A few days back I had papers to serve on a woman that I knew was ducking service. At night, I could see the lights on in her apartment and even see movement inside. She would not answer the door.
So I tried several times of day to catch her. I had figured out what car was hers so I sat out from zero-dark thirty to wait for her to go to work or whatever. After a couple of hours, I see a woman that fit the description given to me walking to the car.
I call her by name tell her who I am and try to hand her papers. She has that "deer in the headlights" look and tried to ignore me as she gets into her car. (she has two toe-headed kids in tow). After she opens the driver's door, she gets in and I drop the papers in her lap. BOOM! She has been served.
I guess she thought she could "unserve" herself. She opens the door and throws the papers on the ground.
I informed her it did not matter what she did with the papers, as she had been served.
She then drove off...
I guess she tears up traffic tickets expecting them to go away too.

Happy New Year
Well, 2012 went and 2013 has arrived. I have mixed feelings about business, as it was doing really well, but the holidays gave me a really big slow down. Couple that with a few incidents that took place at the end of the year, and now I feel the pressure.
All is good though, as it seems I can do OK in this business, and I will re-double my marketing efforts for the new year. Many of them are very simple, but they seem to work.
This year I will start of giving everyone a free tip. They often ask me how to protect their privacy on Facebook. That is really easy - don't put anything private on Facebook! (Seriously, if you don't get this, maybe you just need to delete your Facebook account)
