No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

This should serve as a warning to all those who are contemplating doing a good deed for someone. DON'T. IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU IN THE ASS! I had the misfortune of doing a good deed for a customer and it's going to cost me, big time. I mixed paint for a customer, I showed him he damn label and he agreed it was the paint he was after. Now, one week later, he's saying it was the wrong paint and that he had to hire a professional to scrape it off his intricate kitchen walls. THE BILL IS OVER $350! And he expects my work to pay for it, which in turn means ME! It wasn't so much that the boss stated that the head honchos expect me to pay up, just it was implied that if I don't: I WON'T HAVE A JOB! I don't think it's right; in fact it stinks the high heaven, but I can't pay my bills without a job. I will tell you this: I am done helping customers. Other than pointing, I will never go out of my way to help a customer again! If you are wise you will heed my advice and never extend yourself to help anyone! It will wind up costing you more in the end that you ever bargained for.
