“Your portfolio is pink, I hope you are not homosexual”

clientsfromhell:

After having a quite pleasant phone conversation with a client and discussing a proposed strategy for moving forward, they told me they hope I was not homosexual, because my site looked a “bit gay” with the pink.

I wrote off the hour and a half on the phone and did not proceed with any more negotiations.

My submission got through!

This happened to me a few years ago. I had a lot of comments to me over the years on the pink of my portfolio (I only have a dash at the moment; I need to add more) but I never felt so insulted. It was partly to do with the tone.
