    Love this!

  • SeabrookAnimations

    A video of my life :/

  • 7dmv

    People are always wanting to negotiate my price for creating custom recordings and weddings down. How cheap! If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.

  • TechnicalTidbits

    I can relate way too much!

  • TechnicalTidbits

    I can relate too well!

  • shortdwarfcom

    we might make this required reading for every client we deal with from now on! it goes along with the recent “google it until they find the cheapest price,” buy it at walmart or have it made in china mentality, disregarding quality or service. it’s killing prosperity. :-(

  • pdahandyman

    Can we re-post this video and change the title to “How to get really expensive services for free!” then just about every IT client I’ve ever had to work with would watch it thinking they were getting advice on how to screw us over.

    I fear they’d simply not identify with it, though. Just like the person who has crashed 3 cars in as many years who says they are an excellent driver.

    As a designer of custom homes, I’ve had to endure this fetid sense of entitlement from a wretched few clients. You learn, tighten up the contract, enforce it, and move on from these pathetic sh*theads.

  • TDRock8

    Painfully accurate. lol!

  • ryder187mac

    The 100 people who disliked this identified themselves in the “customer”

  • MechaPenguin

    I would of loved to have seen the outcomes of the other 2 but excellent vid!

  • duanescot

    I deal with high tech customers day in, and day out, and while this video is supposed to be a joke, people make these EXACT arguments nearly word for word, the sense of entitlment people in business have is UNBELIEVABLE, whoever created this NAILED the vendor customer relationship like I’ve never seen before. Its because of stuff like this, is why i think working in an office can lead to an early death over things like being a cop, dealing with people like this will drive you to an early grave

    @Coco182008 You DEFINATELY need to open a dictionary and look up the word DEFINITELY.

  • worthywads

    “But you can feature it in your portfolio so we both benefit!” Yeah… my portfolio is already full of work I got paid for.

  • sylverweddings

    I have this posted on my website – wwwsylverweddingscom – as it is EXACTLY what every client I deal with seems to ask about. Yes, I get fewer calls, but my turnover percentage has skyrocketed! I no longer am getting the calls from the Clients who think that just covering my Hardcosts is acceptable, so about 90% of the calls I do get now are booking, they are the ones that know the costs are worth every penny, and find the video hilarious too!!!

  • bayXSonic

    A little short but good =)

  • telecomladyj

    BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

  • telecomladyj

    @ryder187mac Totally agree with you. Any thinking individual in business knows that this is spot-on!

  • kkcfd13

    We’re not the taco stand!!!
    lol

  • Coco182008

    @bayXSonic whatever, learning english to perfection is not on my “to do list” as long as i only use it on the internet. sry, not everyone lives in usa/uk.

  • gororoth

    I run through this every day, every fucking day. I work as real estate agent, and every day there is a client that calls with “I want you to sell/lease my property but I will not pay you your commission!” unfuckingbeliavable !!! like we are meant to work for free.

    Imagine you go to the grocery store and you want to buy a bread but you say you will pay only for the materials cause you don’t care about the bread maker’s work and you didn’t make him make this bread?!?!

  • babykittymama

    this is sooooooo funny!

  • healingv1sion

    hahaha cheap people

    also stop trying to pull that shit on people who don’t own the business; I don’t give a fuck if you can’t afford this right now–I CAN’T DO SHIT ABOUT IT.

  • psymansays

    That’s so true… Every business I’ve worked in has had clients just like that.

  • serresjio
