I'm kinda tired of saying this, but no special requests means NO SPECIAL REQUESTS. I'm getting pretty exhausted from people coming to me saying they were referred to me asking for something super unusual, or just straight up being referred to me for candy cabs, benches, poster frames, or other things that I very openly and explicitly am not dealing with. While I'm sure some people just don't realize, for others it's blatantly disrespectful and harmful.
I am limiting the services I offer for a reason. I work insanely hard, and barely keep the essentials running as it is. I've eliminated services that require an inordinate amount of effort for the return, have too many problems to keep doing efficiently, can be serviced by others, etc., because I have a tendency to help anyone with anything if asked, regardless if I know it will harm myself. Taking on too much is only going to ruin me. Additionally, I deal with enough hatred and vilification from unintelligent individuals in the community already, which puts a lot of strain on me mentally. I don't need more reasons to be upset and give them excuses to point at me and say "SEE LOOK, HE'S THE ASSHOLE! FUCK HIM!" It happens.
Please respect my request to not ask after things that aren't outlined in my listings. It is not helping anyone.
