Got stuck on a weird bug in my first paid app job

My first real freelance job was a simple website for a local bakery. I told them it would take two days. The whole thing was fine until I tried to make their contact form work. The emails just wouldn't send from their server. I spent almost three full days just on that one problem, reading old forum posts and testing different code. Has anyone else had a small feature eat up way more time than you quoted for?

That's just how you learn to quote jobs better.

Ugh, this is why I always double my time estimates. The small stuff always takes the longest.
