Catherine Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 New client this year; newly divorced, never done her own taxes before, LOUD and somewhat abrasive in voice and manner. Excuses for everything; took her FOUR appointments to actually get here and bring her documents. Got a whiny call AND email from her today wanting to know why her taxes aren't done, why I haven't called her, does she have to pick up her papers, deadline is approaching (5/11 here in MA), she's worried, yadda yadda blah blah SHUT UP BITCH!!!! Meanwhile, I've sent her THREE emails in the past couple of weeks all asking for the same information over and over and getting one item out of three - maybe. The last bits I need to FINISH her stupid returns. Just venting; thanks for listening (reading) and sympathy. Now I can send her another email without being bitchy back. But her bill just went UP.

imjulier Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 "yadda yadda blah blah SHUT UP BITCH!!!!" Catherine- Hilarious! I had an image of you as being so refined....just because of going by your full name. Catherine....not Cathy, not Cat or Kitty, but Catherine. It sounds so refined and elegant. Now my image is shattered... Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail in Virginia Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am sure we have all wanted to scream that at one or more clients every year. I just did not expect to see that from Catherine! If that woman knew what a good shot Catherine is she might be a little more careful... just kidding! Although I have one or two clients that it is fun to fantasize chasing with a shotgun! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Julie, Tom, and Gail -- Thank you all for the great laugh I had reading your replies! Julie -- I have gone by my full name since I graduated from college. When you're only 5 feet tall and look like you're twelve (at age 21), you need all the "grown-up-ness" you can get your hands on. I used to substitute teach (an alternative to accounting during engineering lay-offs), and at 26, teaching in a middle school, I got asked for my hall pass by one of the other teachers! Tom -- loved your comment. Gail -- if one of my clients ever manages to move me to violence, I'll use my bare hands! But that's extremely unlikely, as I can vent here, hike their bill, and then wave a final goodbye with a big smile on my face. By and large, I have wonderful clients. And every year I fire one or two who aren't as wonderful as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack from Ohio Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 ... And every year I fire one or two who aren't as wonderful as the others. I prefer to fire those kind by everwhelming them with fees. Make them decide to go to someoene else or make the payment match the aggravation they cause.
