The startup I've been contracting for complained that "we" are not "innovating" and wants to have meetings with me where we figure out how the business end of their startup will work.
Basically, they have come up with a basic idea and they know they want an app, but they have no idea about what they want their order; payment and delivery flows to look like, and they say they can't figure it out without my help.
That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

They complain to me that I'm working too slowly, yet they don't get how trying to delegate tasks to incompetent trainees who constantly need my help would cause my own work to get delayed.
They complain to me that their business plan has no details, yet they don't get that this is their job, and that their idea isn't worth jack shit before they figure that out. I'm there to create the technology once they've figured out what they want it to do.
I want out of this contract.

This, I suppose, is the point where I have to put my foot down and complete what the contract says I'm supposed to complete and absolutely nothing else, just so I can get them out of my hair.
