Mom always said...

Mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..." , I wish some people listened to their mothers more.

I've been a little lacking in the blog - and we all have one special person to blame, or thank, however you take it!  These past few months, three to be exact (not that I'm counting), I've had one BIG, HUGE trial of my patience, wits and Hoosier Hospitality.  From the beginning of this particular transaction, I should have known I was in for a ride, but I wouldn't have ever guessed this would be the trip I would take.  You see, some people just aren't nice people.  Not for any reason, but to just be un-nice.  I've been good about recognizing this from the start, and not take anything this person has to say personally, but there have been many a prayers said to hold my own tongue.  Just as I feel my blood start to boil, thankfully, I've been able to listen to my mothers words, and not say anything at all.  "Kill 'em with kindness", she's also reminded me on many occasion.  Which I have had to recall, before having to return a phone call or two or five....

But, I guess my real question is, why?  Not why do I have to be the one to be nice, but why do you have to act this way?  What does it change?  Degrading me or spouting off your credentials in previous transactions doesn't change the position we are in on our current one.  You are spinning your wheels in a shared mire, just to spray mud onto me.  Look again, kind sir, you're neck deep in this, too!  AND, if you were to actually take a breath between your disparaging remarks, you may realize that I had no control over the situation we are both in!  So, please, stop displacing your anger and disgust on me (said with a smile, of course). 

Thankfully, this abuse is about to come to an end - as we are to close this Friday morning.  And I even have an even better closing to move on to, with a wonderful agent and flawless transaction from beginning to end!  What a way to end the week -

Until next time, In This Market.....stay kind, Indianapolis....:D
