I've been communicating with a new client via email and oh my ..... I have to deal with them only when I have time to go jog afterwords because otherwise all my anger and frustration causes me to punch the wall and I don't want any holes in it. 
Client asks me at the start to communicate only via email, then gives me their work number as well 'just in case.' Email exchange goes fine until I send an email asking for clarification on something and get back an error saying that their inbox is full. So, I wait until the next morning, try emailing them again to see if they've taken care of it, same error message. I finally called and left a voicemail just giving them a heads up, since there was no way to get the work done on time (or to even get it to them!) if their email was down.
Three days later, I get an angry phone call about why their work hasn't been sent yet.
I let them know that it was bouncing, the client promptly goes into a rage.
"Why haven't you contacted me?! You have my phone number, this is irresponsible, you have no professionalism bitch bitch moan~"
So I told him, politely, that I'd left him a voicemail as well.
He promptly exploded; I swear I could hear the veins in his neck bursting over the phone as he screamed about how he'd asked me not to call him.
I'm the unprofessional one?
