Providing my name and phone number to the neighbor was a professional act, but I knew what would happen and it did.
?ÿ
Her:?ÿ Oh, my God, the police have been out here four times since you left yesterday.
Me:?ÿ Wow.
Her:..........................................................................................................................................................(she said a whole bunch of stuff that was not related to a survey issue).......................................................
Me:?ÿ That's very interesting but it has nothing to do with the survey.?ÿ Good bye.
I had to stop a client the other day. She started telling me all about her neighbors and such, and she had already done this with others in the office. I am quite certain she did not want to pay my rate for me listening to her talk.?ÿ
Just say "Oh, please tell me more. I charge by the hour and could use the rest listening to you."
I didn't know courting is a profession.
You can have her.
I am sorry if this happens to be any poster's ex-wife.?ÿ But, I can give you directions to her current location.
Oh, man.?ÿ Thanks for the belly laugh.?ÿ Good thing I had nothing but hot air in my mouth when I read your response.?ÿ Still chuckling!
You can pass my apologies along to your janitorial service.
