    Purple - Larionne | Web Design & Branding @thebrandhero Set boundaries. If people can't respect those boundaries.. I paid you $5,200! I expect you to answer me ASAP. Hello, you paid me to execute and complete a project for you, not to be available to you 24/7. I've kept in constant communication with you throughout, wouldn't you agree?

    Font - Joshua P @photuris777 Replying to @thebrandhero A long time ago when I did web dev, we found time & again that the cheapskate clients were always the worst; most unreasonable, & most demanding.

You're paying top of market for me because l demand it. I'm not indebted to you.

    Font - Always tired dragon „z- @ObsidianScalie Replying to @thebrandhero Some people are saying it was a loss for the project executer because they gave them back the 5k, but by the client's attitude they wouldn't be satisfied with the project no matter what. Easier to avoid the headache than deal with someone who literally can't be pleased.

    World - A Successful Error A @myraccoonhands Replying to @thebrandhero I've legitimately done this for a design commission, too. I had them pay 1/2 up front, provided sketches of every design and panel, had them sign and authorize that no significant changes would be made after that point. Then, when 75% done, they wanted everything changed. Nope.
