Yeah. The last guy who did that to me tried to call me back from hunting an hour later to redo his hair.

In the case of people in full comp armour who complain about my 15k for a stat migration, because they allegedly have no money, one guy told me "It was a gift."Let's assume that I'm willing to believe that.Then why on Earth shouldI give youa freebie too?I replied that he should ask his benefactor for another 15k and wished him a nice day.

Okay, there was this one time I missed the shuttle in Coronet because I was IDing someone in the Starport instead of catching the shuttle. Then this little pint-sized Zabrak realized I was a female Wookiee and spent the next ten minutes until the next shuttle telling me why he wanted a Wookiee wife.
Somehow it wasn't all that fulfilling.

It hasn't happened lately... but a little after the beginning at our publish, I got a lot of this (ok, first day or two I tolerated it):
Customer: Hey can u stat migrate me plz?
Me: Sure, can do sir/madam.
*Invite, open ID UI, hit Stat Migrate button*
*Wait for timer while customer goes AFK*
*Timer hits anything around 2-0 minutes*
Customer:so wat should i change my stats to?
Me: You didn't change your stats at ctrl+c?
Customer: no... u cange them. what should they be? i'm X profession
*Frustrated, RL sigh* (Ok, I understand, you didn't know that you needed to change your stats. But *why* would I know what to change them too? Do I look like a TKM, Rifleman, CM?)
*End ID session, explain how it works.*
Customer: so wat should i change my stats to?
*Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Hehe, fortunately, that doesn't happen much anymore.
*note: customer spelling is worse than it appears. I just have problems spelling improperly.

I've found that as long as they migrate their stats before either of you accept, the migration works, regardle3ss of whether they do it before the ID session is opened.

This may or may not have been mentioned..
Me: Have you shifted your stats to be as you would want them?
Customer: I want higher health and action stats...
At this point if I get a little irritated. As if I actualy have access to their stats or maybe they just dont't realize ID's can't shift their stats.
Me: It depends on what combat profession your doing. All I do is click a check box.
Customer: Rifleman.
or some other profession I have no idea what stats would be good. Again it goes to wishing sometimes customers would do a little research before going to an ID, and not want everything done for them.

Hee hee ... IQ of shoe leather ... hee hee hee ...
Actually I've found that on the occasion when people ask me to rearrange their stats for them, I assure customers that we don't get to look at their stats. Even if they never thought of it before, suddenly they don't want other people looking at their normal stats and I hear no complaints.

I couldn't beleive what some guy leveling ID in the Ent tree said to my customer...
Customer: Hi Shrew, how much for Stat Migration?
Me: 10k
Customer: Ok
Noob: What 10k? Why do you charge so much for something that costs you nothing?
Me <insert rant about this being my bread and butter> 
**edit**!!!
On top of that he has 2 boxes of ID in entertainer and is trying to take all the customers comming in the door. Yeesh.

This is what I find irrritating.
True Story
Me: Hello what can I do for you today =)
Noob: Migrate my Stats plz
Me: ok (open image window) Stat away
2 minutes pass
Noob: why haven't you changed my stats
Me: I dont adjust your stats you do that. I just allow you to
Noob: I don't know what stats are to be what can you tell me what to do?
Me: Hit cntrl-c then that button at the bottom of the window that says stat migration. Click it and slide the bars where you want them and hit done
Noob: How do I know I will be able to equip this armour when I am done?
Me: *shrug* armours have different values
Noob: whats stats do you recommend?
Me: depends on your profession, wether or not your going to hunt only with or without buffs and what armours your wearing
Noob: I dont know what I want to be yet. Just suggest something
Me: sorry I can't begin to suggest.
6 minutes
Noob: How much for this?
Me: offer what you feel is fair
Noob offers 10 credits
Me rl *sigh*
Noob: why hasn't my stats changed
Me: doesn't work until I hit commit
Noob: why havent you hit commit?
Me: see that timer? It has to be at 0 for me to do this
8 minutes
Noob:What are holoemotes
Me:type /holoemote help for info
Noob: why don't I have any?
Me I have to give them to you. Have you migrated your stats to where you want them?
Noob: Yes I think so
Me: be sure they are where you want them you only get one session
(My reasoning for this is 10 credits is ok once, but after that I rather adress the line in the tent
Timer at 0
Noob: holoemotes to plz
Me: I already have them for you
Noob: it said I have none
Me:Wait till I hit commit
Noob: will you change my hair? And if I cant wear this armour canI have another stat?
Me: No be sure its where you want it
Noob: But I dont know!
Me: Sorry I can't help you what hair you want
Noob: I dont know
K long story short. I spend another 15 min giving him the look he wants then hit commit. I go to the next customer and hes send me tells that he needs more constitution or more stamina. I repeat I only do it once for him. He keeps asking me to let him continue stat migrations till he gets it right LOL
*cry* With a line and him bothering me for the next 1/2hour I log early hahahaha I think if the person was paying what I would make doing melee missions I might want to let him keep stating when he has no clue what hes doing. That night my biggest tip was a whopping 5k

