I had a client call this morning, panicking about an ‘urgent’ document they needed. After some back and forth, it turns out they just wanted me to print a comic strip for them. Let’s just say my face was worth a thousand words when I found out — it took all I had not to laugh during the call. Anyone else ever had a similar experience?
That’s so relatable! I’ve had clients pull me into wild goose chases too. Ever considered charging for ‘emergency comedy requests’?

I’ve totally had clients ask for the weirdest things at like 9 AM!
Ever thought about creating a ‘comedy request’ form? Might help set those expectations right.
How wild is it to think about something so trivial becoming an ‘urgent’ request? Maybe we should start charging extra for all the comic printing or throw in a ‘joke fee’ for these requests to keep things light! @l_sanders89, what do you think about that? It could save us from those unexpected calls at 9 AM.
