A few may know that I'm a designer / marketing type person. Here's an email exchange from someone who was asked to provide his design time for free.

He introduces the page thus:
Please design a logo for me. With pie charts. For free.
I quite like Simon, he is like the school teacher that would pull you aside after class and list, for an hour, every negative aspect of your personality and why you will never get anywhere while you nod and pretend to listen while thinking about how tight Sally Watts jeans are and wishing you were at home playing Choplifter on the family's new Amstrad.
I worked with Simon for a while at a small agency. He was employed to bring in new clients yet somehow managed to be there for several months without bringing in a single one before leaving to pursue his own projects. The lack of new clients may possibly be attributed to his being too busy writing angry emails to other staff such as "When I worked at Olgilvy in Hong Kong, everyone called me Mr Edhouse and said that I was doing a great job. The secretary there did not call me a wanker or have her grotty old g-strings poking out the top of her fat arse making me feel ill." which I found much more entertaining than having to do the work new clients would have entailed.
It is very funny.
