Im serious
my present customer said and I quote
"I thought that was free"

to which I could only respond
" did we have a contract"
"did it say free or no charge under that big black line and next to all those perdy numbers"
"do you have a bill"

she puts her head in her hands like this is all some kind of shock and says
"but I thought it was free"

and no it wasnt on the deck job its was just some dumb little stuff but still
"it aint free lady"

you would think a crappy $800 bucks was asking for the moon

"I thought it was free" is just stuck in my head today

What are you talking about, the porch you made with such love and care? - ask her if she is having a "opening celebration" and invite a number of "guests" along to partake in an orgy and collect $100 a piece and prompt them with the same line when she baulks a bit at coming across with the free sex...??? 10 'freeloading' guests and you should see a minor profit... and a lesson well taught...

It will be soon when the debt collector comes knocking and will take what is due and more... none of this "walk away" ******** in international markets... Your ass is theirs until the payments in full are made along with collection costs and other painful experiences...

na she paid for the porch and loved it

it was the landscaping she was whining about
long story but she paid up

actually the hubby paid me on the deck no worries
when she got an additional bill for the dirt work in the easement area prior to sod ( which is another bill buy the way ) she thought it was in the previous contract even though she had asked me to separate everything out in separate billings ( which I did, pain in the ass though it be ) then she came at me with

I thought it was free

I bout fell over laughing

Oh how sad... It is a crazy crazy world... That was my "crazed png highlander mindset" going off the rails with wild retribution - major reason we left... that sort of mindset that placed women as chattels or lower than the scrawney scavenging dogs that roam around... Me being stupid again?

I might add that she only paid up after "forgetting" to include it in several subsequent payments

I just raised my prices
I call this particular charge "stupid tax"


about once a year someone lands in the stupid tax column

cheers

My favourite stupid is - - to see a people fervently proud of their country, but not doing anything to facilitate or encourage voting by others, or in voting themselves, or taking an active role in the democratic process... Those places have not got a "democracy" and all that they have will have is a "failed state"...
