On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn’t entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.

What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It’s so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it’s even harder to escape it.

Have to agree, it’s a funny story but charging someone a stupidity rate for nonexistent work isn’t justified by that person being stupid and a pain in your ass. Unless your circumstances force you, you can always just refuse work from customers like this. So many people downvoting this is disappointing.
