Contracts contracts contracts!
Contract for approved scope before beginning.
Contract for payment schedule.
Contract for non-refundable deposit and clearly stating there is no "buyer's remorse" or "cooling off period".
Ever since that's been introduced, I've never had to deal with scope creep, because I just tell the client "no", and attach their signed contract for the agreed scope.

Why human language is inferior to code
TLDR: Scope creep.
Fuck it! I hate scope creep! 2 days before the deadline is due, slip in a little scope creep to bolster your already ambiguous as fuck scope! Of course, more fool me for taking on a project with a scope as ambiguous as this one. Or for accepting the 'just do x and y and your done' as gospel. But then again I enjoy paying my bills and you know, eating from time to time!
Fuck 'em! Fuck Clients! Fuck Scope Creep! Fuck Ambiguity to it's very Fucking core! Fuck it! Fuck me! Fuck code! I'm venturing under my table for a little cry and a sulk, then back at the god-damned grindstone to finish the project and all it's creepy scopy bits before the deadline tomorrow! FUCK!
