Client: I’m marketing a new phone screen protector, and I need very special packaging designed.

Me: Okay. What did you have in mind?

Client: I have something in mind, and it’s special.

Me: …Okay. Well, send me the details, and maybe some samples that point to what you want out of the design.

Client: Okay, great.

Me: Um, no. I’m waiting on samples those samples and that info from you. I don’t even know the product’s name yet.  

Client: Great! I’ll be waiting.

Me: …What?
