I had a client once. He would leave voicemail like “Ms Winters, what time today can you come out here? Everything is a disaster. I can’t do any work until things are fixed. I may just have to return all of the new equipment and get my money back” and my heartrate would go to about 180, followed by my blood pressure. I’d call him back when my hands stopped shaking enough to use the phone and the call would be “Ms Winters. The font is larger than it should be in Word.”

He paid well. I fired him.

With a bad client, you keep raising the fee until it becomes a good client.

One more thing Adam and I have in common, the mental health thing and I haven´t worked for 2 years.

At least he pays well because he knows how much of a pain in the ass he can be. That seems pretty fair and reasonable to me.
