I don't have a problem with unfixed specs by themselves.  The problem is
when the customer thinks they have fixed the spec but its a long way from
usable, and they think you're trying to rip them off in writing a real spec.

And as others have said, the worst type of customer is the one that tries to
tell me how easy the project is.  This is second only to "Our guy Vinny is
80% done and can't quite seem to finish, so we just want you to do the last
20%, and of course we expect to only pay 20% of what Vinny originally quoted
us.".  Unfortunately these type of people usually pop up right after the
economy takes a dive, so you aren't is a good position to turn down work.
