client come out.. sits down across from me.. opens up his file folder.. has maybe a few w-2s, some 1099 INT's, maybe a 1099 DIV, contributions,. mortage interest form.. typical family return.

he proceeds to identify one document at a time, in real slow speech.. like

This is my W-2 from ABC Company. then starts to describe the W-2 and looks it over for about 10 seconds. then finally slides it over to me.. then

This is my W-2 from XYZ Company. he examines it.. slides it over to me, then he goes...

This is my interest income from the Acme Bank..ponders over it and slides it over to me

I could not take anymore. it was messing my system I have to keep things moving.. 

Finally I said, real nicely of course.. umm. Do you think I can see the whole folder and I can sort it out.. he says. oh sure.
