karma is a funny thing. i'm sure it's happened to all of us.
i have this client... a real prick. the project was supposed to be completed august 1st, but he never sent me the remaining info... we've all been there. so i waited, and waited and in the meantime i've juggled a move, a diet and whatever else has come along to one day get the remaining half and a phone message of him bitching at me to get it done in a week.
i laugh.
so i write to him a small email saying.... 'it will take 2-3 weeks AFTER i get my dsl line installed on the 3rd.' well, comcast screwed me. was i angry?!? yes. but i played it cool. i wrote him back and said they won't be coming out for another week.
again another angry phone message. this time about holding ME to dates and timelines. the nerve. and how he pays me even when his clients don't. irrelavant and i could care less i think. i work for you not your clients.
so i go to call him back pissed off as all hell last night and am ready to give him a piece of my mind.
he answers. 'hey, i'm stuck on the highway, i just rearended a guy while on the phone, my car is totalled and i'm talking with the police and waiting for the tow truck. i'm sure the lady i hit is going to have my ass can i call you back?!?'
i could have been the dick i had planned... but i wasn't.
karma got to him first.
karma my friends, it's an interesting thing.

Drunk guy hits my car (I wasn't in it) and totals it. He somehow crawls away from the scene though everyone who saw him said he could barely walk.
He goes missing for a week. Seems he has same insurance company as I do and I finally find out through them (after much haggling and yelling on phone) that 1/2 hour after accident he reports his car stolen. Nice. More haggling, insurance co. not helpful.
Im out one night and happen to tell the story to someone who says call my lawyer. I call and he says...oh, I know your insurance agent..have two suits pending with her now. Call her and tell her if she doesn't have a check to you by week's end, I'll be calling her.
I do and get a check for the FULL value of the car (which I couldn't have sold it for) and I get a new, improved car. yay.

Why didn't you go to Kinkos or something to use the internet. There were probably a million ways to get around this and actually come out on top.

========good be that woman from Kingjulien's thread, if that is the case your client is in a way more nasty situation then you wished him to be. =)
