I'll start.

<ahem>

The client doesn't want to interview a contractor without 5 references checked first. I'm sorry, I'm only doing what I'm told!

[Mich the Tester]

The client is really squeezing me on the rate here; what's the sharpest rate you can offer?

[TheFaQQer]

No-one's ever asked that before!

[DirtyDog]

The opt out is legally unenforceable. That's why we insist you opt out.

[TheFaQQer]

I've got a number of roles that you'd be perfect for - just send me some references!

[DirtyDog]

Alright mate, how's it going, yeah, ok

[Mich the Tester]

Oh, you're in a conctract now; that's good news. Who is your manager at Clientco Industries? Is it <insert name made up on the spot>?

[mudskipper]

You don't need to worry about IR35.

[minestrone]

"So you already have a contract there, which agency placed you? ourselves?"

But its a standard client contract, we can't change the wording. Every other contractor has signed it.
