I just had the single worst week for getting paid in 5 years of freelancing
Last week was a nightmare. I had three clients all decide to hold payments at the same time for no good reason. One said they "needed more time to review the work" even though I sent it two weeks ago. Another claimed their accounting software glitched and they'd pay me next month instead. The third just stopped answering emails entirely after I invoiced them for $850. I spent almost 10 hours total just chasing down money instead of doing actual work. By Friday I was ready to scream into a pillow. Has anyone else ever had multiple people string them along in the same week like that?

That triple payment delay combo is the freelancer equivalent of stepping on a rake in the dark.

Ha! @the_riley hit it exactly right - that's the freelancer equivalent of a cartoon anvil dropping on your head.
