ILLMAS Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Parents if you are going to have your semi-adult kid talk to me, make sure they are awake before you pass the phone to them, I hate talking to myself and most importantly my time is important to me.

mcb39 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Parents.......if you are going to bring your two adorable toddlers into my office and home; please think about it first. I love children too, but this is business and I cannot discuss your taxes and watch your children touching all of my equipment at the same time. Not to mention turning summersaults in my good chairs. I am happy that you send me their pictures at Christmastime. I do not need to meet them in person. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "cute puppy" peed on my floor one time. Why are we putting quotation marks around "cute puppy"? Was yours ugly? Cause mine really was cute. But still not cool.

schirallicpa Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think I've got you all beat. If your going to kick out the tenants in the apts upstairs, please keep the heat on so the pipes don't break. We had the upstairs bathroom practically raining on us a couple days ago, and causing me to move files, printers, computers, lamps, chairs etc all out of my office. What a nightmare. Time to find a new office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 6 places in the house, each the size of a saucer, where a cell phone can receive signal. No chance of talking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby Normal Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have toys for the kids to play with and I love it when they bring their dogs in. I sometimes have treats for them. As for cellphones, my clients often have to call for info, so it comes in handy. I suppose they could use my my office phone, but.... germs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 One year a newly widowed lady whose husband had always handled the family financial maters came in. I looked up from the material I was reading and to my astonishment there she came lugging a small suitcase. About the time she reached my desk the latch on the suitcase released and my office floor was covered by every type of bill known to human kind. The fact she did not return the next year was a relief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have toys for the kids to play with too, but they would rather play with MY toys. I also have treats, but today chocolate was a mistake as I was wiping it up after they left. I have no issues with phones. If they need to take the call, they will ask me first if it is OK, just as I ask them if it is someone that I really need to talk to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact she did not return the next year was a relief. Once I'd just left Houston Pipeline's office and the fastener on my brief case came loose and everything spilled out. It made me think of a guy I once worked with who took three fifths of whiskey in his briefcase on out-of-town audits, so I remarked, "It's a good thing I didn't have a bottle of whiskey in there." My two assistants got a laugh out of that and suggested that you should always buy whiskey in rectangular shaped bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator wanted to see her returns, comes to find out she was a miser. Had 10 or so mobile homes in her own park, that she rented out. Learned a good lesson that year, them little ole ladies aren't always so innocent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cherry pie at the door.I guess I will have to look at their income every year from now on. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLMAS Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ah shucks, no one has ever brought me a pie or sweets, all I have I gotten is booze and a 24-pack of beer from clients and I don't even drink during office hours.

MsTabbyKats Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I got "Edible Arrangements" chocolate covered strawberries once. On the negative side, I've told clients not to bring their children. One had 4 kids...jumping in my living room. Wow....looking back, I really used to put up with a lot.
