CONFESSION #0308 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Tuesday, January 13, 2026
I showed a couple the same house four times. Four. Each time they brought a different family member to "get their opinion." First it was the wife's mother, who said the kitchen was too small. Then the husband's brother, who thought the backyard was "suspiciously flat." Then their college-aged daughter, who complained there was no bidet. Finally, they brought their pastor to "pray over the space and see if it felt right." After all that, they decided to pass because Mercury was in retrograde and it "wasn't the right time to make major decisions." They asked if I could call them when Mercury moved. I said sure. I will not be calling them. I looked it up and Mercury goes retrograde like three times a year and apparently that's when they make zero decisions. I'm a real estate agent, not an astrologer. My commission doesn't care about planetary alignment. Neither does the seller's mortgage payment.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CELESTIAL ABANDONMENT AND PREMEDITATED ASTROLOGICAL DESERTION
This court has witnessed many professional collapses, but FOUR SHOWINGS culminating in a pastoral laying-of-hands upon what I can only assume was a perfectly adequate split-level ranch represents a new frontier in human indecision. The defendant endured a mother-in-law's kitchen critique, a brother's SUSPICION OF FLATNESS in a backyard (what did he want, a ravine?), a college student demanding European bathroom fixtures, and finally a man of the cloth performing what amounts to a real estate exorcism. And yet when these cosmic cowards retreated behind Mercury's orbital patterns, the defendant simply nodded and made a promise they never intended to keep. Judge Escrow III understands: you cannot serve both Zillow and the zodiac. The defendant is hereby ordered to block this family's number, sage their own office, and move forward knowing that some buyers are simply not buyers at all but rather a traveling committee of doubt. This court is adjourned because I need to lie down on my suspiciously flat floor.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.7/10 Retrograde Rage Quit