I had something similar to this happen to myself.
Noob: Stat mig. me (no please)
Me: (joy I know this will be fun) ok, that will be 10k
Noob: I only have 250 credits
Me: (*sigh*) Alright, I'll give you one this ONCE since you are new
Noob: Ok, so change my stats
Me: I can't change your stats, you have to adjust them how you want them and at the end of the 10 min. timer I will make the changes permanant
Noob: But it's YOUR job
Me: No, my job is to make your changes permanant
Noob: oh, well what do I change them to
Me: That is your decision, if you do not know I suggest you ask someone in your profession before changing them
Noob: Well find someone and ask them then
Me: That isn't my job
Noob: I pay you for it
Me: You aren't paying me anything, remember?
Noob: But I AM your customer, so find someone and make them tell you what to change my stats to
Me: No
Noob: But it's your job
Me: *sigh* No sir, it's not. I make the changes permanant, it is YOUR job to adjust them how you want them, I make the changes permanant
Noob: Why aren't you done yet
Me: 1) the timer isn't up and 2) YOU haven't changed your stats yet
*He finally asks someone what to change them to and we complete the session*
2 min. later
Noob: That didn't work, I still can't wear my armor
Me: I'm sorry, I told you to make sure before we completed the session. You will need to go do missions to earn money for the next migration. The cost is 10k
Noob: But you didn't do anything so why should I pay you 10k
Me: I put up with your whining like my 7 year old daughter for 20 min. and gave you a free migration
Noob: Well do it again
Me: No
Noob: Why
Me: Because I charge 10k for migrations, I told you that you only get ONE free migration
Noob: You are a f**king b*tch
Me: Thanks for the compliment
Noob: GIVE ME A F**KING STAT MIGRATION B*TCH
Me: Do you talk to your mother with that mouth?
Noob: GIVE ME A STAT MIGRATION UNTIL I CAN WEAR MY ARMOR B*TCH, IT'S YOUR JOB C*NT
Me: You have now been reported and added to my list of people to never associate with again in game. Also, I've added you to the Image Designers Black List Site so you will now have trouble ever finding ID work again on this server. Have a beautiful day.

Ok, I had an other annoying convo the other day.
I was standing in Theed in a 7 personbuff line, wearing full composite armor and holding a polearm. However,my Master ID title up, even though I swore up and down I had changed it to Novice Artisan. I then see this is spatial...
person: Mawie
me: Yes?
person: stat migrate me
me: No.
person: why not?
me: I am standing in a buff line, why do you think?
person: **silence**
Are people seriously this dense that they think that my wearing a title means I am working on a profession? It wasn't like this was a tell from someone across the city... the person was looking right at me. How does my wearing armor + holding a weapon + standing in a line for buffs = looking like I am goona go stand in a tent with someone for ten minutes to migrate their stats? I can forgive someone who isn't looking right at me for asking over a tell, but this guy kinda irked me...
On the brightside, most people have reacted quite kindly to me whenever I respond to them that I do not stat migrate. No one as of now has called me a name whenever I politely tell them that I don't need the exp and money isn't worth my ten minutes. That kinda rocks.
-------------------
OH, an other annoying situation I found myself in the other day.
I was standing in my merchant tent in my player city restocking my vendor when I got a tell from someone who wandered in there. She was wearing full comp armor (no helmet, thank goodness) and holding a flame thrower - both which are expensive items. She asks for a new hairstyle. Enjoying doing people's hair, I agreed to help. We spent like 6 minutes going through different hairstyles, and when we finally came across one she liked, I was quite happy. Then in the required payment box I put 2000 credits, which I think is a fair price. So I wait 30 seconds...
me: Please input 2k into the UI so I can commit to the changes.
customer: i only have 100cr
me: Well, this costs 2k.
customer: but i only have 100cr
me: Then how can youhave a flamethrower and composite armor?
customer: i baught it?
me: Well, then you need to go run some missions and get more credits before I can help you.
me: I am a businesswoman, not a philanthropist.
Then I disbanded. Christ people, even though I am "just an ID" doesn't mean I am not knowledgable about the price of stuff in this game! Rawr.

Heh. I was actually considering creating an ID character, but after reading this I don't think I could handle the annoying noobs. /comfort to all of the IDs. 
I think all professions have annoying noobs after them for one thing for another. Some of the things that annoy me are the people who see me riding my kaadu through a town and ask if I have pets for sale. Come on people, I have an architect title over my head... if I was a CH I think I'd be riding something a bit better then a kaadu.
Or when I'm sitting by a crafting station minding my own business and some noob that still has one of those horridly ugly green droids tries to start a duel with me and yells out something like "DUEL!!!!". First of all, I'm a short little artisan... secondly, even if I could fight worth beans, I wouldn't drop my crafting just to do it.
Or when I'm playing as my female rodian character. Every male rodian (and even some non-rodians) constantly hit on me... and ask me to be their "SWG GF". These people probably wouldn't know what to do if they've ever talked to a real girl.
Though my all time favorite noob comments ofstupidity deal with my name. My character's name is Adriaan Onasi. Those of you who have played KOTOR probably recognize my last name. Yes, I'm a descendant of Carth... and I'm a strict roleplayer... so I always get a bit cranky when conversations like this come up:
(I just get done training someone)
Person: Hey... an Onasi. I recognize that name!!!
Me: A lot of people do.
Person: Related to carth?
Me: Actually, yeah. I'm his descendant.
Person: How's he doing?
Me: Uhhhmmmm.... He's been six feet under for about five thousand years now...
Person: **dead silence**
