Reminds me strangely of an email repartee with someone at work.... :/

Still, very funny!

That's superb, most of the posts on that site raise a wry grin at least and that's one of the better ones.

Reminds me of an email we got the other day... would LOVE to post it but would probably get into trouble.

Basically this guy had been called about building a website for one of our companies, and was chasing our colleague to see if the board had made a decision and then flew into a rage stating that he would tell James Caan how inept his staff were!

I think he was just put out because he couldn't say that he had done work for JC... and not likely to, if he talks to his proposed clients in that way!

What an idiot.... found him on LinkedIn, the first line of his profile reads: "I was appointed as a lecturer, the youngest in the country, before I took my first degree finals." Arrogant much?!

Well it's because so many people do, if it didn't work they wouldn't keep asking

I know, but it's not the asking that annoys me it's the expectation that I should be bloody grateful for the opportunity and the surprise when I say...."Er..no thanks! You wanna use my work - you pay for it!"

I passed the first link on at work and a few others started reading other pages. Queue a fair bit of random laughter occurring throughout the office
