Last week
Customer: I want <totally useless app idea that already exists>, how long will it take to build it?
Me: I think such an app already exists, but according to your requirements I believe we could finish it around May 6th.
Customer: OK, but our app will be so much better.
-finishes meeting and signs contract-

Monday
Customer: will the app be done soon?
Me: as we discussed in the meeting last week, it won’t be done until May 6th.

Tuesday
Customer: will the app be done soon, when will it be in the app stores?
Me: As I explained yesterday, it won’t be finished before May 6th.

Wtf????

    Wednesday: is it done yet?
    You: it will be done may 8th. It would've been the 6th, but you won't leave me alone to actually make any progress.

    @deadPix3l haha, that’s how it is! Sadly some people think everything is magic and it’s done yesterday...

    @crowdsurfer well of course! Computers are magic, and magic doesn't have a timeline! Programmers are magicians. And this waiting and timelines. It's just them being greedy, keeping all the magic for themselves!

    ah the drama when the customer will get the bill. "Why do I have to pay $80'000 for a stupid app? How could you do that to me?"

    What I liked best about "totally useless app idea that already exists": although it is totally useless, never the less somebody else already had to build it before!
