It reminds me of this one time one of our customers brought in a super shitty certificate and we made it look 100 times better for them, but they complained that their computer set up wouldn't line up the names on our better looking certifciate, so instead of changing the set up they insisted we re-crapify their certificate, except for they didn't say it like that.
you are a better man than i - i quit after mere months of dealing with clients who thought outlook = The Internet
and those who print out their MS Word mockups and point to the page as they hand it to me saying, "make sure to include all these photos, okay?"

Your biggest mistake is to do work that you are proud of. When you do that, then you have to take it personally when the client wants to fuck with the project. It's some kind of syndrome they get, and here is the progression of symptoms:
1) Hire talent to do something you know yourself to be incapable of.
2) Realize that spending money on the talent makes them your slaves.
3) Conclude that master knows better than slave what needs to be done.
4) Understand that you have better ideas than the people you hired to come up with ideas.
5) Hamstring the creative process with your lame jackassery.
6) Get shitty product which you think is great because they used your shitty idea.
There is no cure. The talent either compromises or dies. Better to chuckle quietly to yourself because you got paid to do something these fools could have done without your help.
Like the Goblin Rider says "You don't want to waste the good stuff on a bunch of zombies."
