CONFESSION #0056 — OTHER
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
I've started keeping a "ridiculous client requests" note in my phone because my therapist said I need to "process my frustrations in healthy ways." Latest entry: buyer asked me to find out if the neighbors were "the type to have loud parties" and wanted me to personally observe the street on a Friday and Saturday night before making an offer. I actually considered doing it for about thirty seconds before I remembered I have two kids and haven't seen 10 PM since 2019. The same buyer also wanted to know the "vibe" of the mail carrier and whether the garbage trucks came "too early." I told her I'd look into it and then just made up something reassuring because what am I supposed to do, interview the sanitation department? She closed on the house last month and has already texted me twice complaining that the neighbors have a dog that barks sometimes. I responded with a thumbs up emoji and muted the conversation. My therapist says I'm making progress.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF FABRICATING MUNICIPAL INTELLIGENCE AND DEPLOYING TACTICAL EMOJI WARFARE
This Court has witnessed many sins against the sacred covenant between agent and client, but the audacity of INVENTING sanitation department reconnaissance is a new frontier of creative deception. The defendant was asked to profile a mail carrier's "vibe" and instead of explaining that this is NOT A THING AGENTS DO, they simply conjured fictional reassurances from the void like some sort of suburban oracle. This Court notes with deep concern that the agent "considered" conducting Friday night surveillance for approximately thirty seconds, which is twenty-nine seconds too long for any person with functioning judgment. The thumbs up emoji response to legitimate barking dog complaints is what we in the legal profession call "emotional abandonment with plausible deniability." Judge Escrow himself once muted a conversation with his own mother for three years over a casserole dispute, so the Court understands the impulse, but UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ABSOLUTION. Your therapist may say you are making progress but this Court says you are making problems for future you when this buyer discovers that garbage trucks arrive at 5:47 AM and the mail carrier has what can only be described as "chaotic neutral energy."
SCANDAL RATING: 6.4/10 Fabricated Neighborhood Folklore
