I’m not terribly fond of the “noncommunicative” client. You hand over the project and that’s the last you’ll ever hear from them. Ever. No good feedback, no bad feedback. Nothing. They’re not even considered ghosts. Ghosts would at least say “boo” once in a while!

I’d add the “Hurry-up-and-waiter.” You know, the one who makes you work all night on a draft and then disappears for weeks without a trace?

I was once asked to write an informational booklet. The client showed my first draft to his entire board of directors and asked me to incorporate *all* the changes they suggested. Would have worked great if many of their ideas hadn’t been mutually contradictory! I managed to do the job but was so embarrassed by the finished product I won’t even list it on my resume.

I left the Information Technology field so that I woundn’t have to work at 3 AM if I didn’t want to. No way I’m going back to meeting some a$$bag’s demands in the middle of the night.
