Thoughts On People With Their Panties All In A Bunch

Wow! Wow, wow, wow.

I was already having a great day today - a lot of inexplicable smiling. A soaringly good mood. But boy-oh-boy, this gem right here just put me over the top.

Earlier today, I responded to a rather vague ad for a freelance writing job, requesting more information.

Here follows the response from the client, my short, informative, courteous response to them...and their reaction. Awesomeness ensues:


Email from potential client:
Attached is the documents that need to filled out to talk about this information in further detail. Please review documents and scan and send back via mail. Below is the project that needs immediate attention. hope to hear from you soon .

Editing and Creating 80 pages of documentation (includes creating the grant proposal and letters of intent ) 
Researching the information to create the grant proposals and letters of intent
other documents are created and needed edited and or balanced to fit setting
yes you will be starting from scratch in regards to the grant proposals (2 grant proposals). In addition to , 4 other documents that need edited and possible reworded if needed . All work should equal 80 pages including the grant proposals.

Budget for project is $200.00


Here was my mostly-harmless response:
I wonder whether you realize that this is a solid 80 to 90 hours of work.

Anyhow, best of luck with all.

Here was their rejoinder:
Your response is very unprofessional. If I had the money to pay you what you needed I would not choose you for the job die to your unprofessionalism. Again as I stated Serious responses Only . Your response was an intentional harassing statement the will be filed with the police in my state and yours. You will received the info in the mail. If you want to contribute money to this economy and my business so I can afford to pay more , make that payment at your local police department. Thanks


Ahhh, the world is a beautiful place.

I look forward to the subpoena!

Smiles all around.
