I was blessed to have to deal with this phonecall yesterday:
Stranger: I want to get some brochures printed up
Me: Okay, what does your brochure look like ? is it full color? Just b/w? Does it have pictures?
Stranger: Yes, there are some words and {blah blah blah} and some pictures {blah blah blah}
Me: And how many are you thinking of printing?
Stranger: I don't know, it depends on your "price breaks"...about 500, or maybe 5,000.
[at this point I tried to get rid of her, but then...]
Stranger: I have this file on my computer, but I can just print it out and give it to you.
Me: You mean you want us to scan your print-out? It doesn't quite work that way ? it would look terrible {blah blah blah}...what program have you set this up in? {I know what's coming next}
Stranger: Uhhh...it's in...um...Windows...a Windows page file. I don't have enough floppy disks to save it on, so you'll have to scan it.
Me: Okay, so it's a Microsoft Word or Publisher file? We can accept emailed files or FTP uploads.
Stranger: But you can't just scan my print-out?
Me: {I then wrote down her information and passed it on to the Boss ? I can't deal with this shite!}
