Hipster who knows nothing about art!

I find it amusing and it angers me when someone wants design work for free or little to no money. I can understand when a friend or family member wants something small done, like an invitation or calendar. It's when a person posts a message on a website looking for someone to design their website or brochure, for nothing. Why in god's name would I want to do a website for someone I don't know, for free? Who would ever have the nerve to ask someone to do this for them?

It just so happens, I recently came across a person like this. I saw a posting on craigslist recently and it made me angry enough to give a reply to this person. The listing is below.

Hi i'm a photographer and i was looking for someone to design a website for me where i can upload images each week. It will be fairly big. A contact page, biography, resume page, image page with 5-6 image pages. I'm looking for something sophistocated and fairly simple but also creative. I'm not sure what flash is but i don't think i would need that maybe a slideshow for each image page. I'm still a student so i'm looking for someone starting out or another student who is not too expensive. Please e-mail me back how much you would charge, a website or examples of your work, and how long it would take.
Thanks,
Lauren

It pissed me off that someone who is a photographer and student can't muster up the strength and time to learn how to do it on their own. So, I had to send a reply to tell this person. My email chain is below.

ME:
Are you kidding? Learn to do it or don't ask for help. It's sad to think 
you're an artist, but can't learn to do it for yourself. 

HER:
I guess you think graphic designers are considered
artists. Not so much. Yes, i could easily make a
amateur website (which i have done by the way)...if i
wanted to do graphic design, thats what i would do.
Who the hell do you think you are anyway. I'm sure
your just some stupid hipster that knows nothing about
art. 

ME:
Any real graphic designer has an art background. It's just funny that you want someone to do for you, for free.

I'm sure there will be more to come because, I can tell she is a feisty one and won't back down.
