People screaming at me or complaining the whole time in person about the cost of everything.. the WHOLE session just puts me in the worst mood for sure. I can imagine its the same for you... people sometimes can never have fun no matter what. Doesn't matter what you do...they are never happy with anything!

I know what you mean though - you don't want to alienate potential clients, either, by thinking that you are just going to bitch about them on your blog. The fact is, I've only come across one guy that I really didn't enjoy working with. It wasn't an awful experience, it just wasn't enjoyable. In the end, we have to be cool with ourselves to be able to handle criticism. While it hurt my feelings, it also didn't spur a trip to the bathroom to purge the contents of my stomach - I know I'm ok. I get what you're saying about the random rudeness. It is much easier to just keep your guard up. I hate it when I'm reminded that I trusted someone when I shouldn't have. Much love and respect, Catalina It is obvious that you enjoy your work.

I think that in any work or in any life situation we all deal with assholes. I feel like many of us that have clients who are readers are really lucky but the random jerks still sift their way through. This is a brave post but it needs to be said.

I've gotten clients like that. It's like they call in a bad mood and are determined to have a bad call no matter what I do. Those calls are tough. Catalina-Thanks. I think it's the most frustrating when I've let my guard down with a client only to find that's when they get rude and nasty. Thank goodness for the great clients that balance them out. Ellie-Thank you. When the random jerks so sift in I try to remind myself of my great callers. And that all customer service work has asshole clients. That helps. LVC-I hear ya.
