I seriously almost started crying upon reading this. I know how pissed off people get with me when I refuse to work on their computers for free, and that's just a computer.

That client honestly had no right, and I think it was within your right to tell her that's a very personal question and has no bearing on your business transaction, thanks.

I seriously could not do your job. For all the complaining that I have about mine? I wouldn't make it two days in your shoes. You have my condolences and my respect for the humanity and compassion you have to have to do that job, and for staying sane in a profession that's harder than most.
