"I have a very strong reputation in the market!" (Yeah, a reputation as a guy who writes fake reviews of his company)

"Everybody wants me to fail." (No, we are all putting overtime because of your bad decisions, but it turns out they were REALLY bad)

"The client was really happy with our demo" (Except for the part where it crashed for half a day and they are threatening legal action)

"I made the software work!" (No, you fixed one minor module because the guy you did not pay slammed the door)

"I don't have time to transfer the money,I'm literally driving across the country to the meeting,can we do this tomorrow?" ( It takes 1 minute to pull out your phone, login to your bank app and do it).

"Can we just changes this?And this?And then bombards you with 20 back and forth of last minute changes that have never came up in previous 10 meetings you had" (Either can't make up their minds or simply no idea what they want or just delaying payments).
