Miss Stupid Poop For Brains!

I just had a call from my boss who told me that a client came to the office yesterday and complained to the staff here that I didn't really entertain them for a job they need done. They also called him and mentioned that I'm incompetent cos apparently I said that we could do a certain job and when the time came, I declined to do it and that I was making empty promises and all that kind of crap!

I was laughing my head off when my boss called me this morning to inform me of their complaint. Let me get something straight, yes, I told the client (which is a big pain in the ass anyway!), which wanted us to do an event backdrop and stage designs that I can do the job PROVIDED they give me all their master images and files at least 5 days before the event. And in reply they said no problems. Ok, I thought, that's good, first time a client ever said they actually have the masters logo's and stuff for their event.

How naive I was. Two days before the event, they email me this minuscule 2kb file which I'm expected to enlarge to an actual size of 10' x 20' ... hahaha! Then when I tell them that with that image size they'd be lucky that I can even give them a postage size stamp with it let alone a 10' x 20' backdrop, they start their nonsense about asking me to edit the file to fit the backdrop.

Ok, Miss Stupid poop for brains who probably doesn't know what mesothelioma is, how the heck am I going to make a tiny 2kb image sharp enough for a backdrop that huge? Do you even know how small a 2kb file is? Do you even have an ounce of brains? So naturally I told her that I decline to do the job cos you cannot provide me what I need and expect miracles from me. I clearly stated that I MUST have all master files 5 days before the event and what do you do? You give me a 2kb file on the last day and expect me to work magic with it.

I've got news for you woman! Even George Lucas would roll on the floor in side splitting laughter at your stupidity! And when I decline the job you start going around complaining to my colleagues and boss that I'm in competent? Why don't you have the courage to come up to me and tell me that? Only when I'm out of the office you decide to come and start spreading crap about me.

Well, fine and dandy, I'm incompetent, so be it. I told you way in advance my terms to accept your project. All you had to do was get me what I need and I would have gladly completed your project for you. But since you're really the incompetent one, please don't go around spreading rumours about my competence.

I'm fed up of molly coddling clients these days. I'm not desperate for your freaking business. If you don't give me what I need to get your job done properly, then I'm going to decline your work. After all you can always find some other sucker out there to do your impossible work. I really feel like publishing your name and your stupid company name here so people will be warned to avoid you and your freaking company in case you approach them for work, but I shall refrain from it for now. So, don't push me, Miss Stupid poop for brains. I can be a really vengeful person!

* forgive any typo's found cos I'm too darned pissed right now to proof read this post!

  1. You are sooooo polite... "poop for brains", we usually say "s**t for brains", it's got a good healthy down to earth feel about it bringing a level of smug satisfaction.

    But.... leave it until she pushes you, I'm actually kind of hoping she will.

  3. 2kb is too much. Even a person who has no artistic skills whatsoever will know that. That client memang tak boleh pakai.

  6. Cool down Mr...hehhe. No point in boiling over such a missy. I am sure your boss and colleagues know you well enough. Serving clients can be such a challenge.

  7. I can so empathise with you. I was once in the design industry too and had my fair share of unreasonable clients. it's a good thing you drop them cos such customers expect the moon and will never be satisfied.
