So last weekend I did henna at a huge corporate party for a certain coffee company that rhymes with Barfuck's. There were 5 of us and over 4 hours we did henna on almost 500 people, which let's just say is a lot. 
We were scheduled til 4pm. After that time we break down, party's over, we're closed, no more henna, blah blah. So around 4:15 we're breaking down the tents and this dude comes up to us and starts begging for a henna. He seemed nice and was totally bummed that we were done so I agreed to do something quick on him. I did a small design of Tibetan-style flames and when I finished and told him how to take care of it, this was his reply:
"So what about another one?"
Uh, yeah. You've got to be shitting me.
"No, I'm sorry, but we didn't do more than one design per person today and we're already closed and breaking down."
"But what if I *really* want another one?"
Right. I should obviously make an exception for you, because clearly you deserve special treatment. How silly of me not to realize this and I'll just go ahead and change my business practices immediately. 
[polite but strained smile] "Sorry. I can't do it for the reasons I just outlined. We're closed."
"That's dumb. Why can't I get another one? You have the ink [sidenote: henna is NOT ink] right there. Just draw a little something, it'll be quick and easy and it'll look cool. Come on." [turns on the sleazy charm with a grin]
"Dude? Seriously, we're breaking down. I can't, I'm sorry. You're lucky to have gotten the one."
"But you have it RIGHT THERE. Can't you just draw SOMETHING? Come on, I'm going out tonight and I want to look cool. You could do barbed wire or something [sidenote again: yeah right, AS IF]."
"Let me see your arm again?" [strained smile becomes a little more malicious]
He turns sideways. I promptly wipe the design off with a baby wipe.
"Wait, whoa, WHAT? What the fuck?! What did you do that for!"
"I nicely gave you a FREE design when we were obviously closed and packing up and you want to get cranky with me when I say you don't get MORE special treatment? You get nothing. Beat it."
[sullen] "You don't have to be a bitch about it."
"Get outta here."
 Fuckhead.

Bravo!
I like to think that in a situation like that I'd be just as quick thinking as you were... no chance though!

I like option 2 (henna a huge erection on the back of his head or something) but that was way cool, and virtually impossible to come back on you with a complaint...

Thats f-ing awesome SV. I hate corporate dicks like that who expect to get whatever they want. And you were even cool enough to give him one in the first place. Dont know if I would have done that much.
