more than anything
i hate:

"just a quick question..."

it is never ever a quick question. it is always a briefly phrased but in depth technical legal question that actually takes quite some time to research and answer correctly.

and then you will ALWAYS, without exception, query the bill and refuse to pay for the work, because you only asked "just a quick question". grrrrr.

humph.

I agree
The quicker the question, the longer the answer.

Idiots
I like it how people dig their heels in because they only asked a "quick question". Which of of course is a legally binding contract and no money need be involved.

I went in to rachelswipe's office the other day
I asked what the charges were. "£300 for three questions" she said

Blimey, isn't that a bit steep?" I asked

"Yes," said rachelswipe

"And your third question?"
