I had an ad out looking for someone to do my tax return. Ray responds to it.
We talk on the phone & he tells me it will be $50. He knew I had a small business, I told him I had a P & L statement, I was upfront about everything.
It’s my fault for even wasting my time to go over to this guy’s place. The warning signs were there when I asked for references & he proceeds to tell me off as if asking for references is the most ridiculous thing a person could do when hiring someone. He then proceeds to tell me he doesn’t need references, he used to be a cop, & ALLLL of the tax returns he has in his place is reference enough.
I decided to trust him, but he was strange on the phone & that should have made me refrain, but I was desperate, so I went with my heart instead of my internal spiritual guidance.
I go over with all my paperwork after struggling to even find his place because the number to the building was very far from the road. When I commented on this just in conversation (like Ray, you should tell people the building is hard to find), Ray proceeds to defend the building as if I’m the one at fault. I ignore him, but it’s hard to, the guy is huge & older & while I don’t care about a person’s size or age, he was starting to give me the creeps.
He tries showing off something he sells online as if I care about what he sells online. It looked fake to me anyway.
He starts reading over my papers & starts grilling me about what I do. In fact after I was out of there I remember it looked like he didn’t even know what he was reading.
The next thing I know, he says, “sorry, I don’t want your business.” I’m like WHAT???? You cost me money by me driving all the way over here running around in circles, wasting gas & my precious time?
He’s like $50 isn’t worth it.
He doesn’t say it will be a little more, or explain himself, he just has this arrogant attitude like he doesn’t care that he not only wasted my time & money, but he knew I was desperate to get it done.
I swore at him several times & got out of there. I needed to get away from this creepy inconsiderate human.
In the end it all turned out for the better as all things in life do. My bookkeeper said he’d train himself on doing my return & now I get someone who’s nice, professional, respectful who will do an excellent job.
