I know this kind of walk well. Back in high school, I sometimes did it together with one of my friends, a guy who was fairly introverted and a little creepy (yeah, just like me). Once we just picked a direction and kept walking until we reached the city's outskirts... then we turned around. It was fun overall - it was a nice opportunity to spend some time without any communication pressure - we talked only when we felt like talking.

Indeed, some customers are just stupid. They either send us some horribly-scanned thing that is barely readable, or they ask for impossible things. I've had cases of medical documents entirely written by hand... and completely illegible. So I had to tell the client "I am a translator, not a decoder." And he was pretty surprised to discover this - until then he had not really taken a good look at the sheet and didn't know it was so bad. Jeez!
