Also, one of the most common things I hear from contractors is that they "couldn't work for a boss, so, they went into business for themselves".
They just don't seem to get that, every job they go on, they are working FOR someone else - the customer.
I do see your point though - and I freely admit that it goes both ways - there's very little that's more irritating to a contractor than a customer constantly sticking their nose into things and being a downright nuisance - but - the customer is the one with the final say on things. Some times, as a contractor or a sub, you just have to bite your tongue, suck it up and be diplomatic about things.
