CONFESSION #0036 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Wednesday, April 16, 2025
I've been working with a couple for five months who have rejected every single house for reasons I couldn't make up if I tried. Too many windows. Not enough windows. The neighbor's car was "suspicious looking." The street name reminded them of an ex. Last week I found them THE perfect house. Met every single criterion on their ever-evolving 47-point checklist. Updated kitchen, big yard, right school district, even had the specific shade of gray exterior they'd been obsessing over. They walked through it twice, loved everything, talked about where their furniture would go. Then the wife noticed the house number added up to 13 and they walked out without another word. I sat in my car for ten minutes just staring at the steering wheel. They texted me that night asking if I had any new listings to show them this weekend. I'm beginning to think they just enjoy spending time with me and have no intention of ever actually purchasing property.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE TO NUMEROLOGICAL TERRORISTS
This Court has witnessed many forms of buyer abuse but FIVE MONTHS of architectural hostage-taking crosses into territory that haunts Judge Escrow in his sleep. The defendants have constructed an elaborate psychological maze in which you are both the rat AND the cheese, forced to locate properties while they hunt for reasons to reject them with the desperation of someone trying to find Waldo in a book that contains no Waldo. A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING NEIGHBOR'S CAR? A street name reminiscent of an ex? These people are not house hunting, they are conducting some kind of twisted couples therapy in which YOUR emotional destruction is the binding agent of their marriage. The house number adding to thirteen is not a red flag about the property it is a CONFESSION that they have been toying with you like a cat toys with a moth it has no intention of eating. This Court orders you to send them listings exclusively in buildings numbered 1300 through 1399 until they either purchase something or their relationship implodes from the weight of their own nonsense. I need air.
