Thanks for your comments everyone! Great to hear some of these stories, especially when they involve fresh milk squeezed from a cow’s teet! HAHA

I was once asked to quote for a website for a farmer, I went to visit the guy at his farm to discuss the project, he was a very nice guy and offered me a tea or coffee, I asked for a white coffee, once made he disappeared out the back door and added the milk straight from a goat in the back yard, not wanting to offend I did attempt a few sips.

Once I heard a client saying:

“… that’s too expensive… why don’t you design my website in black and white?”

Once attended a meeting with a client and a ‘friend’ wandered into his studio… …his friend interrupted our meeting numerous times to ask me questions and eventually explained that he was in need of a serious website. And I quote – “I want the best. I want an absolutely professional website, but I’m only willing to pay you ‘amature’ prices!” I said I’d refer him to some recent graduates and he left offended that I wouldn’t take the job.

Yeah. A recent client said that he needed a CD Album Art done and that he:
“Didn’t have a large budget for the project… almost no budget at all.”

I had no other pressing work, so I did do it, and was glad that my name was included in the “Thank yous” in the CD case.
