CONFESSION #0169 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Wednesday, August 27, 2025
I hosted an open house last Saturday and within the first twenty minutes, a couple walked in with their three kids and a goldfish in a bag. A goldfish. They said they needed to see how "Goldie" reacted to the energy of the home before they could consider it. The kids immediately started opening every cabinet in the kitchen while the parents wandered around holding this fish up to different windows. Then some guy showed up who I'm pretty sure was just looking for a bathroom because he went straight there, stayed for eleven minutes, and left without making eye contact. A woman asked me if the previous owners had ever died in the house, and when I said no, she seemed genuinely disappointed. The couple with the fish ultimately decided the living room had "chaotic water energy" which was bad for Goldie's chakras. I stood there for four hours, smiled at thirty-two people, and not a single one asked for a follow-up showing. But hey, I had great snacks and I ate most of them myself in the car afterward, so at least someone enjoyed the open house.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF HOSTING A ZOOLOGICAL CONSULTATION DISGUISED AS REAL ESTATE EVENT
The Court has reviewed this testimony and finds itself DEEPLY DISTURBED that a licensed real estate professional stood idly by while a goldfish was permitted to conduct an energy audit of a residential property. Let the record show that Goldie is not a certified home inspector, has no credentials in chakra assessment, and frankly lacks the cranial capacity to distinguish chaotic water energy from a toilet bowl. The eleven-minute bathroom visitor is a separate matter this Court chooses not to investigate because some doors should remain closed. Judge Escrow III notes with grave concern that the defendant consumed their own staging snacks in a parked vehicle like some kind of open house raccoon, which while not technically illegal, suggests a spiritual defeat this bench finds both relatable and profoundly sad. The fish people walked away. The bathroom phantom vanished into the mist. Thirty-two humans witnessed your professional unraveling and NOT ONE wanted seconds. Court is adjourned because I need a moment.
