You taking the P?

Me: "Have you come to a decision about the email hosting?"
Customer: "I'm waiting on xx to come back to me they do Websites as well"
Me: "OK but what about the email are they going to host that too?"
Customer: "Oh I didn't ask"
Me: "But when we spoke last week about the fact you was not currently paying us to host your email yet getting email hosting services you said thats why you was going to ring xx"
Customer: "Ah, well I'm hoping they will ring back today"
Me: "OK listen Jon I'll ring you Tuesday of next week shall I?"
Customer: "Well as you know I'm semi retired I wont be in until Wednesday and then I'm off to Florence for a week"
Me: "Well I need to get this resolved, you are in fact getting a service for free at the moment I'm sure if I asked you to start transporting stuff around the country without any payment you wouldn't be very happy?"
Customer: "Erm no not really I'll ring you as soon as I know"

So basically he is getting a service for *free* he thinks its OK to continue to get that for free while he finds an alternative supplier and just to add insult to injury while wiggling out of paying "I'm off to Florence for a week" and people say I have no shame!

Give me your supplier.

Customer: "I see you have some Windows 7 pro laptops for sale, can you do them any cheaper?" Me: "I'm afraid not, we put very little markup on them and as they are refurbished they are very reasonably priced anyway." Customer:  "Seeing as it's pro I take it they come with Word and Excel?" Me: "I'm sorry, why would Pro mean that? No that is just the operating system, Office will be extra" Customer:  "What? They're not much use without Word." Me: "As I said, you can have Word/Office for an additional cost." Customer:  "Can you tell me where you buy them from please?" Me: "I'm afraid not." Customer:  "Why not?" Me: "Two reasons, one they only sell to Trade and two, why would I tell you that so that you go to them direct?" Customer:  "You're very rude?" Me: "I'm sorry you feel that way, I think we will leave it there. Goodbye."

I've been doing an email template for a flier a customer wants to send, I've been doing it for two days now. Customer: "Its a bit big isn't it?" Me: "What do you mean big? I'm using the images you gave me, they'll determine the overall size in a sense." Customer: "I wasn't expecting it to be that size." Me: "Right I can resize everything but that means starting all over." Customer: "Can you make the font in the text box the same as the font on the images?" Me: "What font is it?" Customer: "I dunno I thought you would." Me: "But they are your images, hang on let me rummage around in my trousers I'm sure I have a crystal ball down there!" Customer: "Oh, erm, try Ariel" Luckily I know the guy, Muppet.
