad design than I do, even when I already said it’s in a house format they still try and change it. You’re right, everyone thinks they’re a designer, even the architects!
February 8th, 2010 at 9:05 am
It’s all the same for every kind of design…believe me I’m architect and every client’s wife, daughter, son, grandma or neighbour or the client itself is better architect and designer….I donno if they are why they ask us to design and why they don’t fuckn doin it for themselves for free??
February 8th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Wow. Too close.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Clients like this are the #1 I will not freelance anymore. I’ve been putting up with idiots like this since 1998, so they’re nothing new. #2 reason web design sucks as a job is because everyone and their mom thinks they’re a professional designer when they all just use shit like jquery and wordpress and hide under the umbrella term “freelance.”

I’ve honestly had a dude tell me he has a great new idea that hasn’t been done before anywhere! His idea was a website that you could rate restaurants around the city so other people could find out which restaurants were worth going to. He said people would be willing to pay an annual fee of 50$ for this service… I laughed extremely hard and said, ya good idea!
