There are only two people in my office |
|
My husband and me.
A man just came in asking to speak with my husband (he's a lawyer) and I showed him in to my husband's office (there are three rooms to our office, a reception area, my husband's office and my office).
The guy sat down and actually, looking at my husband, waved to me and said in a high pitched voice, "Bye-bye" as I was walking out closing the door behind me.
I realize I'm not the lawyer, but I do everything else in this office, and if that jerk thinks being rude to me is going to help his case.....:grr:

1. Maybe your hubby should say Buh-bye to him? |
|
I know that's what I'd do if someone did that to my sweetheart.

6. He does defer to me on some cases |
|
I also do my best to remember that this is how we pay our bills and we can't always like our clients.

8. He might not know I'm married to the boss |
|
I'm going to talk with my husband after he leaves (he has made people apologize to me in the past when they have treated me rude thinking I was 'only' the receptionist..like it matters).
One client (who got my husband out of bed on my birthday) brought me candy the next day as an apology...we like him!

5. Look at it the other way |
|
His rudeness probably helped land him in a lawyers office, waiting to 'wink wink' pay through the nose for being an arrogant ass.

11. You mean we can raise the rates for Pain-In-The-Ass clients? |

13. I always had an "A" factor in my pricing |
|
If the client was an asshole it got multiplied in. Usually if it was called for it wasn't enough to cover the aggravation.
