My personal nightmare is when they give you a tight deadline, no creative direction and... an unapproved script. That last one will put the nail in the coffin of most productions before they even start. Thankfully the occurrence of that scenario isn't frequent or I would start looking to join a monastery. "Ye holy order of St. Burnout" .

This is why I charge by the hour. Â The more work that clients off-load to me, the more indecisive, ill-prepared, and lousy at communication they are, the more money I make.
I usually only work on bids when I know the client and how much maintenance they are, or I’m desperate for work.
I tell first time clients that since I don’t know about their maintenance or work habits, my bid is 3 or 4X what I think the job will actually take.  I tell them it’s more in their interest to get organized and pay me by the hour.

I’m sure you know about brandsoftheworld dot com.  When I need a logo, and the client is clueless about vectors, I will mine their web site for PDFs, as about half the time, a vector logo is embedded in an annual report, job app, or press release.  But, I’ve also done a fair share of reverse engineering from a low res web banner.
