That would be like hiring an architect for your house, then treating them like a taxi driver. Probably not a good idea, and definitely an unprofessional attitude.

I have to ask... Are you providing detailed requirements up front, or are you pushing an waterfall / scope-creep project on someone, then expecting them to be psychic? Once they deliver the bound-to-be-wrong project, you get to wave your "King Stick" at them and tell them how they messed up. Good one.

i can only speak about myself - and i usually prepare stuff for my programmer very well. And he understands the way i prepare it and usually builds it that way. But I am the one who pays and if he forgets something or fails to test the code before he puts it live and screws something up, i have the right to be unhappy.
Like my clients have the right to be unhappy when we screw something up they paid for. then it's my obligation to fix things instead of argueing or getting cocky.
Feel free to ask any of my clients if they're happy with my service, i would dare to say you will get a very positive feedback.
And the same attitude that i have towards my clients who pay me, i have towards the people I pay. Nothing more and nothing less.
