 A couple weeks ago a client called upset about poor performance on my behalf. So, he thought. Basically, he wanted to have his cake and eat it too. When I explained the reality of not being able to have cake and eat it, he flipped out. He is used to bullying his young staff and thought he could bully me into changing reality. Realizing the insanity of the client, I said, "You know what? I'm terminating this relationship?" "What? I'm the client! You can't...", he started screaming. I held the phone away from my ear and hesitated a moment. I've never had a client scream at me. Most of the time it's all just love and money. Well, at least money and more work. I hung up and sent him an email canceling his contract, and forfeiting the remaining fees he owed. He called back. I picked up the phone and asked, "Are you going to be civil now or do you just want to scream?" "Who do you think you are? I'm the client and I'll yell if I want. "No. This relationship is over." I said again. "Why you c*ck sucker mother f*cker!" he screamed. I hung up He called again, but I turned the ringer off. He sent a flurry of hostile emails which I archived in the event we wind up in court. I went home and forgot about him until the other day when I was thinking of something to write. Now, having remembered the moment, I would like to answer his question, with no professional decorum. "Who do I think I am? I'm OG you fat f*ck. And, that means if you want your cake and eat it too, fish it out of the toilet and eat it again for all I care. Now, piss off and remember my favorite quote : "Peace is a personal thing. F*ck with mine and I'll kill you." - F. Nino OG |
