Jerk Client Harasses Crocheter Over Price Of A Blanket And Makes Himself Look Like A Fool
He clearly does not understand the value of being paid for your time or basic manners.
Some people really do think custom work should come with bargain-bin pricing. In this case, a crocheter got a message from a man who wanted a blanket made for his girlfriend, complete with very specific requests about colors, stitches, and materials, but he did not like the price she quoted.
What followed was a rude back-and-forth that quickly turned into a lesson in entitlement, with the client trying guilt, pressure, and threats when he did not get his way. The crocheter stayed firm, and the whole exchange only got more ridiculous from there.
Read on for the full story.
Katt and Kovu, her cat, like to crochet in their spare time.
InstagramThey were just minding their business when they received a message about a commissioned blanket.
InstagramAnd it begins...
Keep in mind that Katt said this in a recent interview: “I’m not a business, so I really don’t consider anyone a potential customer, and if they’re rude, I have no problem dishing it back,” Katt remarked. “I don’t need to worry about negative reviews or anything like that; the repercussions for me are virtually zero.”

He starts off like a real tool.

Very specific in his colors, stitches, and quality of fiber used.

She gives him a reasonably thought-out price for her time, effort, and supplies.
“I’m just a hobby crocheter and trying to keep it that way,” Katt explained. “I rarely do commissions; usually, I only do them to reinvest money in my hobbies. Most people are extremely polite when inquiring about prices; I’ve been told one other time that I overcharge, and that was as rude as it got before this.”
Instagram
He clearly was not expecting that number.
One will continue to ponder what price he thought he was going to get...
Instagram
Especially for expensive supplies.
Instagram
And a crazy amount of work time.
Instagram
Who are these other crocheters you know, and why don't you go to them?
Instagram
He attempts to guilt her, but she has no time for his nonsense.
Instagram
He then attempts to demand that she does exactly what he wants.
Instagram
I'm really not sure what he thought was going to happen or if he knows the definition of the word "scam."
Instagram
Then Katt laid down her first meme, and it was golden.
Instagram
His threats continued to be ignored.
Instagram
She then, rightfully so, tacks on an extra charge because he's such a jerk. I'm assuming he didn't reply...
Instagram
Can I get a crafter AMEN?!
Instagram
Like, would you do your job for free?
Instagram
Hopefully, your friends treat you better.

YUP.

He really thought pressure would work here.
Wait till you read how the AITA photographer handled friends upset about paying for nature prints.
