Had a client last week who insisted on using a cheap power supply from a no-name brand

Three years ago, I would have just installed it to make them happy. Last month, I saw a system fry because of a similar unit. This time in Tampa, I told them it was a bad idea and showed them a Corsair unit for $80. They got mad and said I was upselling. Has anyone else had to argue with a client over a part that you know will cause problems?

My friend Sarah insisted we read 'The Silent Patient' for our club in Chicago

Totally felt that with Gone Girl.

Rant: A potential client in Phoenix asked for a 'ballpark' quote over the phone, then got mad when the written estimate was $300 higher.

Ugh, that buffer idea is a trap. It just makes the final price look dishonest. The real fix is to stop giving numbers on the phone. Tell them you need to see the job first, every time. People can't picture the real scope from a description. A firm policy saves the headache.
