Catherine Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 OK; this was SO adorable. Mr. (Elderly gentleman) said he hoped to see me again next year. I agreed and said we would dance. So he thought that was a great idea and so we danced out into the hall where his daughter and son-in-law were waiting for him. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Awww, that's so sweet.Thursday, I had an elderly gentleman come in with his forms to see if he had to file. I told him no, if that was all he had, he did not.He reached in his pocket and pulled out a $25 gift card from Cracker Barrel. He said, "That's what you said last year, too, and you're awful sweet to let me come in and ask. Have a big lunch on me."He got a hug. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfassett Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Some clients just have it all figured out. My elderly gentleman this week neither asked to dance nor gave me a CB gift certificate; but learned from my staff for the first time that I have a pacemaker. He immediately got up from the front desk where he was checking out , marched right back to my office, laid hands on me and proceeded to pray. When he was done he said, "you are going to make it, I have it from good authority that He's not ready for you yet". And with that, he left. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJStephens Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have a client (retired pastor) who sends in his stuff every year and every year I tell him he doesn't need to file. I go on to tell him that if there is no change next year, he won't have to file then either. I told him to just call me and let me know know what he got (It is always one 1099-R for about $5k and a SS statement). I keep telling him he is not even close to the filing threshold. Every year he sends a $25 gift card to a local restaurant. I've begged him to not do that but he insists. Some people are just unapologetically happy, generous souls. I want to be like that when I grow up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I'm pretty sure you're already one of them. Edited April 13, 2015 by RitaB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
