OMG I can so relate.

Add this to your list: Well, the software is free, why should I pay for mods, plugins or a custom design?

Me: because my time and work are not free.

Well the software is free! I can get a theme free from [so and so]

Me: So go there and get a free theme.

I’ll just stick with the free since the software is free.

Me: Fine. Good luck and have a nice day.

nice list, “I have printed it out, but the animated GIF is not moving?” … lol

I have had clients ask say:

“could we could have a print button for the sample creams, so people can smell them without ordering”

“when someone types in google, I want my website to come up instead”
