Match the client or landlord’s statement with the social worker’s inappropriate response:
<\/strong>
1. “Um.. I’m calling because I got a letter from you that says my share of the rent is $16.00 and I don’t think that’s right because my income hasn’t changed… I mean I never worked so how come I got to pay $16.00 a month if I’ve always been on welfare?”<\/p>\n

2. “Are you my new case manager? I don’t think that’s right because Miss Linda never notified me she was going out on maternity leave to have a baby and why didn’t she take care of my business first? She could have notified me I was gonna have to deal with you now. Can I talk to someone else instead?”<\/p>\n

3. “Yes ma’am. I’m calling to find out why I haven’t received payment for the month of January yet?”<\/p>\n

4. “I just want it on record with you that my toilet is overflowing.”<\/p>\n

5. “My landlord is just mad because I painted the living room without asking her first.”<\/p>\n

6. “I wanna know how come you approved me to live in this dump?!”<\/p>\n

7. “The sheriff was just here and left a foreclosure notice on the fence. Does this mean I don’t have to pay my rent this month?”<\/p>\n

A. “Right, well… this is the government you’re dealing with!”<\/p>\n

B. “Am I hearing you right? I must not be because it sounds like you’re complaining. And did you also notice that I payed the outstanding balance on your electric bill?”<\/p>\n

C. “Maybe the real issue is that you haven’t paid your rent in 11 months! And will you please just stop talking for a second?!”<\/p>\n

D. “Pay your darn rent!”<\/p>\n

E. “Thanks for the update. Maybe you should call your landlord?”<\/p>\n

F. “If I remember correctly, you begged me to.”<\/p>\n

G. “Hold on while I find someone else.”<\/p>\n

Any resemblance to real or actual phone calls today from clients of mine is sad, but true.
