A 4 AM chat with another freelancer changed how I handle rush jobs

I was venting to this guy at an all-night diner in Austin about a client who pushed a 2-week project up to 3 days, and he said 'you're not a hero, you're a doormat with a laptop.' That hit different because I realized I kept saying yes to every last-minute panic just to feel needed, so now I quote double the rate and half the hours I actually expect. Anybody else try pricing craziness to scare off deadline flip-floppers?
