Jerk Client Harasses Crocheter Over Price Of A Blanket And Makes Himself Look Like A Fool

If you've ever sold commissioned pieces or are a freelancer, you know that there is a whole host of people who can be quite challenging. These individuals often believe they should be able to request custom work at an unreasonably low price, disregarding the time and effort involved in creating their desired piece. As noted by Dr. Gary Chapman, a marriage counselor and relationship expert, “People often undervalue the time and skill that goes into personalized work, leading to misunderstandings and frustration.” Recently, a crocheter faced this issue when a potential client contacted her about making a custom blanket for his girlfriend. Despite providing detailed instructions, he reacted rudely upon learning the price.

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.”
