...why people don't like solicitors.
I've been acting for sellers on the sale of a company for the last 6 months - while the buyers have dragged their feet and been awkward. We are completing tomorrow, so I hand delivered all the signed papers to this solicitor's office today. His secretary went to check to see if he had any papers to give to me, came back and said not. Well there I was standing in the bloke's office and he didn't have the courtesy to come out and say hello.
So I said to the secretary that I didn't think he existed. She looked a bit startled by this, so I said 'well I've been dealing with him on this transaction for six months now and he has yet to return a single phone call'. Which is perfectly true
