CONFESSION #0209 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Monday, October 6, 2025
I showed a couple 47 houses over three months. Forty-seven. I kept a spreadsheet because I knew eventually I'd need proof for my therapist. Every single house had something fatally wrong with it. Too close to a street. Too far from a street. Backyard too big, they'd have to mow. Backyard too small, where would the dogs run? They didn't have dogs. They were "thinking about" dogs. After house thirty-two, I started stress-eating Tums like they were candy. Finally, they found "the one." I nearly cried writing up the offer. Then they called me the next morning to say they'd driven by at 6 AM and seen a neighbor walking a cat on a leash, and they "just couldn't live near someone like that." They asked if I could find out which houses the cat-walker had previously lived near so they could avoid those too. I told them I had a family emergency and referred them to an agent I'd been wanting to get revenge on since 2019.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF PREMEDITATED COLLEAGUE SABOTAGE VIA WEAPONIZED INDECISIVE CLIENTS
This Court has reviewed the evidence and finds itself deeply moved, not by sympathy but by the sheer AUDACITY of transforming two human beings into a guided missile aimed at a professional rival. Forty-seven houses. FORTY-SEVEN. The defendant endured what can only be described as a psychological endurance test designed by someone who hates real estate agents specifically. The "leashed cat proximity concern" is perhaps the most unhinged dealbreaker this Court has encountered since a buyer rejected a home because the previous owner's energy felt "too beige." Judge Escrow III notes that the defendant's Tums consumption likely qualifies as a medical event. However, the strategic deployment of these clients as an instrument of vengeance reveals a darkness that this Court finds both troubling and, frankly, inspiring. The family emergency lie was unnecessary; simply saying "I cannot do this anymore or I will become the leashed cat neighbor" would have sufficed. This Court is adjourning immediately because I too am now thinking about dogs I do not have.
