A photographer wanted to hire to
build her portfolio website.  During our consult, she went on and on about
how she couldn’t be bothered learning anything “web” because she just loved to
get in Photoshop and “play.“ 

She didn’t balk at all on cost
and paid her deposit on the spot after looking through my previous designs and
stating how much she loved my work.  This is the feedback I received after
sending the first round of comps:

Client: This isn’t what
we discussed.

Me: I’m sorry to hear
that!  Can you please clarify what you don’t like about the design so I
may change it?

Client: I just sent you an
email.

I checked my email, and it was just my design with the sketch filter over
it. 

Sigh.
