CONFESSION #0227 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Friday, October 24, 2025
I hosted an open house last weekend and within the first twenty minutes, a guy walked in, said nothing to me, went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and started eating the sellers' leftover Chinese food. Just standing there with chopsticks he found in a drawer, going to town on someone else's lo mein. When I asked if he had any questions about the property, he said "Yeah, do they know their kung pao is expired?" and kept eating. Then he left without signing in. Later that afternoon, a couple brought their three kids who immediately started a game that involved sliding down the carpeted stairs on their stomachs while the parents asked me increasingly specific questions about the neighbor's divorce. I know nothing about the neighbor's divorce. An hour before close, someone used the bathroom and I'm pretty sure broke the toilet because I heard a concerning sound followed by a door slam and a car peeling out of the driveway. The sellers texted me that night asking how it went and I just wrote "Great energy, lots of interest!" I need a different career.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL OPTIMISM IN THE FACE OF DOMESTIC CHAOS
This Court has presided over many horrors but NEVER have we witnessed such brazen refrigerator trespass combined with chopstick theft and expired kung pao commentary. The defendant stood there, a licensed professional, while a stranger conducted a COMPETITIVE EATING SESSION in someone else's kitchen, and their response was apparently to inquire about property questions as if this were normal human behavior. Then children were permitted to use the staircase as a water slide WITHOUT WATER while their parents conducted unauthorized surveillance into a neighbor's DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS. Judge Escrow must pause here because his monocle has fogged with rage. And yet the defendant, when asked for a simple status report, chose to type "Great energy, lots of interest!" as if the toilet hadn't been DESTROYED by a hit-and-run defecator. This Court finds "Great energy, lots of interest" to be the most unhinged lie told in residential real estate since "cozy." The defendant is hereby sentenced to actually mean it the next time they say "charming fixer-upper." This Court needs air.
