Anyone Else Starving?

A client and I are talking about a fancy image border.

Client: “I really don’t like it. We have a lot of work to do on this one. This looks too much like tagliatelle. It’s really, really wrong. I want it to be more like spaghetti. It is very important.”

Me: “All right, we’ll give it another try.”

After a small round of feedback with really minor, almost unnoticeable revisions, the client calls me crying.

Client: “No. No. First, you show me a whipped cream cake, and now you want me to agree with this pumpkin pie? I don’t want pumpkin pie. I want cake! I want it back the way it was, but please pay attention this time: spa-ghe-tti.”
