This guy was none to friendly anyway. When I called him early yesterday morning to confirm his 8am appointment a lady answered and I said,"Mrs. Patterson... She said she wasn't Mrs. Patterson and she said hold on (I thought I had dialed a wrong number.) Then he got on the phone and confirmed. When I looked at his check I got from him it stated Mr and Mrs. Patterson... I wonder who "she" was answering his phone 7:30 AM.?
