I work for myself. So, one would think I am my own boss. Nope, my customers are my boss, and sometimes they are great, but as of late they are totally brain dead! Let me clarify. I do camera repairs for a living. Mostly pre-1960 German cameras. My speciallty is Rolleiflex, Ikoflex, Super Ikonta, and Contax. So, I get a customer that asks me to work on their camera. I tell this guy I need to know the model, to quote the job. He tells me it is a Rolleiflex. So I answer that there are perhaps 60 cameras that bear the name Rolleiflex, and I need to know the model. Guess what he tells me--You Guessed It: It's a Rolleiflex! Each of these statements is an email, and so I am getting a little frustrated as I am wasting my time, and not getting paid. So I inquire further, what is the serial number. He tells me the number, and then tells me where I can look up the model on the net! What the Hell! If you know where to look the number up, why make me do it?! So I look up the number (I love to suffer), quote him a price and what does this dumb fuck do...He tells me I want too much for the repair, and he is going to send the camera to my competitor!

I just can't win sometimes.frown
