To a large part it is because people who are conventionally employed seem to think that not being conventionally employed is the same as doing nothing. I am thus assumed to be available for everyone all the time, like a glory hole or a 7/11. However, they stack their demands of my time, even--and perhaps especially--concerning business, the reasoning being that the Conventionally Employed have schedules to work to, and I, presumably, do not. I'm strongly considering introducing a 50% weekend/after hours fee on everything I do, to combat this conceit.
There's also the fact that weekends are supposed to be downtime. I do not get downtime. I resent everyone who does, and especially those who flaunt it with their TGIFs and their Hump Days, their regular paychecks and annual leave. Which I think is probably your complaint as well, yes?
