I love this post. I subscribe to <snip>.com's project notification service just for entertainment purposes. I get about 3-4 e-mails from them a day with contract postings... My favorites are when they say...

"I have a friend who says this can be done in a few hours by someone who knows what they are doing..."

Or my other favorite...

"I'm looking for someone who has done this before or already has the code built and can deliver by tomorrow".

So you are looking for me to "give" you my hard work for cheap just because I already did it? Maybe I'll sell you a license but I'm not going to just roll it out for you since I already did it in the past.

The topper is when they specifically ask for someone with good communication skills, highest quality work, but low rate and overseas labor preferred.

Then I also enjoy the frequent follow-up's from previous job posters:

"Guys. This is the third time I've had to post this... I don't know what is so hard about this..."

Yeah, I want to work for you! Sign me up!
