I set up, designed, and maintained a vanity blog for a bored, wealthy middle-aged woman.  After a few months she wanted analytics installed.

Client: You installed my analytics wrong.

Me: I’m sorry. Is it not tracking anything?

Client: It’s only tracking a couple of people.

I sign in and look to see everything working fine.

Me: I’m showing four page loads this week.  It seems to be tracking just fine.

Client:  Well it’s not. My husband says he reads it every day, and all of his employees do too. So do my friends and neighbors. And the other day, I went to Florida, and everyone there said they were reading it too! 

Knowing there is no way out of this conversation…

Me: I’ll take a look at it.

There’s no easy way to say “all your loved ones are lying to you.”
