Hi everyone, long time lurker here.
I think I posted in Sightings a few months back about something my fiance had to put up with but now I thought I'd join in as well.
I am a self employed photographer and I work out of a home studio. The amount of people I get asking me to do free photoshoots because I am their friend is mind boggling. This just happened to me recently though and I am no longer 'friends' with this person.
Friend: I let a coworker of mine know about your photography and directed her to your page.
Me: That was nice of you, thanks.
Friend: Yeah, I told her you were really good and you'd give her a discount if she mentioned she knew me.
-record scratch-
Okay, hold up, what? Not only did she not have the right to do this, I'd never even given HER a 'friend discount' what made her think I was going to give it to a complete stranger?
Needless to say I told her off and she got pretty butthurt, blocked me on facebook, not that I care. I felt bad when the girl did end up messaging me and I had to tell her my 'friend' was mistaken and I didn't do discounts. I have four kids, they eat A LOT.
Anyway, it was really nice to get that off my chest.
