I don't have personal experience for what you are asking but I do have a couple thoughts.
1. It seems like as I get older I notice more and more how people are becoming increasingly self centered, very demanding, and have an unrealistic sense of entitlement. I won't even start on my thoughts as of why...
2. Expectations vs Results: This could be affected by either a client that doesn't actually look at your portfolio (or read your contract) thoroughly enough to know what to expect from you.
On the other hand, it could also be from not being able to consistently produce the results you are showcasing in your portfolio.
The latter was a concern I had even before I was into photography (My Brother and his wife got burned bad this way) and I partially chose my wedding photog based on the fact that he posted the entire set (>500 finished photos) from the last 3-4 months of weddings on his website for potential (and past) clients to view. There was no doubt in my mind what kind of results I would get with this kind of transparency.
So those 2 points considered I see where the OP was coming from, but I see where nate was going as well...
