Sad, but true... So true.

I'll be forwarding this to a few "special" clients.

Thanks Ivan.

Good god...I've think I've been subjected to every one of these characters. Can I please, please, please get the big brute of a chef to deal with assholes!

Nice one, Ivan.
Cheers.

Okay, I'm still new but...If we all stuck together. You know there will always be someone who will low bid. This just allows clients to get "used" to low balling. Some f the freelance sites are painful to read - $1.00 per 400 word article, $25.00 for a logo. My answer, you get what you pay for. This video is great!
Thanks

Though I've got a good one, too:

"No."

"Maybe you need a high school student to design it for you. Me, it's taken my whole life to figure out how to design a logo intelligently, concisely, with the appropriate amount of nuance. And I just want to be compensated fairly for it."
