Vent like a deep-sea volcano 
J. got this link from The Presurfer and sent it along to me: Clientcopia, a collection of stupid client quotes.
There's no getting around it. At some point in your career, your patience will be tested with a client who is so clueless that you'll question your sanity, career choice, and the future of mankind.

You may have dealt with one already, one that just stuns you like a deer in headlights. Dumbfounded to utter anything but an "uhhh…".

[...]

Clientcopia was created to give you an escape. Take joy in knowing you are not alone.
There are 153 quotes as of right now, and you can submit your own. I contributed this one, from—of course—our designated Client From Hell:
We were typesetting a book for a client, and sent them a sample PDF of a typeset page. Client, in a panic: "This looks awful! The proportions are all wrong! It's the wrong size!"

Yes, that would be because they want a 9" x 6" book, but they printed the sample on 8½" x 11" paper.
There, I do kinda feel better now...
