In my case, when someone dont listen (think they know better) is the most frustrating thing I have to cope with. So many designs are destroyed by clients being 'smarter'! "Please make the font bold and pink" - this kind of things.... Sad thing is, they dont understand that the website we build is for the visitors not for them! Even if they pay, they pay for the website to make money or build potential customers and relationship, not for self-satisfaction and 'bad taste'. I try to stay away from the clients like this. Very good points Michelle!

I can so much identify with what you are saying. At one time or another I have had all the above happen. For me the absolute worst was a client who "knows everything about everything." As you said, you can advise, but they will not listen. I too have walked away - sometimes ran - from these people. I feel your pain.
