About a year ago I took on a client who was, by far, the king of micromanagement. Unfortunately for me, he was also the king of indecisiveness. For 2 weeks straight he spammed me non stop (I'm talking 30 minute intervals here) asking if his 3 page site is done yet. Normally, I could have knocked it out in about 3 hours or so, but every time I presented him with what he asked for, he changed his mind and wanted something completely different. 12 completely redesigned sites later he told me he was going to find someone else who could produce what he wanted. The only thing I could say was "No problem, but take some time and actually decide on what it is you want before you go wasting another designers time and money". The only upside to this story is I had 12 unique templates that I was able to sell off and make back some of what I lost due to the time wasted.
