oh yeah. i’d love a thing i get to be a little bit annoying about. would love to be a “you know i’m a notary!” type mf
as someone who is a notary, it is honestly more annoying when people find out you are a notary, because then they want you to notarize shit for them. I try to keep it a secret but my parents are the blabbermouths and now my neighbors know who to bother.
having known people who have become a notary: yes, it is sorta neat, and right up your alley
I'm a notary and it's alright. worst part is I live in Texas and do the notary stuff as a part of my job so I get way too many people coming in around the start of every school year to notarize "immunization exemption for reason of personal belief" forms. it has a list of the required vaccines and parents can just check off whichever ones they don't want their kid to receive, including up to all of them (including POLIO?! like jfc when your kid gets polio and is disabled for life or dies I hope you know that it was your fault)
one time had a parent doing that, exempting their child from all vaccinations available, and she had her kid with her, this little 5-year-old boy, and he was just coughing all over the damn place and saying "mommy, I'm sick" like if that isnt just poetically awful i dont know what is.
Ofc that might not even be an option for anti-vaxxers in your state, that's just Texas, and the best part about becoming a notary on your own terms is that you can just say "Nah." to literally any notarization for any reason.
I read a few page of a book that described notary as "an inoffensive type of lawyers", and I have been thinking about that ever since.
