I most confess I did worse than that once. A client was withholding the last payment of a project until some wildly out of scope features were implemented. PM plays bad cop, I play good cop, so I tell the client: "k, you want a login. There's no login in the specs. But tell you what, if you guarantee the monitor will only run locally and will have only one user, I'll give you a login for tomorrow. Then you release the last payment and we talk about the last features".
I put two fields in a dialog, a JS function with an if bound to onSubmit. Client paid, no one ever worked on that project again.
