"Client: “We’re trying to watch the DVD with the advert on but we can’t hear it. We’re really not happy. You need to bring a new DVD over asap.”
Me: “What are you playing the DVD on?”
Client: “My receptionist’s computer.”
Me: “Does it have speakers?”
Client: “No, will you send some over?”
Me: “No.”

Client [A California law firm]: “For the home page we’d like a photo of San Francisco. Lots of tall buildings, and it has to include the Golden Gate bridge.”
Me: “Sure, I can do that … but your offices aren’t in San Francisco.”
Client: “No, but we want people to think we are. It creates trust.”
hahahahahahahahah how ironic
omg haha
Client: “I want the site to be metallic and cool, like ‘blow your head off’ cool, like the Transformers”
Me: “This is for a wedding photography business, right?”
Client: “So? Optimus Prime can’t shoot a fracking picture?”
Dude the transformers one had me rolling.

A client once gave me some text which included a spelling error. Instead of saying “you spelled that wrong” I tried to be tactful about it. I said I wasn’t sure about the spelling so I looked it up in the dictionary and discovered that it was spelled differently. Then the client insisted that there was a typo in the dictionary and we had to go to press with the spelling mistake.

Client: “I know what people like. I’m around people all day and I watch people - like a student of human behavior - so I know what people like.”
Me: “Ok. What do you have in mind?”
Client: “What people like… Aligators and Hedgehogs.”
haha
Oh man. Some of the shit I've heard over the years from customers/clients is mind boggling. When I worked in the Ventura harbor for a while "excuse me, do the people who own the boats out in the harbor have to swim to the?" DEAD SERIOUS too. *jaw hits ground* I told her "only the ones that aren't connected to a dock" Lol

'alot' is not a word.
Client: “We really love the design! However, can you make our website less cutting-edge? Our clients aren’t really that good at using the Internet and won’t use all of the bells-and-whistles.”
Me: “What are you referring to specifically?”
Client: “We don’t need the login area. None of our customers will use that.”
Me: “OK, well it is an e-commerce store so I’m not quite sure how you’re going to get paid without being able to identify the client.”
Client: “Well, you’re the designer and you’ve done a great job so far so I’m sure you can figure something out. Look at Google! You don’t have to login to their site and they’re making tons of money!”
that is painful
When I read the title of the thread I thought Richard had a change of heart and started a Death Metal band.

Email from client: “What we really want is a function where the user visits our website and the instant they do so it fires up Microsoft Word on their computer and starts filling out an order form. We think we would get massive revenue this way.”
This man is a genius!

I think I've experienced like 95% of those (at least thematically, maybe not the exact same details).
Funny and sad-but-true.
UHH...
Client: “No one is reading the emails we sent them. Is there a way we can keep emailing them until they log into our site?”
Me: “No, that’s called spamming.”
[30 minutes later]
Client: “So can we keep sending emails to people until they respond?”
he wont stop spamming
