Picasso complied and then said, &amp;quot;That will be $10,000.&amp;quot;
  
  &amp;quot;But you did that in thirty seconds,&amp;quot; the astonished woman replied.
  
  &amp;quot;No,&amp;quot; Picasso said. &amp;quot;It has taken me forty years to do that.&amp;quot;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

In this case, the biggest part from the bill would be the time to drive to your home. Also it is not just one minute work. It is also the time he took the phone call, prepare, maybe load some special tools on the car, then drive, work, drive back, clean everything, replace some tools, oils, make the paperwork and so on.&lt;p&gt;I did once a kind of such work as electrician, once on a weekend I got a pikett call, the work was done in 10 minutes. I wrote 1.5 hours, then of course a drama .. but finally, even these 1.5 hours was not enought with all the time I spend frome home to back home this saturday morning, because she could not open here electric door.</text><parent_chain><item><author>nip</author><text>One day you come home and realize that you locked yourself out of your home.&lt;p&gt;You call the locksmith.&lt;p&gt;He arrives, looks at the door, fiddles with the lock for one minute, opens the door then leaves.&lt;p&gt;The next day you receive the bill, 150€.&lt;p&gt;Are you mad for spending so much for one minute of work?&lt;p&gt;You shouldn’t: you paid for the experience that allowed him to open it in 1 minute.&lt;p&gt;—&lt;p&gt;Recalling it from a discussion with a friend of mine on a related subject: the cost of experience.</text></item><item><author>zenincognito</author><text>I once went to court against a client who wouldn&amp;#x27;t pay his bills.
