"I watched a client do something that still haunts me 😳"

Normal clients ask questions about their tax returns.

Nightmare clients rip them in half. In front of you.

This CPA watched his client grab their tax return and literally tear it up saying "That's what I think of it."

Normal people don't do this. EVER.

When someone shows zero respect for the law, your work, AND basic human decency - believe them the first time.

That torn paper? It was a preview of every future interaction 🚩

🚨 YOUR GUT IS SCREAMING FOR A REASON 🚨

That uneasy feeling after your first client call? That's not anxiety—that's your superpower.

Paul learned this the hard way: "I have a bad feeling about this," he told his partner after meeting a new client.

His mistake? Ignoring it.

The result? Months of communication hell, scope creep, and a client who literally said hiring marketers gave them "PTSD" 😬

Here's what your gut spotted before your brain:

🔴 "This shouldn't take long" (famous last words)
🔴 "We've had problems with other contractors"
🔴 Last-minute calls at 9pm because they"re "too bussy"
🔴 Arrogant communication patterns

The brutal truth:

If you have a bad feeling, it's NOT going to get better. Your subconscious processes micro-signals your logical brain misses.

Paul's lesson: "Your gut knows more than your brain."

That awkward vibe? The weird energy? The thing you can't quite put your finger on? TRUST IT.

Your turn: What red flags has your gut spotted that you ignored? Share your story below 👇

If you've ever wanted to scream "THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS" at a client, this one's for you...

The client translation guide nobody asked for but everyone needs:

✅ "Quick question" = 2-hour explanation incoming
✅ "Small change" = Rebuild everything from scratch
✅ "When you get a chance" = I needed this yesterday
✅ "I trust your expertise" = I'm about to question every decision you make

Which one makes you want to throw your laptop out the window? 💀
