Today, on a freelancer app I use to do short-term gigs to find long-term clients for my company, a rude, demanding client dumped me for a "more experienced, successful" company. They sent me a link, saying I could learn a thing or two. I own the company. FML

OP here. No exciting reply to the wannabe client, I opted to only politely declined to work with them. Glad I did because a colleague did take them on and they changed the project repeatedly and refused to pay for the work. Bullet dodged, but now I wish I had been snarky.

Why are the same entries lingering on the front page with the dates changed?

How on earth is this an FML, this is a wonderful twist. I wouldn't tell them until they hired your company and then just show up like "whatup" see their face turn purple.

No. It clearly stated that the OP was picking up freelance work in hopes of recruiting long term clients.

I’m confused? This fml has been posted before, a few months back. Why has it been republished?

They got a follow-up from the OP. This brings back an old story.
