Generalizing from my law business, I've gotten stiffed a lot more by women than men, in general, but not so much by working women, by that I mean career-oriented women. Career-oriented men and women make the best paying clients. People who have a lot of anger tend not to be good payers, either, and although of course people who are angry with me are not going to want to pay me, I mean people who tend to feel angry a lot. I see a lot of angry people in divorces, and angry people in medical malpractice cases, and they just are not good people to do business with. It could be one of those chicken-and-egg things, did the situation make them angry, or did the anger precipitate the situation? In med mal cases, the really trivial case consultations seem to come from angry people, which is why doctors are warned to work on their people skills.
