Hi all, we are writing an article for an online design publication (will post a link when it goes live) and are looking for…

“the most amusing, funny, frustrating or ridiculous client requests/expectation that any of you have been asked for.”

This can be from any field of design you like and we know there are loads on the net but we are looking for original and preferably genuine ones! Thank you all!
Please NO NAMING people on the network! :P

Got an e-mail.

We don’t have a PayPal, but since we own a potato chips company, are you interested in vouchers?

@enabled… No really?!

We had “what we want is a double-sided email newsletter online” recently…

We have had a few from other communities and while I knew these people were out there some of the ones we are getting are actually shocking but yours is def the leader for most bizarre so far! Thank you for your input!
