ReliaClose not so reliable?

Well I got a call Thursday to have a refinance Friday at 1pm by ReliaClose. They said it was edoc and it was roughly 25 miles one way from my home AND it was for a spanish client. luckily I speak both english and spanish. They gave me a fee of $XXX.XX; I called them back and said sure but change the time 2pm ( I had a previous engagement to settle so I needed time in between) for XXX.XX due to driving and for being bilingual too. They said alright and they would call Title company. I got a call back Thursday saying they are awaiting the Title company and come Friday I got no call or anything. I decided to call and spoke to a nice fella and he said nothing was in the works for 2pm perhaps it was canceled. He even asked "You didn't get a call back about this?" Nope.

Some people just have no business edicate. A simple call to say hey it's canceled would have been nice.

Hardy har har haha thanks for the support ladies

Yes, I got a good vibe with them and they seemed real nice when I spoke on the phone, maybe my fee drove them or the Title company off. Can't give away business these days.

***Hardy har har haha thanks for the support ladies***

For what it's worth, the issue having arisen in an earlier post, it's "HEARTY har har," not "Hardy har har."

But according to the Urban Dictionary:

1. Hardy Har Har Har

"Hardy Har Har Har", I just ate your cookies

Found no reference to "HEARTY har har"

Re: The spelling police here...according to Urban Dictionary

Sylvia FL defends the use of "Hardy har har." I can't let an issue of this magnitude, with its obvious ramifications for the welfare of us all, go unchallenged. So...

Americans have a seemingly inexhaustible penchant for corrupting language, whether their own or those of other peoples. The reasons are several: cultural influences, cross pollination with other languages, difficulties of pronunciation when importing from other tongues. However, the biggest single reason for debasing English seems to be simple ignorance. Witness the degradation of the word “unique,” which alone in the language used to mean one-of-a-kind; now it simply means rare or unusual. Or “comprise”, which once was 180 degrees opposed to “compose”; today, they supposedly mean the same thing. A wonderful example is “flammable”; just how does that differ from “inflammable”?

One of the results of our inclination to treat our language like a table knife, to be used as a dining implement, tack hammer or screw driver, depending upon how slothful we are in choosing the implement for a given task, rather than respecting it as the finely honed tool it is, is the Urban Dictionary. Far from an authoritarian source of the uses of language, it is instead a compilation of slang >>defined by the users themselves<< – which too often can be translated, not as the vox populi but as the product of those too lazy to learn how to speak or write correctly.

“Hearty” and “hardy” are near-homonyms, which means they sound quite similar. However, they mean substantially different things: “Hearty” means “merry, blithe, from the heart.” “Hardy” means “daring, courageous, of a healthful constitution.”

The original term was “hearty har har,” as in a laugh straight from the heart. “Hardy har har” is a corruption, probably stemming from people who read little but have heard the similar term “hearty har har” and confused it with the homonym.

"Americans have a seemingly inexhaustible penchant for corrupting language"

That I cannot disagree with. When I arived in America, I found that I needed to learn American! To spell colour, neighbour etc without the U, and to use aluminum instead of aluminium. To say pocketbook instead of handbag etc,

Two countries divided by a common language.
