This is going to be one of those days in which everything/one is going to annoy me right?
I order a bacon cheese burger only mustard.
Voice in drive-thru box: It doesn't come with mustard.
Me: Can you add mustard?
Voice: Ummmm...yes? So you want mano, lettuce, tomato, onions & mustard.
Me: No, I want ONLY mustard.
Voice: Do you want cheese & bacon?
Me: I ordered a bacon cheese burger.
Voice: Yes?
Me: Is it a bacon cheese burger without bacon and/or cheese?
Voice: Ummmm... no...I guess it would be hamburger.
Me: Did I order a hamburger only mustard?
Voice: No. (after a brief pause) ...so you don't want the mayo, lettuce tomato and onions?
Thirty minutes later I'm at home trying to work on my labs when my phone rings; it's the reverse mortage company. She sounds young and unsure of what to say next; this is not the woman that I've been dealing with the last six months or so.
Her: I'm calling about the property at _____________________.
Me: Yes?
Her: We have reports that it's vacant.
Me: You mean when I called to let you know Dad died & asked what were my options?
Her: Yes.
Me: ...ok? <silence from her - a long uncomfortable silence> Nothing's changed, he's still dead.
Her: Ummm... well .. uh... we just needed to know ..um... if.. uh.. is it still being maintained?
Me: <Confused> Maintained?
Her: Uh..yes, it's vacant right?
Me: Yes, as I said, he's dead & no longer living there or anywhere else.
Her: Yes... but is the property still maintained?
Me: I don't know what you're asking; why don't you tell me what you want to know?
Her: Are you going to sell the property or what? Are the lights & water still on?
Me: I was told I had six months to make that decision; it's barely been two.
Her: ...oh yes that's true, just let us know when you've decieded.
Me: Ok <another uncomfortable silence> Is there anything else?
Her: Uh...no... goodbye.
