A customer's cat knocked a lens off a table, the repair bill got weird fast

Last Thursday a guy brought in a Canon 50mm f/1.8 that his cat pushed off a bookshelf. The barrel was bent but the glass was fine, so I quoted him $95 for a new barrel assembly. He asked if I could just tape it together, so I showed him the filter threads were smashed and told him it would wobble on the mount. He sighed, paid, and then asked if I could fix his cat's scratched eye next. Has anyone else had a customer try to get a pet included in a repair quote?

Honestly, that cat probably needs a vet more than your help, poor little dude.
