That "if" does a lot in that sentence :) Just had a typical fun experience:

Customer: Your platform doesn't work, when we do this, A happens

Me: Hm, we don't have that feature, but I understand your use-case. We could deliver this new feature by tomorrow, but using it that way also inherently means B would happen in such and such cases, so just want to make sure that's what you want?

Customer: Let us know when the bug has been fixed, it's urgent and we're losing money because of you (they had 1 month free trial)

Me:: It's not a bu...okay, we will

Me: * works all night, builds a new feature, fully polished, notifies customer

Customer after 2 days: Yet ANOTHER bug with your unstable software!! * describes B

Oh.. that sounds so familiar it almost triggers PTSD-like symptoms inside me.

I guess these vocal and demanding people are everywhere, no matter how easy and intuitive the software is.

I just had someone ask for a new feature and a discount on my $6 app a few minutes ago.

We have to come to terms that this is part of the job where we have such a close connection to the people that use our product.

Unless this was a customer you absolutely needed you should not have given them control over your immediate development schedule. Offer refunds if relevant (sounds like not the case). Keep your sanity instead.

Do you get any fun responses if you reply "You told me that's what you wanted :)"

Could recommending a competitor to these people be a good business decision?

I've tried that in the past only to be told ' We've tried them and they are even worse than you lot are! They are rude, their stuff is full of bugs and their support staff are unhelpful.. '

Whelp!
