Sure. There was this client who would always give feedback like 'I don't like it, make it better' without any specific details. The designer was left guessing what exactly needed to be improved. It was really frustrating as it felt like walking in the dark.
A difficult client story is when a client expected a high - quality, complex design but was only willing to pay a very low price. The designer tried to explain the cost involved in creating such a design, but the client just wouldn't budge.

One horror story involves a client who demanded that the designer work on their project immediately, dropping all other work. The designer complied, but then the client disappeared for days without giving any feedback or communication.

One horror story is when a graphic designer had to deal with a client who constantly changed their mind. The designer worked for weeks on a logo, presenting multiple versions.

Well, I heard about a cashier who had a customer who was just plain rude. The customer was on their phone the whole time while the cashier was trying to ring up their items. When it came time to pay, the customer got annoyed that the cashier asked for their attention to complete the payment. The customer then started to insult the cashier, saying things like they were slow and stupid. It was really unfair to the cashier who was just doing their job.
There was a designer who was given a very tight deadline to complete a complex website design. They worked day and night to meet the deadline. But just when they were about to submit, their computer crashed and they lost some important files. They had to start from scratch and it was a really horrible experience for them.
Sure. There was a client who had really bad body odor. It was so strong that it made the massage therapist feel nauseous. Despite the therapist trying to be professional, it was really hard to focus on the massage. Another case was a client with dirty feet who came for a foot massage. The feet were caked with dirt and it was quite off - putting.
Sure. Take Paul Rand for example. He is a very successful graphic designer. His works are known for simplicity and strong visual impact. He designed logos for many well - known companies like IBM. His use of simple geometric shapes and bold colors made the logos highly recognizable and timeless.
Well, there was this one case where a travel nurse got a patient who was constantly trying to harm himself. The nurse had to be on high alert all the time.

One client's horror story could be that Rimini Street promised to provide 24/7 support. But when the client had a major system outage in the middle of the night, it took hours for Rimini Street to even respond. And when they did respond, the technicians seemed ill - equipped to handle the situation quickly. This led to a long and painful recovery process for the client, with significant downtime and loss of productivity.
There was a case where a designer worked on a logo for a company. After presenting the final design, which the client had approved throughout the process, the client used the logo for a while and then sued the designer, claiming it was too similar to another logo.

Sure. A server once had a customer who changed their order multiple times. After the food finally arrived, the customer said they didn't like it and demanded a different meal for free.

In my call center, there was a co - worker who was always negative. He would constantly complain about the job, the customers, and the management. It really brought down the morale of the whole team. He would also spread rumors and create a lot of unnecessary drama, which made the work environment very unpleasant.
