What is this "Adult card" that you speak off?
I refuse to grow up, i'm having way to much fun ^^

This times infinity! I will never grow up! *pouts*

I wanna be a ToysRUs kid!!

[Kanalah]

I still haven't grown up and I'm almost 30.

I just prefer the fabric store to the toy store.

*innocent look* What?

*innocent look* What?

You and me both. I certainly didn't grow up. My toys just got more expensive.

[PatchO'Black]

One must grow older. Growing up is optional. Of course, one should choose wisely when to be grown up and when to be child-like.

[Elspeth]

Yay, I am not the only one. And whoever introduced me to the new My Little Pony is evil :P

[Seraph]

Welp, to reiterate, client had sent me this huge set of emails talking about how he wants to turn everything around and get a new design done up. However, he wanted to combine the design I did, with a new design. Blah blah, violation of *my* copyright to do so, and I'd warned him.

Today we discussed, at length, me working on the project, and I said that as long as it was ME on the project, I'd be fine with that. I gave him a highly reduced rate for the fixes (mistake #1) and mentioned a couple of things I could really fix up (mistake #2).

I just checked my email before heading to bed again (kids are coughy), and he sent me this lovely email:

Ok, I have decided that I think the cheapest way to work out this project, is for me to do the majority of the work, and you correct any small issues I have missed. Hopefully the site is setup on the right canvas now, let me know what you think, thanks!

...Wait. So allllll that talk we had about you violating my copyright, apologizing for doing so, and how appreciative you were of the reduced rate....out the door?

Yeah, he's in for it. I replied back with merely a copypasta of the agreement he signed, specifically, the part stating no derivative works. XD

[Kheldarson]

Give 'em an inch....and they'll run right into illegal activity. But geez. Blatant much?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Serious question: why are you still doing business with this guy?

He seems hell bent on ripping off somebody else's website and using your designs and help in doing so.

QFT. Dude needs to be

This guy can't wrap his head around the concept of what he wants for his site isn't cheap.

He's the kind of guy who goes to the bookstore and sees all these self help books on HTML and Photoshop and thinks, "That's really easy. These so called pros are just rip off artists, there's no reason why I can't do this myself." He probably did a little HTML 1 way back in the day and doesn't think HTML 5 is any harder. And we won't even get into software packages like Photoshop.

He's the kind of guy who will do a bad paint job on his house just to avoid paying a professional to do it, even though he lacks the time, energy or skill to do the job right and is oblivious of the neighbor's glares because he's just dropped their property values.

My daughter, the science teacher, adds three quarters of a year... Her conception (of) time is a little strange.

Conception, you know . . . . Nine months in the womb.

Ironically, I did that last year to our bathroom. I was trying to ease the repair costs on the home, and well....oy vay I did a bad job. LOL

[manybellsdown]

I start telling people I'm <next birthday's age> after I hit the halfway mark. Close enough.

As someone who just rampaged through JoAnn's in order to make Halloween costumes for the family at the last minute, I salute you.

[EricKei]

This guy asked for a "discount"?! o_O

I think he was thinking of the wrong word. What you need to offer him is to work - not for a DISCOUNTED rate, but TRIPLE your rate...

[morgana]

Usual rate x 85 wouldn't be enough. Time to kick him to the curb, methinks.
