'It is exactly as she wanted': Designer gives nightmare client the "ugly" website design she insists on, then refuses to change design

This designer got stuck with a ceaseless micromanager. That's one way to make a job completely unpleasant.

A designer headed to the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit to share this eye-opening tale of an entitled client who got the website she deserved. With a client needing a website designed, it's typical for the designer to go back and forth with them numerous times. The designer will create a mockup, but the client will have just a few tweaks. Sometimes they'll say things like, "Wow, this looks perfect! I just have a few ideas, though…" From there, the designer has to try their best to convince the client to go with the website that looks professional and has a good user interface.

Some clients just cannot be reasoned with. They're their own worst enemies. They hire someone to make them a website, only to demand the worst changes possible. Why even pay someone to make your site for you if you're going to sabotage them at every turn?

Check out the whole story below, as well as a few comments from workers who've had the same type of micromanagement experience. Then, read about the woman who was so out of touch with reality that she called up a local grocery store and asked for 5 sheet cakes to be made for her to pick up immediately (and that was just the start!).
