    He could have easily paid double anywhere else.

    I know I'm underpriced at $98 an hour in shop or for steady customers and $135 for anyone else. But I'd have needed two hours minimum, $1.25/mile and would have put 30% on the parts.

    And I feel the same way about the type of customer...as soon as I hear the accent I'm already not interested and it's going to take some special circumstances to get me involved.

    I've got five weeks worth of work sitting outside for me and two hired hands so I guess I can afford to be selective

    I promise if you get in the mood to come over here that neither one of us will get accused of trying to be productive.

    Recontract him if you can and ask who he prays to in his religion. Then inform him he needs to contact it/him/them and get active...

    Hell no you didn't rob him! Sounds like he hauls cheap ### freight and thinks everyone else should work for nothing too.

    I’d hate to live next to a woman with a talking cat. Especially if that woman looked like a dude

    I don’t think you raped him. I never had a service call, on a weekend no less, for less than that
