Janitor Bob Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Client (mom and adult daughter) have appointment at 5:30pm. At 5:20, I look out window and see car parked outside. I assume it the mom or daughter waiting for the other....time goes by and I'm busy doing taxes until my 6pm appointment arrives. I let her in and she asks "do you know 2 people are just sitting in a car outside?". As I finish with 6pm client at 6:20, 5:30pm clients ANGRILY come to my door and yell at me because they's been sitting outside in their car for an hour. Why were you sitting in your car...your appointment was for 5:30pm? "Well we did not know if you were home!" "Of course I was home...that is why I scheduled you for 5:30...but if you were unsure, you could have just called me." "Yeah, well we do not have one of those fancy smart phones!" what is wrong with people? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 That is bizarre. I assume they each have two functioning legs and a finger, or two, to walk up to your door and ring the bell!?!?! I guess you don't have a neon sign in the window - "OPEN". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medlin Software, Dennis Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 "what is wrong with people?" Apparently nothing, since it never is "their" responsibility I have neighbors who are livid the USPS is not paying for a damaged cluster box. Of those of us who are wise enough to know the facts, none of us are dumb enough to take on the responsibility of funding the replacement and install, then trying to get payment from all the neighbors. There are some misinformed folks in my neighborhood, who will be livid whomever eventually pays for the replacement will be asking them for their share of cost to get access to one of the boxes. (We had little mail to our address, long ago favoring a PO Box. Our route has no regular carrier, so it often comes after dark, with a temp or OT carrier, and the accuracy of what gets put into each slot is less than what one would reasonably expect.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 You'd think that, if you could look out the window and see them in the car, they could look in the window and see you moving around inside and know you were home. (You do move around a little while you're working, don't you?) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbelle Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 J.B. ~ Did you discontinue "curb-side / car-hop" service? I'm sure you offered such service years ago. (ATX was in Maine & we saved taxes in early a.m. hrs) Stay safe & good season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee B Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 It all balances, some of us win the genetic lottery and some of us crawl thru the ditches of life. I am feeling very philosophic this morning, while I recover from surgery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHoffman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 cbslee - get well soon! That screeching sound when I ask for a year end brokerage account 1099 "Tax form", and instead get 100 pages of various interim statements. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
