Cheryl, I admire your sense of humor, your patience, understanding and respect for your signers and your willingness to help and go the extra mile even if they're not respectful of your time and profession. Sometimes it's just not possible for us to put on our good side (such as when in the face of outrageous rudeness), but in the story you relate it seems we're all in the same boat. I feel sorry for the signers of grumpy notaries. We're in their home for only a short while. Seems we can suck it up for a bit for frazzled, disorganized borrowers and move on. But whatever.
Sometimes the pressure to just get 'er done makes us relent and break the rule against separate signings. Grrr. Just did one the other night. What a nightmare, but I think it was only the second in my life. Thanks goodness. Just put on the rubber finger tip, whipped through the docs and did it. Otherwise I'd probably still be sitting there with angry stupid borrowers. (He had to get to bow and arrow elk camp where his buddies were waiting. Probably with a gallon of white lightning. Seriously? Yep.)
I feel sad you get beat up here when you're just sharing an experience in a lighthearted manner. I could totally envision the chaos. Been there done that. But Fruit Loops? Even doctors give their kids junk food, apparently. Anyway, we've all been there. The difference between you and some other loan signers is what marks a kind person. So, I hope you don't stop posting the fun stuff.
Of course, all the above goes out the window when we're talking about nasty dogs. Heehee! |
