I wouldn't call it a crushing disappointment, more like a infuriating disappointment, but I recently hired someone to do some work for me. And their work was . Like complete unusable . But I had already paid them for the time they worked for me and I can't exactly be like, "excuse me, give me back the money." The girl was unemployed and has a baby too, so I didn't want to be a complete bitch. But man, I wanted to throttle her.
Oh that sounds like the worst, because feel you guilty being angry, and can't just get your money back. You can't just fume, you have to contain yourself. I had something similar happen recently - I paid for someone to make me fabric label tags, and they were soooo nice and helpful, except what they sent me as the finished result was this horrible papery fabric that was completely unusable and un-sewable. Sux. =(

I did end up getting my money back, though I felt like a total monster asking for it, since they were so nice. I ended giving them good feedback anyway for their customer service, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad!
