Having worked for the last year with a creative design agency, I've seen a lot of the communication between our design team and their clients. While we usually don't have many (if any) issues while working with them, every once in a while we'll get a client who is outrageously picky, or just can't seem to be satisfied. These stories and websites are some of the funniest/worst/truest examples of what designers have to put up with ALL THE TIME. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote for your favorite!
#5 - "Nightmare Web-Design Clients"
This website details 10 of a designer's worst clients. Some of them were kinda funny, but honestly I just threw this one on the list to make it a solid 5, so if I were you I wouldn't waste my time unless you are really bored.
#4 - "If Architects Had to Work Like Web Designers"
This one is a pretty humorous article that someone wrote about wanting a house built, but in the same manner that we often get requests for a website to be built. Literally, we get requests like this.
#3 - "Clients From HELL"
This is a continuously updated site where people can post their own horror stories about working with bad clients. Some of them are extremely funny and/or ridiculous. If you do have time to burn, I'd recommend this one over the first link.
#2 - "How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell"
This comic is awesome, as it comes so close to real life. The 8th frame is my favorite. I often imagine some of our clients like this... It helps
#1 - "The Vendor-Client Relationship"
This video says it all...
