You'd be surprised what kind of money people have to piss away. I've received my share of it over the years too (hey if they're gonna piss it away, *I* want to get it...)

I think the record would be $150 for LITERALLY 25-30 seconds worth of work. No kidding.

I had someone who I was doing work for and it totaled around $350 (for about 20 minutes of work... good deal too! [Linked Image]). He wanted one more feature added and said "how bout you add that and we make it an even $150". I said sure.

Opened the code, did a search for the print statement, added a

Code
code:

to the print statement to get his variable to appear on screen. Saved the file.

Granted, the non-programmers don't have any idea what is involved, so to them it's worth it. If its worth it to them to spend, who the hell am I to argue with with taking that money?

Gotta love it [Linked Image]
