CONFESSION #0192 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Friday, September 19, 2025
I spent three months showing a couple every single house in their price range. Every. Single. One. We're talking forty-plus properties, countless weekends, driving them around in my car while they critiqued my music choices. They finally found "the one" and I worked my tail off to get their offer accepted in a multiple-bid situation. Celebrated with champagne. Started mentally spending my commission. Then they ghosted me for two weeks. When they finally resurfaced, they casually mentioned they'd decided to "take a break from house hunting" because Mercury was in retrograde and their astrologer advised against major purchases. But don't worry—they'd "definitely reach out when the stars align." That was eight months ago. Last week I saw them posting photos of their new house on social media. They used the buyer's agent whose sign was in the yard of a house I showed them. The house next door to the one I got them under contract on. I'm not saying I zoomed in on every photo looking for foundation cracks, but I'm not not saying that either.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF COSMIC BETRAYAL AND ASTROLOGICAL ABANDONMENT IN THE FIRST DEGREE
This Court has witnessed many betrayals in its distinguished tenure, but using MERCURY RETROGRADE as an excuse to ghost a dedicated professional represents a new frontier of celestial cowardice. Let the record reflect that these buyers consumed forty-plus properties worth of this agent's gasoline, patience, and apparently objectionable playlist selections, only to blame their commitment issues on a planet that is not even technically moving backwards. The audacity of posting that new house on social media while Mercury presumably sorted itself out suggests the only thing in retrograde was their basic human decency. Judge Escrow himself once consulted an astrologer who told him to avoid major decisions during Scorpio season, and he STILL showed up to court every day because JUSTICE DOES NOT CHECK ITS HOROSCOPE. The Court finds it entirely reasonable that confessant has examined those foundation photos with forensic intensity, and we hereby grant them spiritual permission to continue doing so indefinitely. This Court must adjourn immediately as we feel a migraine forming in our third eye.
SCANDAL RATING: 7.8/10 Stars Aligned Against Decency
