Workplace requests can sometimes test your patience.

In this story, an employee handled a records request but kept receiving repeated demands from the same attorney.

Despite already sending the documents multiple times, the attorney claimed it was a third request.

Frustrated, he decided to respond in a very persistent way.

Let’s take a closer look!

Nasty FAX form a lawyer

Part of my job is to answer FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) or APRA (Access to Public Records) requests and medical billing reports.

An attorney in a neighboring state requested medical records for their client.

We treated the client. The records were provided the same day.

This man sends the requested records immediately to clients.

I pride myself on getting any invoices paid the same day or the next business day when I receive them.

The same goes for APRA requests and similar tasks.

Two weeks went by. I got a secondary request from the same attorney.

So, I faxed the records a second time. I also mailed them out.

He got another fax, saying it was their 3rd request for the same records.

Today, I got a fax with a request for the same records.

The fax cover sheet said:

“THIS IS THE THIRD REQUEST FOR THESE RECORDS.”

Okay, now I am furious.

He decided to fax all 49 pages to the client multiple times.

So I dug out the reports that were sent.

I compiled all three bundles. I ran them through the scanner to get a page count.

It was 49 pages. Perfect.

I have now faxed that bundle out to them four times today. I will continue to do so until it is time for me to go home for the day.

This person makes a valid assumption.

Lol. Here’s another petty revenge idea…

Finally, here’s a similar experience.

If one fax isn’t enough, maybe twenty will do the trick.
