Give me strength..

Picking up my emails at home today and this one jumped out.

"I am a designer and just came across your website. I love what your
doing. I designing a barbers in covent garden london at the moment
and was looking at perspects for the interior. I was thinking about
free standing walls to seperate sections. Is there any think you culd
recommend?"

I have to deal with people like this.

 

Delegate....
Apparently it's the art of management.

 

Edukashun, edukashun, edukashun. (or not, as the case may be).

No you don't, well not this one. Send him to some other supplier,
preferably a skanky one with fleas.

 

Non British national?

 

The days of good education have went...

 

Depends on whether you need his business and/or how much he's got to spend,
I suppose. If the answers are "not at all" and "not a lot" I suggest you
recommend English lessons.

 

It's a woman.

 

No, just some dim, chav bitch

 

+ 25/35% should cover the 'hassle factor'.

 

"has went" you thick anti-christ

 

The answer is this: Timewaster.

No matter how desperate you are for the work, avoid this type of
enquiry. People like this can waste incredible amounts of your time
and money.

She says that she's a "designer" but clearly, grammar & spelling
aside, doesn't have a design or any knowledge of the materials she's
thinking of using. I mean what type of qualified designer thinks
"perspects" is a product.

I will politely request a set of dimensioned drawings. That usually
kills it.

I'm sure, whatever the industry, UKRM has plenty of similar examples.

 

Damn right.

 

I shudder to think who you delegate stuff to, you daft **** ;-)

 

You could try replying to him in his own language asking for clarification.

You,
But apparently you can't handle stress so maybe time to retire *OLD* boy

 

LOL, I'm a little shy ...

 

I have to agree - that's wonderful. I did wonder if darsy had been
involved in the design of the site or development of some of the
terminology - just seemed to somehow point in his direction.
