I own, on VHS, a documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright. One of the owners of one of his designs said that he would sometimes drop by with a knick knack of some sort and say he thought it would look really good on the mantle or some such. They thought that was really nice of him. But then they would get a bill for it in the mail. 🤣

My son had surgery a few years ago. Later in the day I bumped into his surgeon in the hospital elevator.
She introduced me to another surgeon and we discussed my sons surgery for a couple minutes.
The other doctor had the temerity to bill me $800 for a consult.
Needless to say, he didn’t get his money.

"But then they would get a bill for it in the mail."I'd send a note telling him to come pick it up. "It'll be in the back of the house at the servants' entrance."

I'd respond with a note saying that after the in-home trial, we decided we didn't like it at the price and he's free to come pick it up with sufficient prior notice.
