That client who moved a deadline up 48 hours and then vanished?

Had a client last Tuesday email me at 9pm saying they needed a 40-page report by Friday instead of next Monday. I said sure, pulled an all-nighter Wednesday, sent it Thursday morning. Then they didn't respond for a whole week. Finally they said "oh we decided to go with something else" and never paid a dime. Has anyone else had a client just disappear after making you rush for nothing?

Honestly that's rough, I once spent a whole weekend making custom fonts for a logo and the guy ghosted me after saying "these are perfect thanks.

Yeah @alex820 that stings, putting in real work just to have someone disappear like that. It's like they don't get the time and effort that goes into making something custom. Hope the next client actually follows through for you.

But honestly some people ghost because they get buyer's remorse or their budget got cut, and they're too embarrassed to admit it. At least they didn't string you along for weeks after saying they loved it.
