Neuw Yawrker

Colorful signing today.

I had a colorful flourish to Last Day to Sign.

On arrival, the borrower informed me (in a very heavy Bronx accent) that he was pretty angry about the run-around he had been given by the lender.

I *instantly* explained that I am the Neutral Notary and don't work for the lender. I work for all the lenders. Or at least as many as I can.

Borrower calms down.

I clear table. Borrower signs journal. Copy of ID put in my briefcase. We start to go over the loan docs.

We get to the sheet that explains the total monthly payment: loan payment plus property tax.

Borrower hits roof. "That is NOT what they told me! I am cancelling this loan right now!"

I said "Fine, I am the neutral notary. I have no problem with you cancelling this signing." May I explain something about the tax portion of the payment?"

He listens. His face tells me he is not a Happy Camper.

"Let's call the loan officer" I chirp.

He does so.

I hear his side of the conversation. His statements to the loan officer are the same as the ones he made to me. Additionally, he says "Why would I increase the life of my loan by 8 years just to lower my payment by $30 a month?"

Then silence: an indication he was listening to the LO.

Suddenly, the borrower yells "WHAT! WHAT! WELL, F--- YOU! F--- YOU!" and slammed down the phone hard.

I said "What did she say?"

The answer: she said "I thought you had the intelligence to understand this."



Nobody, I mean NOBODY, can say "F--- YOU" like a New Yorker!!!

Can't beat this job for entertainment!

Another ingredient for your Notary Bag; A good ol' fashioned bar of Fuller Soap!

Worked when I was a kid. (Blow bubbles for a week after) LOL!

Wash your mouth out....

And I thought I was the only one on the Boards old enough to know what

"Wash your mouth out with with a bar of soap" was a standard punishment for!

Re: Wash your mouth out....

I will never forget when my son was about 6 years old.

I forget the conversation, but he had said something about golf or something, and I teasingly said "Go wash your mouth out with soap" He disappeared, reappearing a few minutes later saying he didn't like the taste of the soap! He had thought I meant it literally! Got to watch what we say to our kids! LOL

Re: Wash your mouth out....

Mother tried that with a smart-aleck kid when she taught Sundayschool. He ate the soap.

Re: Wash your mouth out....

Was nothing like an oral injection of good ol' LAVA soap (with pumice) to assist a 9 year-old (me) to keep it clean! Ow!

Re: I don't swear, but fed ex made me want to today!!!

Title did not request a signature. fed ex decided not to leave package, wouldn't redeliver and insisted I pick it up at the hub, Which meant reschedule appointment and drive for miles. Turned up at fed ex they told me there should not have been a problem to leave the package. Fed ex guy have a bad day or something and decided i was getting the run around, wanted to hand him more than soap lol!!!
