clients are abstract

this is list of bizzare things my clients have said (you could add your own experiences):
1) "could you please make the white colour a little whiter?"

2) (there's not elec in my office and the client desperately needs a file to be mailed) "ashwin, do something, copy the data onto a cd and mail it from a cyber cafe."

3) "ashwin, talk about our services subtely, but highlight it."

4) (it's 8pm) "ashwin, this job is very urgent. i need it by 10am tomorrow. and don't charge us for it."

5) "we have lost the bill. could you please send a fresh one?" (that was the fifth time in a row)

6) "make the logo big!"

7) "the CTA should be bigger!"

8) (a brief for a direct mailer) "we need to make a DM. ashwin, make a good one."

9) "ashwin, use colours like green, orange, maybe add violet here and some golden shade here...you are the creative guy, you should give me ideas." (this client was talking about designing a CORPORATE brochure)

the white logo whiter bit is legendary material..
how bt this one..
• "Lets take the user to 2 pages on one clickthru button!"
• (after campign gets approved..client in a hurry to see hoardings up..says : "let the approved creatives go into print na.. artworks can always happen later"

How 'bout this:
client replies back to an html attachment saying "This html is approved. Kindly mail me the html"
