After seing the problems Dori Smith has been having with a disgruntled customer, I began thing of ridiculous questions/demands that get tossed at my mother during an average day. (She runs her own buisness selling her sculpture and books at art/craft shows and ren faires)

1. “Do you make these yourself?” (After watching her do a live demo)
2. “I bet I could make this at home” (Heh - you could try.)
3. “Can I barter for this?” (This usually from drunk ren faire patrons - one guy wanted to trade a *turkey leg* for a $48 dragon. Grrr….)
