    A thing of beauty. Painfully spot-on. Brilliant. And… <sigh> so, so sad.

    Phil, I have experienced this on several occasions with video production clients – all the way to a client saying they’ll do their own from now on – only to call me later for tips!  This is both hilarious and sad at the same time.  But it is an eye opener that helps expose a problem from a different perspective.  Thank you for sharing.

    Oh, my.  I love this.

    This is HYSTERICAL and HORRIFYING, because I KNOW people like this.  I was told by a friend that a Christian left her, the waitress, a TRAC instead of a tip…..  Oh no!!!!  I’m sure you’ll keep getting more scary “client” stories…

    The problem is that too many of us fall for this; I mean beginning negotiations on set prices. It may not happen as much if we didn’t let it.

    “what we’re going to need to  do is show us how you made it, so we can do on our own in-house from now on”..  

    HILARIOUS

    Thanks for the laugh

    The slant is church and ministry as the culprits but I have had that with big names as well – Dell, Cisco, Apple, etc.
