The customer asking for more work at no pay is one I run into. I am sure that (like me) everyone has had that customer that just wants a quote to do their house and you try to sell them on flat work and they don't want it until you are finished doing the house and then only want to pay house price.

That is interesting.

I'm sure their are legitimate reasons and BS excuses for all the complaints.

I've always found flushing to be overrated.
