Our clients are not annoying, but some of them are far more immersed in the details than others.
I can't very well tell a client I'm using Bitsybox for their site if your site labels them as "annoying clients".
People use services to solve problems. Some problems demand that level of focus to get it right fast. If you don't take their wants/needs seriously, why would they take you seriously? They are paying you, not the other way around, (and even in that case, it's a bad idea to treat people like that).
I see what you're trying to do, but it's coming across as "if you wear a tie and need it right and right now, you're an uptight jerk". Perhaps they are, perhaps they're not, but you're doing yourself no favors by pointing it out.
Also note that people with those requirements are the most likely to pay a lot for satisfaction; they might be the most profitable segment of your client's customer base.
We showed the video to just a handful of freelance developers, so we really didn't focus too much on the perspective of the clients.
We're planning to make some changes to the video this weekend. Thanks guys.
Come to think of it, that might be one reason why YC seems to be having good luck teaching programmers about business; we're more used to adjusting our views to reality than most professions. So just think of it as a syntax error that you've found and fixed.
