Dev: Hey, I need you to see something.
Client: ok
Dev: this is the models of those reports you need
Client: ok, wait, what is that number? This is wrong, we can't...
Dev: hey, calm down, this is not the production, it's just fake database!
Client: ah, ok.
(5 minutes of explantion)
Dev: so, what do you think?
Client: just one point, that data is very very wrong, we need to change this ASAP!

    I find it helps to use the actual numbers when showing your work (if you can), it eliminates the mental leap clients have to make to understand properly.

    @DLMousey to me it sounds more like the client is not very technically versed

    @knuppelsmurf I find it helps to use completely preposterous numbers. If you use realistic ones for a business model you aren't fully versed in then it's easy to get small things wrong which will still make the client react thusly.

    @slaat you don't have to be technically versed to understand the concept of "example".

    I really hate when people say things like " oh, I don't know computers very well, that's why I couldn't do it" and something completely unrelated to knowing anything about computers to understand... People are just plain stupid.

    Nothing personal, just ended ranting a little here 😂

    This happens to me way more than I'd like. I don't understand why clients can't understand the difference between "production data" and "test data". I mean, seriously, how hard is it?!

    This happens all the time with my clients. Lorem ipsum, dummy data, placeholder images, prototypes.

    I have yet to meet a client that didn't get hung up on the data while reviewing the UI and concept.

    Would ++ more if I could
