In the Waiting Line
June 27th, 2005
The process of getting a mortgage blows. I wish I was warned of this. I had no idea how much information we’d be forced to hand over to this grumpy old cadger- I mean, mortgage broker. I feel violated and strangely exposed. Christ, the man could walk off with our entire identity and life savings.
The Cadger is a friend of the father in law, and has apparently been doing mortgages for about five hundred years. After I handed over the last pile of my personal information that included the date I lost my virginity and my first bank account, I idly wondered if mortgage brokers were forced to undergo stringent criminal background checks to ensure that they didn’t run off to the Bali Hai with our life savings.
I think when he told me yes, he was just humoring me.

“I think when he told me yes, he was just humoring me.”
Yabbut the key question here is whether background checks were required 500 years ago.
“The date I lost my virginity and my first bank account”
ROTFL! Now there’s an absorbing 24-hour storyline. Which one went missing first? ]:>
