I just got off the phone with some attorney who really sounded like a bit of an imbecile. Those are the guys who can't communicate their convoluted project , but they treat you like a moron because you can't understand the unfathomable bull**** they have presented you with. The only way to get rid of these blowhards is to tell them their work is too complex for you to understand. That always makes them feel smarter than you and gets them out of your hair pretty fast. I've been doing this a long time, I can smell a guy that you don't want to work for within a couple of minutes on the phone. I always go with that instinct now, because when I don't, I am invariably sorry I didn't.
Google really does attract a wide range of idiots. But we get a fair amount of work out of it nonetheless. Sometimes you do need your hip waders.
