I met some such clients, but with some experience you will learn how to recognize the worsts and stay away from doing any business with them.

All part of life.

If you havent had clients from Hell by now the bet is you will at sometime in your business lifetime you will.

Learn NOW how to deal with them, so that you are prepared.

I agree

A woman I used to work for had THE original client from hell - not only did he used to ring up and give us abuse over the phone for absolutely no reason at all, she once went round to his house as he wanted her to pick up some work for him and he had no pants or underwear on....

Why on earth she put up with him I'll never know... although the business was in dire straits (she used it as her personal shopping account and it was in huge debt) I guess she didn't have much choice!!

Encountered such a client before. I was initially shocked, but later on I was thankful I learned from the guy. I would know how to deal with such people later on in life.
