That's what you assume. It's called priority. Yes, all projects should be done as quickly as possible but sometimes that's just not realistic.
When someone pays you $10k to do something and someone else comes along with a $100 project.... you get the idea which one gets the higher priority.
A programmer will tell you straight up that he's very busy and "will get to it when he can" and give you a tentative time line... "I can try for tomorrow" or something like that.
If you give someone $100, that doesn't meant that he's at your beck and call 24/7 until your work is done. You're just a small piece of pie out of a very large work load.
A lot of times that small project gets referred to someone else, or just denied, or tried but failed.... it sucks but it happens a lot in the programming world.
He tried, couldn't get it into the schedule and offered you back your money. So take it and this $100 drama and find someone else.
