Pet Peeve #3:

When a potential client asks you to do several mock-ups for a project that will be starting within a week, and then you never year from them again, for over a year. Then, client comes back to you and expects you to remember every detail of every mock-up. When you dig out the old emails, re-send them, and the client claims to never have seen THOSE mockups. Scheduling a meeting with the client's new "web team" is the only solution.

Pet Peeve #4:

IT Managers that are supposed to be at meetings so they can discuss server platforms and scripting technologies for future projects, but they never show up. Nice. Instead they send an "assistant" with a tape recorder to record the meeting. Yeah. Nice. Um, no. Instead, I got wrong answers from the assistant, and then an email full of attitude from the IT Manager, telling me he's washing his hands of all of his current duties, including server hosting. "Buy a new server and put whatever you want on it, but I'm not touching it."

But, y'are, Blanche, y'are.

I don't live in that town 2 hours away and I'll be damned if I'm going to waste 4 hours every time a server belches.

Ok, so that's more than a pet peeve.
