Clients can become such a bore with all their wants and more wants.
Recently I was ask if I gave a discount for repeat customers.
They bought a 20 acre in the middle of nowhere get-a-way last fall, buying a $300k lake lot this week.
My reply - "you must have received a deal on your first project to be happy and call me again"
They still believe that they only need a drawing.....well they are getting a property description too cause the one they have does not mention that one boundary is a lake meander line and I've never liked the expression "typical iron rod" as a description for any monument and the adjoining property owners have changed and none of the boundaries follow any of the recorded lot boundaries.

Here's a poor quality recording of part of their '68 OKC concert. If I remember right it was secretly recorded by one of our "hippie" local DJs.

"You know that's extra, right?"
If they insist on helping you tell them it will cost more because, "I charge extra to teach".

Park employees (including Holden & me) helped carry the equipment from their truck and set it all up on top of Dub Adams Hik'ry Kitchen, the restaurant inside the park. We all got to "take breaks" with the roadies and staff..:whistle:
At first we all mistook the roadies and road manager as the members of the band (hey, a few were British and they had long hair). About 5 minutes before their first set the "real" members of the band showed up in an airport limo and climbed on top of the building and did their show. Tickets for the general population were a lofty 2 bucks. One of our co-workers was able to score a bag of weed for them (at their request), apparently due to their fear of traveling with contraband. He was rewarded with an autographed smashed Zildjian cymbal for his efforts after the two-show concert.
Young Paden was corrupted and hasn't been the same since...
$2!! Holy ****! I know a guy who paid 600 times that much to see them! (I however have only paid 250 times that much - had a seat right at the corner of the stage - absolutely fantstic show!!)

I remember going to a Grateful Dead concert @ Folsom Stadium in Boulder CO, back in the early '70s. We paid $5 a ticket and they played from noon to about 6:00 p.m. It was funny, the CU football team suited up and came out to a part of the stadium and watch for free. I suspect they had just figured out a way to get in to the concert for free. A lot of stoners too. Some guys with the band stood on the edges of the stage and threw out joints to the crowd. Crazy concert. Pretty wild scene for a teenager to watch.

At a Dead Concert? Why my word....

Out of the blue she will have some thought relating to the survey I did in June 2014, so she calls me to discuss that thought. Ten minutes later or ten days later or two months later she calls again.
Little old ladies can be the worst.
One I had thought that her property was 5' wider than it was because of another surveyor's mistake, which I found and he corrected and explained to her. Then because she didn't accept that she kept calling me about it even though I didn't do the survey for her, because I was local and he was long distance to the phone company.
Another one accused me of lying to her. Her lawyer was present when I told her some very indignant things and started to leave. I finally dealt with him and she kept her mouth shut. And I DO NOT LIKE LAWYERS!!!
