Web Design & Development Client Clichés

In 2003, with the help of our friends here at FlashKit - we came up with a list of common client & customer clichés & put them into a Flash Game to let everyone vent frustration by smacking around fictional clients with a rolled up contract.

It's 2007 now .. the world has Web 2.0, mobile apps, CSS that can do incredible things... clients who want a blog - but then ask you: "What's a Blog" in the same breath.

What Web Design & Development Clichés can you offer? We're updating the game for 2007 with the best posts. :)

what a stupid website,- doesn´t recognize my browser (not propper coded?)

renderhjs ~
Is that really the best you can do? A cheap shot in the form of a broken and uninformative sentence? How about both a little more tact and effort, man? You could at least mention what browser you are using so he can look into the problem if you are experiencing one.

opera 9.23, page tells me I have no flash
well sorry,- wans´t meant that way

Thanks RUSHVision .. beat me to the punch.

We'll check Opera 9.2x right now .. if you have any other info to help trap that error (RenderHJS) - we'd love to have it.

We have 8 designers & developers on staff .. and. .. I kid you not... rang a firebell we have and IM'd the link for everyone to hit with every browser we have in the office to double-check it again.

It's like a firehouse in here .. only less dramatic and life threatening.

Hmmm.... we cannot find problems with 9.0x - 9.23.

here's my broken and uninformative sentence: the game suck.

main reason being that I have no time to read, I have to slap slap slap ...wait, what it said?... err, losing points - slap slap slap!

if you present "Client Clichés" as essential part, let me read them. make time freezing bonus or something.

Ahhh.. grasshopper... then perhaps you miss the ever so subtle nuances and inner, deeper, hidden, secret meaning of the game.

The more you focus on the Clichés - the harder it is to control your clients (i.e. Smacking them down with a Contract) - and the more you lose from your project.

I don't know about the subtles and the inners but it was an entertaining game nevertheless..
