>score a gig shooting an event at a big nightclub with a m8 of mine
>have to travel 2 hours to get there
>get there, realise I left my 6D body at home and only brought 2 lenses
>my friend realises left his batteries at home, can't use camera obviously
>we go inside, grab a few free drinks and talk to the dude who hired us
>tell him we'll start when a few more people arrive
>he's watching us like a hawk, we're freaking out as we cannot take a single photo
>wait till he goes to the toilet and leave the venue, taxi to another friend's house in the city and stay the night
>morning comes, dude is threatening legal action and wants compensation
>apologise profusely and convince him facebook messages are not legally binding/useable as a contract (although they are lol)
>seems to believe us and doesn't take any legal action
>haven't had any work in that city since
