I did freelance database design and data entry. I once had a client on Wall Street who hired me to do data entry on his client and prospect list.

Client: I need a bunch of data entry done tonight. Would you mind working outside your normal hours? It’s an emergency.

Because he had been a good client I agreed at my overtime rate.

Client: The files are in an envelope on my desk. Just pick them up from my office.

I picked up the envelope and got to work. The files were there… along with a set of photos of his wife. First, his wife in a dress. Then in a bikini. Then performing various sex acts with multiple men.

The client was nowhere in the pictures, which somehow makes sense to me. I never mentioned it and neither did he.

He paid the bill, and then I never returned his calls.
