Who/what is your nemesis and why? Clients who prefer something passable on-time and on-budget over something really good a couple of days late. People who contact you about some up coming work, mess you around for two months, and then it falls through. Clients who knock everything interesting out of a project and then complain that it's not very exciting. People who strongly impress upon you the need to complete something for the deadline, then insist on a weeks worth of changes afterwards..I could go on.
People who want stuff for free! I mean, what's that all about?
