Client wanted me to make his lawn look like a golf green for $200

I showed up at this guy's house last Thursday and he pointed to his bumpy, weed-filled yard and said "make it look like Augusta National." After I explained that leveling, seeding, and proper drainage would run closer to $2,000, he got mad and asked if I could just spray paint it green. Has anyone else had a client with expectations that totally didn't match their budget?

Wait, @wells.evan, honestly I used to think $200 was fair but this changed my mind completely.

@mitchell.thomas guess the spray job was worth every penny of that $200.

Spray painting it green, classic. Did you tell him he can just mow a checkerboard pattern in the paint?
