mind or have a paid commission their gallery style and are quite expensive for me at the moment I could probably paint them a portrait for a fairly cheap if you can provide for the canvas yourself you're my wife's best friend you should do it for free I'm spending close to $5,000 in gifts having kids is not cheap and is very stressing so help me out I'll even consider paying you for the few days you watch the kids for us you can even buy the canvas from that money wait what I talked to blank and she said she'd pay me for babysitting I'm lost am I supposed to give you an art piece for you to give your wife and you can pass it as your gift hmm kind of just giving a friend a hand in time of need you already have some clean canvas I don't know what the big deal is you already bought them

help each other that way are you going to pay me for babysitting your four kids this week I'm not seeing this as a very fair deal and feel you're trying to take advantage of me your wife knows my current situation and I'm sure she'd understand I can't spend over 30 hours and using materials I can't currently replace for free I am sorry I hope this is a joke whoa you're not thinking straight

mom low I don't give a flip if you run an orphanage to be honest Wow f you dude however I let everyone know you're a jack well considering he posted this on reddit to show everyone how much of a choosing beggar you are I have a sneaking suspicion he wouldn't really mind looking for free laptop for work price zero pounds I am looking for a laptop that I can use for my work and home it's size can be anywhere from 11 inches to 15.6 I will need it delivered to my address will be given if I accept your offer brands I would accept Microsoft HP Acer Asus Lenovo Apple etc I need an air pod Pro because I never had a chance to get one and I can't never listen to my music while I'm at the gym working out and my old headphone broke and I don't have enough money to buy air pods brownie phase why don't you just buy Amazon's wireless earbuds no thumbs-down I run a company where we hire out wedding and event service providers with our main focus being photography and videography other services include DJ's drone pilots hair and makeup artists etc not relevant at all so a few months back I get an instant chat from a bride by our website she informs me that they're coming down to South Africa in December and they need a wedding photographer and videographer I send our packages to her and she says her fiance wants to call me I say that's fine and give her my number a few hours pass and I'd almost forgotten about them but my phone finally rings the fiance speaking in a very heavy German accent starts sweet-talking me mentioning how people rave about our fantastic work and service I am calling BS on every word he says but I am also infamous for my inability to say no he ends up offering us about a third of what the package is charged offering to make the hours less removing any physical copies etc he also adds it he'll give us a $500 tip on the night I ask him why he can't just add that as part of the quote to which he replies gentlemen's agreement anyway is somehow I accept his insane offer if I was a drinker I'd be saying that I really should stop drinking at work I gotta emphasize that they will get no overtime if my people stay one minute longer than agreed-upon I'm gonna charge him he said it was fine so what they required us for was two hours for their Friday and three hours for the Saturday but it did require me redoing the entire shift list for that weekend as to free to qualified people to go cover their events the Friday event I did the photos myself and took one of the videographers with me and I will add they were insanely nice especially the groom the time did drag a bit because there really wasn't much to shoot just a group of people sitting around a table but whatever after an hour and a half the groom told us we could leave awesome I wasn't able to do the second evening myself I had made them aware of this from the start but since a different photographer one much more talented than me if I'm being honest and the same videographer from the night before they were booked from 6:15 to 9:15 I told them to stay until 9:45 to make up the 30 minutes we'd skipped the night before so how we work is that none of my people own their own gear and everything belongs to me therefore after each ship the shooters have to return the gear to me the weddings they were shooting was about a 25 minute drive from my place and the one I was shooting was an hour drive I was also booking until 10:00 p.m. I got home after 11:00 p.m. and saw that they hadn't returned yet all my other team started arriving shortly after me and returned their gear but no sign of those two this had me worried as they were working the closest and were supposed to finish before anyone else I tried calling but no answer from either of them just before midnight I got in my car and went out to look for them I driven for about 10 minutes when I saw them passing me from the opposite direction I turned my car around and drove home I asked them what had happened they explained that they have stayed until 10:45 as ordered but as they were about to start packing up the bride had sent her maid of honor to request another hour they had explicitly said that they'll talk to me about it afterwards and I can just add it to their invoice they were also making my videographer do things that were only reserved for our biggest package more importantly though apparently the couple had gone full entitled people at the second event yelling at my photographer and just being completely rude I have a very low tolerance for rude people the next afternoon Sunday I see I have a missed call from the groom and then a voice note thanking me for my team and then adding that they're leaving the country in seven days so they would appreciate it if I could have their wedding photos and videos done before then they also want all the raw materials on a hard drive he made no mention of the overtime I stared at this message kind of dumbstruck as our contract clearly stipulates at the waiting period for photos is four weeks and eight weeks for video his quotation also clearly said no physical copies I texted him back the next morning saying that there was no way I was going to have everything done before January I did offer to give them the Raw's before they leave but a hard drive would have to be added to the invoice along with the overtime bill to this he replied that he would like to call me to discuss our situation I knew exactly what was coming and I was dreading that phone call the phone call happened later that afternoon this story has already gone on way too long so I'm gonna skip most of it and just cut to the parts that made my blood boil so you say you cannot have it done before we leave unfortunately not oh that disappoints me because all our guests are asking how much longer the photos are gonna take but we understand great I'm glad you understand I can give you the Rose if you wish to but you'll have to pay for an external I have some in stock I don't want to pay for a hard drive you can just we transfer me all the Raw's no I can't oh why because it's over 100 gigs of materials and this is South Africa with our internet speed it'll take about two years oh do you think we need the raw materials no I don't okay long awkward pause I don't understand why there's an overtime bill because you asked my people to stay an extra hour no they only stayed ten minutes longer and you owed us 30 minutes from the night before I took the thirty minutes into account and they still stayed an hour after that no that's not true I had the time stamps on the photos when the first and last ones were taken you want me to send that to you no I don't awesome but we hired you and got someone else you hired the company not me and on Friday you even said that I must enjoy my wedding on Saturday you always knew you weren't getting me but we were not happy with who you sent really why is that I just don't think we should be charged extra for them unfortunately that's what we agreed upon but you offer me a better price on the overtime I am offering you a better price on overtime oh but this is the best you can do if you take into account the tip we never got then this is actually almost nothing what tip the gentlemen's agreement we made I don't know what you mean that's the surprise of the century so when do we get the photos in January but you need to pay the rest of your invoice first including the overtime yes you send us everything and then we pay no the contract you signed stipulates that you will receive nothing until all invoices have been settled that's our policy yes but then we don't know you ever send photos I thought you'd heard so many people tell you about how great our service is yeah but I'm not happy with this you send us everything and we decide if we want to pay yeah that's not happening but you can't ask me to trust you like this you're right we can't trust each other I think this simplest solution is that IRA fund your deposit delete your wedding and we can be done with each other because I've heard enough I feel I have offended you you haven't but you're wasting my time and I'm done doing favors for you the only difference between you and our other clients is that they paid full price okay great I'll wait for the money to show up in my account and then I'll start the editing process and you cannot offer me a better price on the overtime have a good Christmas and I hung up the phone the next morning the bride sent me a text that they just paid the outstanding balance and now want their photos because January is a long time to wait January was eight days away it's now been three days and the money has yet to show in my account if I were that photographer I'd only have one word to say to them deleted that was our sliced using beggars and if you want to support my channel and this content then hit that like button because it really helps my channel grow
