How do you deal with clients who are driving you crazy?

[Lionessa]

1. From when I had clients...

I only ousted two clients. Basically I had to figure if they were costing me more than I profited from their business. Only two ever did; one hated that I brought my teen son and huge german shepherd (gentle but huge) to the shop and would rage about it for 1/2 hour every time he came in. He only purchased about $50 a month, so wasting 2 hours + a month, he wasn't worth it, the other was a really nice fellow, but he would call every 15 minutes to see if his job was done early even if he had been given a date 48 hours away. Nice but even after explaining a couple or three times, he continued to just keep calling so I finished his project and recommended my competitor for future projects.

Otherwise, I try to just focus on the project and no other issues like religion or politics. It was really hard for me to keep my mouth shut sometimes though.
