CONFESSION #0196 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Tuesday, September 23, 2025
I spent an entire Saturday driving a buyer to eight different properties. Eight. At the end of the day, she told me she wasn't actually looking to buy for another two years, she just wanted to "get a feel for the market." I nearly left her at the last house. But it gets better. She's been calling me weekly ever since with "quick questions" about neighborhoods, mortgage rates, and whether I think prices will drop. That was fourteen months ago. She still hasn't pulled the trigger, but she did ask if I could show her a few places "just to compare" to what she saw last year. I ran the numbers. I've spent approximately forty hours with this woman. Exposed my car to roughly six hundred miles of wear. Bought her coffee four times because she always "forgot her wallet." My commission so far? Zero dollars and zero cents. But she did leave me a nice Google review saying I was "very patient." I printed it out and stuck it on my fridge as a reminder to screen my clients better.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CHRONIC PATIENCE DISORDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE
This Court has witnessed many forms of professional suffering but FORTY HOURS of unpaid labor while this woman conducted what can only be described as a fourteen-month real estate safari is UNCONSCIONABLE. The defendant drove six hundred miles serving as an unpaid Uber driver, amateur economist, and apparently a mobile coffee ATM for someone who forgot her wallet with suspicious consistency. Judge Escrow III notes that the so-called "nice Google review" is not legal tender and cannot be used to purchase gasoline, therapy, or the dignity this agent has clearly surrendered. The fact that she printed this review and affixed it to her refrigerator suggests Stockholm Syndrome has already taken hold. This Court orders immediate cessation of all contact and recommends the agent send this woman a bill for services rendered, itemized to include emotional damages and the four coffees which were CLEARLY a scam. The audacity of asking to see properties "just to compare" after fourteen months has given this Court a migraine and I must adjourn immediately.
