The $150 logo that came with zero revisions, then a lawsuit threat

Took a job from a guy who runs a food blog. Paid $150 up front for a logo. Simple deal, one revision round. He sent 14 messages in an hour after the first draft. Wanted me to change fonts, colors, and the whole concept. I did the one revision. He said it was trash and demanded his money back. I said no, work was done. He threatened to sue over a logo that cost less than my grocery run. Blocked him and moved on. Has anyone else dealt with a client who thinks $150 buys unlimited do-overs?

That "trash" comment hits close to home. I saw a story last week where a designer did a $50 gig and the client sent a 3 page document of changes, then filed a PayPal dispute when told no. The lawsuit threat over a $150 logo is laughable though. Lawyers cost more than that just to answer the phone. These clients always think the threat of legal action is free leverage, but they never actually follow through. Your grocery run comment made me snort, because it's true, a cart of basics costs more than that logo.
