CLIENTS.
I found this very amusing article online about "The 12 Breeds of Clients and How To Work with Them."
#1. The Low-Tech Client. (I personally have a rule now where I stopped working with people who don't have computers on their desks. There are people who's assistants print out their emails and have it read to them if you can believe that.)
#2. The Uninterested Client.
#3. The Hands-On Client. (The one that asks "Sooo, what do you think of the font you chose.")
#4. The Paranoid Client. (The one where you have to sign 14 NDAs before you can know what it is you're being asked to do.)
#5. The Appreciative Client.
#6. The Get-A-Good-Deal Client.
#7. The I'll-Know-It-When-I-See-It Client.
#8. The Always Urgent Client. (Not so bad because you can always charge rush fees!)
#9. The Decision-By-Committee Client. (You know, the one that showed the logo to their vet's babysitter to get their opinion on it.)
#10. The Doormat Client.
#11. The Budget Client.
#12. The You-Should-Be-So-Lucky Client.
Thankfully, none of OUR clients fall into these categories. (ahem.)

#13. The I'm-A-Designer-Too client. (Clients who are too stubborn to give you full creative freedom because they took Art for a semester in college.)
well... #3 (the Hands-On Client)... IMO - to have the designer reason for why he picked the specific typeface is not to much to ask for!!
Yeah, this probably the only reason I can think of that I appreciate the existence of shitty freelance graphic designers. They deal with all the neurotic cheap people I and other highly educated and legitimate designers don't or rarely have to deal with...
