Things you wanted to say to frustrating clients, but didn’t.

Well, you still haven’t been able to fabricate that piece of paper.

To the customer who asked me, “You can’t get it done in less than four weeks?” after I had sent him the deposit invoice and he hadn’t gotten his part done — sending the check — in more than six weeks.

Woulda Coulda Shouldas are collected from the Signs of the Times Brain Squad and shared anonymously.
