Contractor gladly takes a $2.5k loss and fires an entitled client after he crosses the line, insane fallout occurs: '$2.5k to have him out of my life forever? A bargain'

Rich people always feel entitled to the servitude of others, but in this story, a construction guy shows his client who has all of the power on this job site.

When your job is to provide some sort of service, clients always feel as if they're owed something more than you're providing. This guy, a well-respected contractor, recently saw exactly how far a Kevin-ish client was willing to push the boundaries of professionalism to score his petty extra (at the expense of his contractor's personal life). The client had been a pain in the rear for the entire project, stepping on the toes of every professional on the job site and honking like a useless goose at every decision crossroads. The original poster of this story (OP) originally planned to stick it out with the client, finishing the job with his head down, but things came to a fiery conclusion when the client overstepped the boundaries of reasonability, sending a flurry of texts at 2 AM, refusing to pay his invoices, and belittling the contractor. 

Scroll for the entire tale of a construction worker who stands up for himself (and his subcontractors), by firing a client and accepting a $2.5k loss as a bargain.
