But damn, when I DO ask and you don’t deliver, I will kick your figurative ass.

Take my mortgage holder, National City. They cold call us hard and fast for awhile trying to up-sell services we neither want nor need. Then they disappear into the ether for weeks and weeks.

They just started calling me again last week, leaving these weird, vague messages that would lead a reasonable person to conclude something might be wrong.

I called the woman back who’d called me, and specifically asked for a return call detailing what her call was for- and that if it were necessary to leave me a message, to please explain the nature of the issue at hand.

No response. Until about 5 minutes ago, when she called and left me another vague message.

Someone in Tacoma is getting a post-lunch beatdown from yours truly.
