Title: Video - Designer's Nightmare

Maybe you have already seen this. It should be funny but this situation is so well known to me that it almost made me cry :-)

It's funny and sad at the same time.

The #1 reason why I won't probably ever do client work.

I used to and that's close enough to the truth that it's very funny. One of my favorites was the client who'd approve things and then send them to his Uncle in California to take a look. Inevitable the uncle would want something different.

I particularly liked the blood and guts on the snowmen :)

Hahaha..... so good... and so true ;). No matter how many pitch you make, a lot of time clients just go back to the first one :P

True indeed.  I used to have Web Design clients, and that sort of scenario is the very thing that made me stop and find something else to do.  It drove me nuts.  I'll be forwarding this to the designers I know.

In a different sphere... my partner is a programmer, and he roared with laughter.  He said it's exactly the same for him in his profession.  He sent it to a whole bunch of of other programmers and work colleagues.

Thanks for posting!  Great stuff.
