Hulleye Comes By!

inspired by umar’s post on doublespeak, here’s a few quotes of the day speaking on behalf as an account rep.

When they say, “The client wants to move in a new direction…”
They mean, “I want to move in a new direction…”

When they say, “The client believes your idea may be detrimental to their business.”
They mean, “I have no idea what your idea means. Does it have like, science or something?”

When they say, “The client still hasn’t come to a decision on that yet.”
They mean, “I forgot to call the client. Again.”

When they say, “This is a rush project.”
They mean, “I just found this folder behind my desk. It’s been there since last September.”

When they say, “This project requires your utmost attention.”
They mean, “I haven’t read the client’s briefing. You do it.”

When they say, “I need some time to look this over.”
They mean, “I want to surf porn in my office.”

When they say, “Let’s regroup to discuss this.”
They mean, “I’d rather blather on than do a lick of work.”

When they say, “You didn’t follow this project to specs.”
They mean, “I didn’t take notes in the meetings, this project is fucked and somehow I’m going to pin it on you.”

When they say, “This will have to go through the legal department while I’m on vacation.”
They mean, “The client will be getting sued for my stupidity, so I’m leaving town ASAP.”

When they say, “That answer doesn’t sit well with me.”
They mean, “I had Taco Bell for lunch.”
