My personal favourite:
I designed and set up a website for a client. He loved it. I finished it early (I didn't...I build in a week just in case) and he paid on time. All was well.
3 weeks later he calls all upset because the site isn't working on his host. I looked into it and it seems he hadn't paid his bill to the host! So he pays them and is happy again.
A month later he calls upset because the site isn't working. I asked if he had paid the host fee...yes he had. I told him I'd go in and look at it.
10 minutes later I'm calling him. I asked his what he was doing earlier when he logged in...."Oh, I just wanted to change a few things...like the colour and the pictures...etc....I was just playing with it". I told him that when he saved it he had saved all his mistakes. He offered to pay me again, if I would start all over and fix it. So I did.
It took me 5 minutes. I always keep a backup.
He wasn't the first person to do that and will probably not be the last.
By the way, locally he's City Council Member! |
