Some family friends hired me to design the signage for their newly acquired store. I e-mailed the third and final revision of designs, ready to invoice and call it a day.

Client: We love it. Can you print it for us too?

Me: My business is strictly design, but because you’re a family friend I can have printing arranged.

Client: Can you also paint the signs for us?

Me: Again, my business is strictly design, but since you’re local and I’ll have some free time coming up I can give you a hand if you need.

Client: Oh, also, the wood (surface the signs would be going on) is a little uneven. Can you adjust the price to add replacement lumber?

Just. No.
