the more you tell them there's a problem and they have to wait, the more they give you hard time about when it's going to be finished...perhaps the most annoying kind of human beings.
some mother fcuker completly ruined my day because of it..ahh

well, some client had to wait longer than usual, because there were some documents missing, and i had other stuff to do before i could get to his case so he was coming to office every 15 minutes giving me hard time about it..

When people like that ask for 'constant progress updates', even when there's nothing new to report, I just don't return their calls or emails. When they finally get hold of me, my excuse for not returning their calls is, 'sorry, I've been so busy fixing your problem I haven't had a chance to take calls. Nothing to report, but I'm still working on it.' After they get that 3/4 times, they tend to take the hint and STFU.
Of course, it's only ethical to do that if you actually are working on fixing the problem. If you genuinely haven't had time, tell them so. Invariably, they'll complain to your manager about it and then use that as an argument for greater resource/support in your depatment.

yeah, i was definitely working on it, but it just took way longer than usual (because it wasn't all up to me)..and i wouldn't be bothered if he'd be calling or emailing me, but he came in the office every 15 minutes..he got pissed off at me, and in the end i got pissed off at him and that was that..ruined day for both of us and all over nothing..

It wasn't a story or even an anecdote as it didn't relate to any single (or particular series of) events. If anything, it was simply an explanation of my modus operandi in relation to that particular problem, every time it occurs.
How do you deal with overly-persistent clients, bill?
Tolstoyed: That is a real pain if he kept coming into the office to talk to you about it.

i get this all the time at work... i do graphic design... and work on a lot of jobs on one day... then somebody comes in and wants me to do a font change on something... i tell them "ok... come back in a couple of hours and i'll have it ready.' they're like... "oh no... i need it now!"... i'm like... "you know i'm working on other i need it now jobs?"... then they start getting all fussy... but with my bosses spineless ways... they customer always get what they want... and i'm pissed off for the rest of the day.
