Don't Design Angry

Posted by samzenpus on from the charting-contempt dept.

If it's true the story is simple. According to David, Simon hires David to design a logo and make some graphs. Simon never pays him but asks for extra work for free. A truly hilarious email exchange ensues. According to Simon, Dave is a raving lunatic and a liar.

    Seriously, this guy is epic. But I don't know if I would have burned that bridge. It sounds like he was told that the previous work was going to be paid for if the deal worked out, which it didn't. Rather than saying no I think I would have asked for money up front, including enough to justify hours lost on the other project that didn't pan out.
    I mean, if this guy were to do the work without cash up front he'd be a noob. There's just not enough information there to say if he threw away a paying job or mocked some imbecile that was just wasting his time.

  2. Emails from Crazy People by eldavojohn · · Score: 2, Informative

    I must confess, I have wasted hours reading Emails from Crazy People. It's one of those addictive blog sites like Texts from Last Night or Failblog. Anyway, I think this article deserves to be submitted to Emails from Crazy People. Anyways, for those of you that enjoyed the little exchange betwixt Simon & David, Emails from Crazy People is for you.
