You’ve likely encountered toxic people like this.
The Unreasonable Demander: A small boutique clothing store had a customer who would come in regularly, try on numerous outfits, and then demand special discounts for each item. She would threaten to leave negative online reviews if her demands weren’t met, and her behavior created tension among the staff. Despite the store’s efforts to accommodate her, she continued her demanding behavior, impacting staff morale and overall customer experience.
The Eternal Complainer: A freelance graphic designer took on a client for a logo design project. Despite presenting several high-quality concepts, the client consistently found flaws and requested revisions. The client's feedback was often vague and contradictory, making it impossible for the designer to meet their expectations. After months of revisions, the client still wasn't satisfied, and the project had to be terminated, resulting in lost time and income for the designer.
