Bonus points if your keyboard is blank. At that point, it's just master mode.
Had a client I knew from my previous agency. Seemed like a cool guy. After I left the agency, which relocated and then dispersed, he contacted me asking for a website. I agreed. He asked if I could get started that day before he had paid me. I figured I would give him the benefit of the doubt since he was an old client. He went awol on me. Didn't pay me. Stole my designs.
Guess what? About a year later, I find out he's my neighbor at a new complex. He acted like absolutely nothing had happened. I can't stand the guy, and I found out he's doing not so good economically because his clients (he was hunting supplies contractor of some sort), bailed on him. I wonder why? Well, the shady mofo is now homeless, last I heard. He'd been sleeping on the couch of another neighbor who screwed me over. Small world.

I've tried that for my own wireframes and it never vibed with me due to the odd way it handles its 'font sizes' or whatever it is at this point.
