Offseason lulz

[Flex Gunmetal]

Hope it's not a repost.

Story goes : Shannon (the secretary) has lost her cat and has asked David (the graphic designer) to help with a lost poster. This is their email correspondence...Read from top to bottom….

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Thats just stupid. Can you do it properly please? I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. you seem to think it is funny. Can you make the photo bigger please and fix the text and do it in colour please. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.

Regards, David.

This is worse than the other one. can you make it so it shows the whole photo of Missy and delete the stupid text that says missing missy off it? I just want it to say Lost.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
Regards, David.

[Boobs McGee]

hahhaahaa that's hilarious! When he did the Lost movie poster, I seriously had tears in my eyes.

Good stuff

[SonOfLe-loLang]

That guy is really funny. He has a book out full of this stuff

[OABB]

I love these things usually, but I can't say I enjoyed this one as much. If I lost my cat, I wouldn't appreciate someone making a joke out of it that has offered to help. In fact, it would make me very murdery.

[Mr.Meanie]

"NO REWARD" hahaha

[Chris]

That is awesome.

[TheReverend]

Very well played by that guy. I'd be raging if I were her though.

[LRtagger]

buahahhahahahhaa

[Tombstone RJ]

I'm a smart ass myself but I know when to give it a rest. This guy first complains about other deadlines he has to make and then wastes a whole lot of time jacking around with these posters. Yah, it's funny but not really.

Yeah I had a good belly laugh when I scrolled and saw the lost poster.

[Los Broncos]

Haha , it was funny at first but then he took it to far.

[Pseudofool]

I especially like the bit about getting a better cat out of it.

[KipCorrington25]

That guy is kind of a dick.

I would be angry myself, but this woman is a tool.

Thanks for posting I was laughing out loud.

Completely separate but greatest soccer celebration ever

Speaking of Off Season lulz, I found out what Mock has been up to.

i missed where he offered to help? he said he was busy and i took the rest as smart assy not offering to help, she kept pushing and asking for help.

[HILife]

That was great. The big cat and Lost ones were the best.

He got my vote.

[jhns]

lol I don't get why you would keep asking for help after the first reply or two. I probably would continue asking just to see the response I got but I would also already be looking some other place for real help.

More of the design trolls from the guy in the OP.

Just read through a few more and they all seem to be generally hilarious
