how do you guys deal with clients who love your work but don't have any kind of "tact". i'm thinking of charging a little overhead.

Okay –
So on the front – let’s have:
£X discount to sold out shows (emphasize discount)
Including
Lady Gaga (emphasized)
Someone else
Someone else
Someone elseDiscount code somewhere on the front.
On the back will probably be a standard bit of informational text about us.
Just one short paragraph in English. I will write it soon, but won’t be much. Maybe we just have the big logo and then some explanatory text. I don’t really know what to do to make it pretty without images.Is that enough?
Thanks,
KevinLOL @ "is that enough?"

Two months after the client received the invoice, they realized there're computed a large amount of hours due to changes and template modifications (client requested)... And wish a reduction, obviously.
I said i've not included ALL the production hours i spent, and invoiced much weekend hours like mo-fri hours, and a gross reduction is included jet.
Anyway, i suspect i'm not going to be paid for this work...

Client just went ape shit, mostly brought on by his technical inadequacies, during an emergency meeting where he was completely unclear on how to match the content document to the mock up. A little levity was needed so I dropped the old Eff Bomb Jar joke and he came through eventually. Fuckin' Wall Streeters!
