This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

Took on a job with the instruction "Use different font".
So swapped out Verdana for Myriad, returned it, client comes back

"What's this?"

"A different font?"

"YES BUT IT'S NOT THE RIGHT FONT, IS IT?!"

We had a customer that recently asked us to add a sentence 'To the right of the letter'
No instruction of where, what size to use, what font to use (there were 3 in the document), anything.

We realised there was only going to be one place this could fit, guessed on the font and size, and he responded telling us it was 'completely wrong'.

WELL, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU GIVE US PROPER INFORMATION, YOU DAFT CUNT?!

Couldn't you have asked him for the specifics, before wasting your time on doing it wrong?
I constantly have to deal with customers who don't have the faintest idea what they want and what is realistically achievable.

If I just went ahead and gave them what I thought they wanted instead of what they really wanted we'd never get anything done.

*pointless pedantry regarding the difference between fonts and typefaces*
