Someone’s Starting To Seem Superfluous

I’m a video editor. I was working on a project for a client who is an amateur videographer (which means he films his family’s weddings).

I sent him the first draft, and instead of sending back comments, he re-edited the entire video and changed all of the graphics to white text on black.

Client: “Edit it just like that.”

Of course, at that point, not only had he created tons more work for me, as I had to go through and figure out what he’d cut, but also, why did he even have me do this project?
