Some time ago I had a client who wanted to start a B2B portal which would be a distribution point of reposessed goods. I took my software engineer friend and we prepared some 25 pages draft that outlined the structure, tech recommendations, basic market analysis, web advertisement options and stuff. There was no contract, since the draft was supposed to be a base for the contract. The client was to pay us for the draft and present it to his investor. Soon the guy stopped answering phone calls and never paid us.
A few weeks later I was watching TV, a 'couple reunion' show that there's got to be in every country's TV. There was our 'client' there. He was trying to get his girl back. I called my software engineer friend to turn on the tv immediately. The show host invited the girl, aired an interview with the guy, who was saying he'd been a bad person and stuff. Then she said how surprised she was. Then our guy came onstage and sat next to her. She said it was a nice try but there's no way she's coming back.
I think that was the only time in my life that a man's cry made me laugh my ass off.
