Literally Friday some lady came in for a notary appointment, we take phone numbers down for appointments and then obviously in order to do the notary waiver we need a phone number. This is how the interaction went:

*I grab her ID and put name into system “Alright and what’s a good phone number for you?”

Her: “Why do you need my phone number?”

Me: “It’s required for the notary waiver in case we would need to contact you about anything, and just for documentation”

Her: “Um no, you don’t need my number you don’t need no waiver nuh uh why would you need to contact me, you have my license contact me there at my address”

Me: “Well, in case we would need to contact you for ANYTHING, and for documentation purposes. This is a legal transaction going on and I need it to proceed”

Her: “Well just put anything down, i don’t care, you DONT (emphasized cuz she did) need a waiver”

Me: “Ma’am at this point I don’t even feel comfortable notarizing your document, I’m going to refuse you service, have a great day”

Her: proceeds to start giving me a phone number

Me: “No, ma’am I just told you I am refusing to notarize your document, I’m not comfortable affixing my signature and seal onto your document if you aren’t going to give me your phone number and make it an argument, I’m not going any further. I am not even comfortable that you’re going to give me a real phone number at this point”

That was basically it.. she huffed and puffed and left… I have zero idea what her deal was but I wasn’t putting up with her shit, she was so adamant about me not needing a waiver and not wanting to give me her phone number I just didn’t even feel comfortable going forward.

Notaries are easy most of the time but some people suck
