CONFESSION #0304 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Friday, January 9, 2026
Last Sunday I hosted an open house and a woman walked in, took off her shoes, and then proceeded to open my sellers' refrigerator and start eating their leftover pasta salad. Just standing there with a fork she found in the drawer, helping herself. When I politely said the food wasn't part of the staging, she looked at me like I was the crazy one and said she was "testing the kitchen energy." She then asked if the sellers would be willing to leave their spice rack because she liked the organization system. I spent the next hour following her around while she opened every cabinet, laid down on the primary bed to "check the ceiling view," and asked if the neighbors were "the loud type or the weird type." She signed the guest sheet as "Future Owner Maybe" with no phone number. I still think about her when I'm restocking the cookie table and someone takes six.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL FAILURE TO EJECT A FERAL PROPERTY TRESPASSER
This Court has witnessed many failures of professional backbone but THIS confession represents a complete abdication of territorial authority that frankly makes Judge Escrow need to sit down. You FOLLOWED HER AROUND FOR AN HOUR. She was horizontal on the primary bed examining ceilings like some kind of deranged astronomer and you what, offered her a pillow? The woman signed the guest book as "Future Owner Maybe" which is legally the signature of a chaos demon and you let her LEAVE with that information rather than calling whatever authorities handle kitchen energy violations. The pasta salad was merely the appetizer to your humiliation. This Court notes that you now monitor cookie consumption at open houses like a traumatized woodland creature, which is the only appropriate response to what you allowed to transpire. Judge Escrow rules that you must hang a sign at all future open houses reading "REFRIGERATOR CONTENTS ARE NOT COMMUNAL" and frankly the fact that such signage is necessary in your jurisdiction disturbs this Court to its core.
