What is the weirdest thing you ever got from one of your clients?

This is unbelievable...

About a month ago I met with a client who is starting a new business. During the meeting he had mentioned that he was clearing a lot to build on, and mentioned that he had excavators and bulldozers and other large equipment on site.

I jokingly told him that I had always wanted to find someone with an excavator because I want a birch tree for my yard, and if I had an excavator I could just dig one up instead of spending $60 at the local garden shop. He told me, "oh, well when I am clearing I'll save one for you!" and we laughed, and got back to the subject of his project.

He called this morning and said that he has the birch tree ready for me. LOL!

needless to say, i didn't attend... what a ****-up!!

I woke up one morning and found a bloody horses head at the foot of my bed from a client.

I got ticket to tour a 'House of Horrors' type of place once. (No, it wasn't a room full of secretaries pushing out Publisher files for prepress!)

Weirdest thing I ever got from a client? A tip from two Russians.

I wish tipping your designer was a standard practice. lol

I think the "no screwing in the hot tub" somebody here got is the strangest thing I have heard in a while.
My clients are just rude and boring...

An old customer of mine (Real Estate! - that should tell you). She was always giving me last minute changes on deadline day... she kept pushing the limit. When she went on vacation, back to her home in Australia she brought a t-shirt back for me that said "No Worries".
All I could do was laugh!
