My secretary found this in Dear Abby..(I am a CPA for those that dont know)..this is so true...

I am a hardworking CPA, recovering from another busy tax season. Along with my colleagues, I become a little crazed during that frantic time of year. May I share some tips with your readers so next year their appointments will go more smoothly?

1. Feel free to answer your cell phone during our appointment. I have nothing else to do, so please don't be concerned that you're taking up extra time.


2. Do bring your small children along. Yes, they may be bored, but I love entertaining them instead of giving you my full attention.

3. By all means drop by without an appointment to ask a question. So what if I'm talking to another client! I don't mind dropping what I'm doing to talk to you because, again, I'm not busy.

4. There is no need to expect to pay for our services when you pick up your tax return. After all, it's not like buying a gallon of milk. And be assured I don't mind putting your return ahead of all the others because you need your refund to go to the Caribbean. Of course you are more important than the conscientious clients who got their information here ahead of you.

5. The remaining 95 percent of my clients are a joy to work with, so don't forget what put you in that 5 percent.
 
Sounds like waiting behind someone at the bank drive through that is not prepared.......pisses me off.

Or standing in line behind someone at a fast food joint.
Instead of looking over the menu while the guy in front of him orders from a list for 17 people he stands there in a coma.

When the order taker finally say's "Is this for here or to go?" he has to think about it before he answers.
Then when asked what he would like he stands there rubbing his chin trying to figure out what he wants. (Why weren't you doing that while the guy in front of you was ordering?)
After changing his mind four times he is given his total at which time he acts like he's been bitch slapped and hesitates before reaching for his wallet.
Half the time they pull out a handful of change and put it on the counter for the order taker to count.
I don't know how these people survive from day to day.
