what do you do when client calls you and asks you to do x only, and you give him a quote of $100. he never mentions anything about y or z. then he sends you a confirmation email
please start. as agreed over the phone, I will pay $100 for x and y and z.

1) this guy is too much trouble. block him
2) clarify that you are not doing y and z

I am not asking what's the "right" thing to do because obviously what's right for you may not be right for me. but what do you personally do in these situations?
 
I would politely point out that you only agreed to do x for 100$, but would be happy to do y & z at 2x-20x your regular price, depending on how important/stupid the client is. Either you get revenge and profit, or get rid of a time waster.
