So I sit on MSN, and I get the pop-up that someone wants to add you. So I accepted. It was a hosting company, wanting me to do work for a nice reseller plan. They also would throw in 15$ because I didnt need a domain. So anyway, he points me to a site he likes and wanted somthing like it. I said sure no problem. After a couple color revisions he says he doesnt like it. I said no problem, did you want the same colors as the other site? He said no. So I continued working on other color combos, nothing worked for him. So I said why dont you sit down and take the night and think about what you like and what colors you would like to use. He said no... He said you are the designer. I said yes, but you are giving no help at all to what you want. He said that is because I am the designer and he is not... I mean come on, I tried 9 diffrent color combos, ranging with all diffrent colors. Still he had NO IDEA of what colors he wanted. Anyway he said to refund his 15$ and to not worry about it. Im like, so I just spent almost 2 hours with you. Trying my best to work with you on what you want, you gave absolutly no help. Now you want me to refund this 15$? I laughed.

I went to find out this was a 16 year old kid. I am kind of happy it didnt work out anyway, I could only imagine how the support with the hosting is. I guess I need to do some back ground checks BEFORE I agree to work with someone.

/end rant

Some people these days... I'm actually a teen myself and I also have confronted teens of this type on the web. They're like they will give me $xxx amounts of money via PayPal if I can design their website for them. I work with them for a few days and then boom. They disappear. My time completely wasted.

Ya, its really sad. They seem to give the entire age group the bad rep, just from a few of the bad ones out there, because there are definatly some good teens that come through with what they say. I know I was one of them.

That is a real shame, and it's disappointing to see these few bad people give the entire age group a bad reputation.
However I do recommend checking who you are working for before you start the job, just so you can be sure if they will be worth working for.
Just out of curiosity, what was the host you were working for?
