"The cattier corners of the web have been tittering over a certain chiropractor's website gone awry, courtesy of a disgruntled and allegedly unpaid web designer.\nThe designer in question, whose identity is currently (and fortunately for said designer) unknown, created a website for a chiropractic firm, Winona Chiropractic Center, and also provided hosting services the site. When the firm allegedly \"failed to pay any of their total web design bill, despite repeated attempts by their web design agency to collect,\" the designer, who claimed to have \"a childish sense of humor,\" hijacked the site as his or her own personal billboard of bitterness.\n\"Please note that I have waited years for this business to pay,\" stated the \"new and improved\" version of the site. \"I have hosted their site for free since about 2007. This is me giving up.\"\nThe rant continued, \"Personally, I wouldn't trust a doctor of any kind who couldn't pony up for what, in the grand scheme of things, is a small charge for their web design. Do what you will, though.\"\nThe site gathered some attention starting with a Reddit thread or two; but apparently, the piqued digital creative responsible suffered from an acute fit of remorse late in the afternoon because the page has now been entirely removed.\nThe Internet being the slice of magic that it is, we're able to reproduce the page here:\nClick for large version.\nWe certainly do agree that the designer's actions were childish, but the long-simmering rage that builds when deadbeat clients refuse to pay their bills can cause folks to go a little bonkers after a few months, to say nothing of a couple years.\nWeb devs and designers, we want to know, has a client ever refused to honor your invoice? Vote in the poll, and in the comments, let us know how you handled the situation \u2014 especially if your solution was particularly mature, effective or at least funny.\n\n\n\n\tHave you ever been stiffed by a client?customer surveys\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, clintspencer"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
