Disgusting borrower

I witnessed the most shocking display last night when the "man" of the house wearing dirty sweat pants that fell down several times exposing himself naked. He weighed about 400 lbs, house was filthy, was lot of swearing, etc. I should have left . I am still reeling from this experience.

Here's another one..............

A couple of years back I did a closing for a couple....... the wife was recovering from recent gall bladder surgery........ she came to the table wearing a nightgown and fuzzy slippers........ to be polite I asked how she was feeling and promised to be brief......... she began to talk about the surgery and the pain she was feeling around the incision.......... when without warning she hiked up her nightie to show me the incision!!!!! no panties, no nothing!!!!!!
Let me just say this was not a Victoria's Secret model........... I almost lost my lunch.......... the husband acted as if nothing happened............ aahh!

ewwww. That is what those pain meds do for ya. No inhibition. Another story. Last night I had a closing with the borrower & broker. A rotund sorta fella. Deeeeeeep nose breather and FOUL breath. yuck. I polietly offered him a mint (to save my life). Not nearly as gross as your stories but what we have to put up with. LOL even if they look dirty, I will leave my pen there since I don't want to touch it again. Needless to say, I have an endless supply of realllllly cheap pens.

Remember to have hand lotion of sorts in your bag. Just casually put some on your hands and as you are rubbing it into you hand just casually, rub underneath your nose. This will leave the scent of the lotion near your nose to breathe. Helps for stinky homes also.

THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO!

Wife's eyes are all red swollen and pussing! EWWWWWWW! She goes through about a 1/2 a box of tissues during the closing, wiping a way eye snot. She says, don't worry the doctor says it's a virus, my husband gave it to me! Oh, okay so Notary Closers can't catch it only spouses, uh huh. At the end of the closing I said they could keep the pens, my GOOD pens! I was out of my cheepo's. They were sooo happy.

Have had a few in the years I have been signing. One I can remember, EWWWW I can still smell it! Walked into a house that was used for the animals to poop and pee in and I guess when the family was done eating they either smeared the food on any surface of the home or just left the dishes anywhere with the food on it. I stuck to the table, so did the docs, to make matters worse, the wife was cooking rancid sausage in a slow cooker right on the table! The smell was unbelievable! I was absolutely green!!! As soon as I got back home the brief case gets emptied on the driveway, I take all clothes off in garage and re-shower! UGH! So disgusting!

I had a guy who kept sneezing, and picking his nose, and wiping it on the BACK of the forms. It was awesomely funny realizing the title company would have no idea what they were dealing with....I know I am mean, but i can't help it.

Ok, so for those of us who enjoy this job,

Does all this mean we are really good at rolling with the punches or a touch masochistic?

Re: Ok, so for those of us who enjoy this job,

At least the guy was "Alive". My husband is Fire Chief. They were called to a home yesterday by a neighbor who hadn't seen the man for days. Police, Fire & EMS entered the home. Found a man dead in his easy chair. Only 51. Sad. Hubby said the house was an absolute mess. There was not a clear path to walk through. They actually used a shovel to clear a path to wheel him out on the gurney. Bugs, trash, toliet had not been flushed in who knows how long. He came home, took his clothes off in the garage and took his fire gear to the cleaners.

Really makes you wonder what EMS personnel see also when they go to peoples homes in an emergency.

I had one last Friday night...Chain smoker. I rang the door bell, he opened the door and a cloud of smoke rolled out. When he asked me to come in, I said we would need to do the signing outside because I wasn't willing to inhale second hand smoke for 45 minutes. He kinda laughed a little thinking I was joking, but I was serious and he ended up bringing out 3 chairs, one for each of us to sit on and one for him to sign on. I think the neighbors he solicited as witnesses were pretty glad I conducted the signing outside...they didn't appear to be smokers and seemed pretty happy not to have to enter his smoker.
