Last september:
I get an email from a customer who want to end the contract. I inform him that the contract runs to the end of March and it will be terminated the last of march.

Customer agrees and I do not hear a word from him. Until now when I closed down all his services.

Angry email:
Why did you close the server and email? are you **** stupid!?

I reply:
21/9 2016, you wanted to terminate all services you had with us. That means that your domains, DNS-services, VPS, email and Office 365 was going to be closed today.

Why is this not uncommon?!

    "Why is this not uncommon?!"

    Because most people don't really understand the technology they are using.
    Stuff like that happens when someone doesn't know the difference between a web browser and Google or between facebook and the internet.

    That guy said "sudo terminate contract", so it's his fucking responsibility to know what he's doing.

    If you have that agreement on paper or some other legal document you have two options:
    a) Don't give a damn
    b) Reopen but charge 3x the amount as before

    We stopped carrying about that kind of customers long ago and I have to say, it turns out it's pretty lucrative as well :P

    Feels bad the first time, but hey they didn't give a shit 'bout you so it's time to fuck back.
