My favorite was always when you would go through the long discussion with a customer as to why you need a .eps file or .ai file in vector format in order to avoid the need of charging an art fee to vectorize their graphic.
"Oh, sure, I can send you an eps. Not a problem!"
Then you open the file and it's the same low resolution .jpg they sent you to begin with, this time embedded into the .eps.
Or better yet... the few times they just changed the extension of the file to .eps.
There are some things I miss about being out of this business (only two months left on my non-compete!) but dealing with some customers I don't miss for a second.
