Well, in the example of the concrit, you can argue that yes, the client was getting more than they bargained for, but... they're also getting less. Granted this is my experience, but when someone asks for blunt concrit but doesn't really expect blunt concrit, what they expected instead was compliments. They expected their beta (me, in that case) to say, "OMG, this is fantastic I loved it and I couldn't find anything wrong! <3 <3"

But that's not what they got, so in their mind, they did get less than what they wanted from me and the services I offered. It's all in the perspective.


What are they going to get upset about, "you didn't make this fic a million times better and it didn't get me a hundred more reviews than I usually get"?

I can see this happening. Not with reasonable people, of course, but you won't always be dealing with reasonable people on the internet. Quite often, you won't know they're not reasonable people until they erupt. IA, it would definitely be a case of "too bad for them!", but that wouldn't really help whoever it was they were mad at.
