From the 'I wish this weren't the truth' department
Web designer David Grenier's,
Phrases guaranteed to make web developers want to kill you.
A small sampling...

'I was looking at this other site and it was cool. Can you make mine look like that?'
'Can’t you just build it and I’ll write the content later?'
'I’m not sure what I want, I just want it to be cool.'
'My cousin is a webmaster. He built my band’s webpage. It looks really cool too.'

Sadly every web designer has heard these requests and more. If you are/were a client of mine, know that I love/loved doing business with you and please note that Mr. Grenier's experiences don't reflect the same kind of relationship that you and I have. You should still read his article though. It's rare when you get a chance to see exactly what is at the root of anyone's particular job frustrations.
