CONFESSION #0313 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Sunday, January 18, 2026
I've been showing this couple houses for five months now. Five months. We've toured forty-three properties together. I keep a spreadsheet because my therapist said it would help me "process my frustration in healthy ways." Last week, I found them THE house. Perfect layout, under budget, great school district, exactly the backyard they wanted. The wife loved it. The husband loved it. Their kid loved it. Their dog loved it. I could taste the commission. Then they asked if they could "sleep on it for a few days." I said sure, of course, totally normal. They called me six days later to say they'd decided to renew their apartment lease for another year because they "weren't sure they were ready for the commitment of homeownership." I asked, as calmly as humanly possible, why they hadn't mentioned this uncertainty during the FORTY-THREE HOUSES I showed them. The wife said, and I quote, "We just really enjoy looking at houses with you. It's like our weekend activity." I am not a hobby. I am not a podcast. I have children to feed.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF TREATING A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL AS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY
This court has seen many affronts to human dignity but using a real estate agent as a WEEKEND ACTIVITY ranks among the most creatively cruel. The confession clearly establishes that these individuals viewed forty-three properties with the same intention one might have when visiting a petting zoo: mild entertainment with zero commitment to taking anything home. Judge Escrow himself once showed a property to a man who asked if he could "just smell the basement one more time" and that man at least had the decency to be clinically unwell. These people are HOBBYISTS OF HUMAN MISERY and they should be sentenced to attend every open house in a fifty-mile radius while being followed by someone who keeps asking if they're "really serious this time." The confession reveals a spreadsheet exists and this court would very much like to see it entered into evidence for purposes Judge Escrow chooses not to disclose. I am awarding the agent emotional damages in the amount of one long scream into a pillow. This court is in recess because I need to lie down.
