Happy Monday Don't ya know? not.
So today at 9:20am i'm on my way to Redondo to meet a lady at her rental property and she calls me in the car. What i can't recreate here is the grating tone and "i'm so put out" attitude she has...dumbass rich put-upon lady. her poor husband. Our appointment is at 9:45am:
Mrs Dumbass: "hi, i'm waiting for you, are you on your way"
me: "well, yes, i'm on my way. Traffic has been kinda tough...i may be 10-15 minutes late. I'm sorry about that"
Mrs D: *audible huff, then a sigh* "Well, i don't know if i can wait..i have to be at work, and the tenants are waiting too."
me: "well, I'm still not late. Our appt IS at 9:45...I'm coming from Corona. I regret that you're feeling put out."
Mrs D: " you should be on time--it's part of your job. I have to go to work! The people have pets and they're waiting to go to work too."
me: "I can appreciate your point of view, I'm racing like mad to get there, but i can't contol the traffic. I'm not trying to put you out any...really. Your tenants don't need to be there, they should just go."
Mrs D: *more grumbling* "They want to be here while i'm here. Tenants are like that. So, you're going to be here in 30 minutes?"
me: "I'm trying real hard to be accomidating. I can't control the traffic. I really can't. I can only do my best"
This is where she says okay...and hangs up. So now i'm driving really fast and I'm about at the 91 and the 605. She calls back...it's 9:30am--for the record--i'm still not late yet.
Mrs D: "I'm not waiting anymore--come back tomorrow, and we'll meet then"
me: "I already have appointments all day tomorrow--it'll have to be Wednesday" Now i'm thinking that i should just put this off till the weekend, but might as well get it over with.
Mrs D: "okay--meet me at 9am Wednesday"
me: "okay--we have an appt today for 9:45 and it's not working out so well--Going earlier isn't going to make it better. How about 9:30 since traffic is hard to gauge and that extra half hour makes a world of difference..."
Mrs D: "Fine. Be on time"

Don't piss off your appraiser! If I was feeling vengeful and mean, and if I didn't have any integrity i could totally fuck you and your refi over. please!
What she didn't and couldn't understand was that even if i was on time, the inspection was going to take 45-60 minutes anyway--so even if i was late, i could have hurried the inspections and everyone would have left on time anyway. Everything would have been fine anyways--what a waste.
Some people are so inflexable. How sad that she has to go through the world wound to tight and can't give any little bit, for fear of being out of control. What a sad, miserable existance.
Wednesday I'm going to be there at 9am and be done when she arrives at 9:30...then she can give me my check and i'm going to bail. The less i'm around her the less likely i'll want to beat her down verbally. Then i'm going to her bank and cashing her check. This person is just one of those bitchy griping women who make all the rest of the female race look bad.
I'm plenty busy without her little drama-rama lameness.
*edited to add:
I'm all bitchy too. sorry. I've been doing 14 hour days, 3 appts a day for a week and i'm wearing down. but it's funny to read later.

Amen!
I'm nearly always late, I would SO not cope with someone who is bitching at me when it is not even the time we arranged to meet....
rich people are a pain in the ass.... we had one customer who said "make sure you break that piece of cabinetry up REALLY small....I don't want anyone thinking they can salvage it for free... if they want to give me a hundred for it...so be it"
this in reference to a marble topped kitchen island made of mahogany she was removing to remodel her kitchen...
priveledged, entitlement makes me naseous..
