I could add to this list however, my favorites are: #6 Clients who don’t know how to cut and paste #7 Clients who think it’s your responsibility to get them website sales… from this point on

Haha, #10 happens all the time. The bonus is a good one except that one thing even worse is a client who supplies a website design in blue pen on A4, this is what I want!! (and this has really happened).

There are 5 things which are incredibly annoying.
1) Clients who take days to answer simple queries 2) Clients who want you to build a site, disappear for weeks on end the reappear and expect you to begin the next day. 3) Clients who do not provide any content 4) Clients who expect you to work on weekends 5) Clients who like to micro-manage everything. Move this 10 pixels right, change this color. Change that color... -------------------- |

QUOTE Internet Explorer! All f***ing versions! I can’t believe in 2008, we’re still dealing with this! Internet Explorer 6 is the spawn of satan! A petition needs to be started with the Government to make it illegal for anyone to use any browser bar firefox! Now that would be bliss  I have a funny feeling though that the Number 10 website wouldn't put up a petition for this  (spoil sports!).

OMG Jason, client's thinking we should work weekends are unbelievable! If I work on weekends, I purposely will not upload some changes until Monday for certain clients.

As someone who deals mainly with other web professionals as a subcontractor, I see this type of stuff a lot. Honestly it doesn't really bother me, since I'm still billing them for it. I prefer to work with micromanaging web professionals than the general web-noob public. |

Now that would be bliss I have a funny feeling though that the Number 10 website wouldn't put up a petition for this (spoil sports!).Actually, there was recently a petition that I signed on that site to make Jeremy Clarkson Prime minister and they replied! They even made a video http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cNy1w4DV5Hw Never going to happen. A guy can dream though...  Though I wouldnt mind if they just banned IE I'm quite happy with Chrome and Safari. I suppose there ugly little brother Opera is acceptable too.
