0:00.0	An entitled Karen demands a full refund on the wedding photos I took for her five years ago,
0:05.4	claiming that because she got a divorce and her marriage fell apart,
0:08.3	she should get a full refund for the wedding photos that I took.
0:11.5	But after I told her, I wouldn't refund her the $3,000 she paid five years ago,
0:16.3	she's now claiming that I'm profiting off of her misery,
0:19.2	somehow shifting the blame of her marriage falling
0:21.2	apart on my shoulders. Here's what happened. I'm a 34-year-old female, and I am a wedding photographer

1:06.5	only serve as a painful reminder of a relationship that didn't last. Now, at first, I honestly
1:11.6	thought it was a joke, but she was being completely serious, meaning that she's asking for a full
1:16.4	refund, which would be about $3,000. I politely declined and explained that the service was rendered
1:22.6	in full. The photos were delivered, and she had no complaints at the time, but she insists that I am profiting
1:28.5	off of her misery and that a refund is the least I can do given her circumstances.
1:33.6	I've never encountered anything like this before, and while I do feel bad that her marriage
