with a "client"

Her: I was supposed to send you my form by April 30. I put it in the mail over the weekend.

Me: So, you mailed it on May 1st or 2nd then...

Her: No, I mailed it over the weekend.

Me: The weekend was May 1st and 2nd. Never mind that. I'll just make a note in the file that you've mailed your form back.

~~~~~~~~
(the next day...)

Her: I mailed my form back, and I want to roll over my money but I don't have an institution!

Me: Well, since your deadline was April 30 (and it was now May 4), you need to get that information to us TODAY.

Her: OK, I'm going to a bank today. Is it okay if I fax the form to you?

Me: (wondering how she'll do that considering she's already mailed it) Sure. Just make sure we have that information ASAP.

Her: So things are "OK" then?

Me: Yes. I'll make a note in your file.

~~~~~~~~
(later that afternoon I get the fax. It's got the rollover institution information...on the form...the form that is allegedly in the mail to me. I decide to give the benefit of the doubt and assume she kept a copy of the form and wrote the information on her copy and faxed it to me.)

~~~~~~~~
(next day, late morning)

Her: I faxed the form to you yesterday, did you get it?

Me: Yes I did.

Her: And the original is in the mail.

Me: (because I am that much of a bitch and I just couldn't resist) And when did you mail the form to us?

Her: Uhhhhhhhhhhh Monday or Tuesday?

Me: OK, bye then!
(after I hang up I sing "liar liar pants on fire!")

(today--Thursday)

The form (the original form) arrives in today's post...with the rollover institution information and everything. I check the post mark on the envelope. She mailed it yesterday (Wednesday). She likely thinks she really pulled the wool over my eyes, too.

Amusing....
