Client: “What browser?”

Website user who couldn’t find an article emailed our help desk. We sent him the link to the content he couldn’t find.

Me: “Unfortunately some of the images you sent over cant be used as they are the wrong file type.”
Client: “Oh, okay. Which files?”
Me: “The animated GIFs.”
Client: “So why can’t they be used for the brochure?”

Client: “Why is the text slanty?”
Me: “It is in italics.”
Client: “No, it is slanty.”
Me: “It’s called italics.”
Client: “I don’t care what you call it, make it stop.”

One of my favorite hobbies is art. I love sharing my work with everybody, and what better way to do that than by using the internet.
