    You try and do something nice for a non-client / colleague... and shit just goes straight up 'mom & pop' backward at every angle.

    This fucker who 'uses' me from time to time ("Dude... can you help me quickly?!") always brings me the DUMBEST incomplete backward shit... missing pieces here... tech is crap... always something fucked up that your standard 'graphic designer' shouldn't have to put up with.

    Fuuuuuuck!! Yes, "friend"... let me waste an entire day dealing w/a patch-job / fix to something you're too fucking cheap to spend money on... the fuck is wrong w/me?

    punch me in the face please? 6 hours lost... REAL clients ignored... passive aggressive alter-ego is emerging...

    • Otherwise you're getting cheaped on free work, and in the 1099 world, that doesn't truck in this thing of ours. La cosa pagami.garbage
    • working for free is like loaning money. don't do it if you're going to complain about it.imbecile
    • 'I'd love to help. I am finishing x for a client. Good money, tight deadline. I will call x day to go over it' - those freebies are alway rush jobs ; )maikel
    • 'quickly' is an insult. Don't tell me how long it will take. I'll tell you.hotroddy
    • I feel you. It reminds me of my ex-boss, who, even when paying, always shows up from time to time with his "botched jobs", arghhh! Fire him now!!OBBTKN
