There’s a blog where people share experiences of their clients from hell. It’s been around for a while but I pop back from time to time and always have a bit of a chuckle at this sort of thing:
Client: “I don’t think your fee is resonable for the amount of work you did.”
Me: “We had agreed on this fee in the beginning.”
Client: “That was 2 months ago, this is now.”
Me: “You have changed your mind? Well I could go through the creation process and justify why the fee came to this.”
Client: “That was until i googled it.”
Me: “What?”
Client: “You see, I think you are trying to cheat me. I googled webdesign and the internet say they can do it for $500 a page.”
Me: “I’ll be on my way.”

Hi Nick, here’s a comment, as requested.

Love it! A problem shared is a problem halved my Mum used to say.
I’m astonished that you would single out clients for derision and ridicule based solely on their place of residence.
That said, I’m also astonished that so many photographers around the world have clients from such a small town.

It must be a hotbed of creativity.
Hi Nick,
This is exactly the same thing happened to me last week.
I got a prospect from Singapore, and he said the very same words as your client did.
Silly indeed..
