Great story, I think I worked for them one time.

Of course I was young and stupid, and when the contract (for a software conversion project) had one short line saying "Add in additional changes we have come up with over the last few years" in the 3 page document, and I was assured there were just a few, I believed them, and signed the contract.

Once I had been there about a week, I was handed a 3 inch thick folder of notes, including some handwritten on napkins.

For that and several other reasons I didn't end up finishing that contract.

I would have to guess though, that most developers have had something similar happen to them.
