CONFESSION #0340 — OTHER
Saturday, February 14, 2026
I spent an entire Saturday driving a couple around to seven different houses, skipping my kid's soccer game, only to have them casually mention at the end of the day that they're "probably not buying for another two years" and just wanted to "get a feel for the market." Two years. They knew this the whole time. When I asked why they didn't mention it earlier, the wife said, "Well, we might find something we absolutely love and change our minds." You won't. You didn't love any of them. You complained about the kitchen in every single house even though they all had completely different kitchens. I smiled and said I'd be happy to keep them updated on listings, then went home and ate an entire sleeve of Oreos in my car before going inside. My husband asked how the showings went and I just stared at him for about ten seconds before saying "great." I'm now getting texts from them asking about open houses next weekend. I have started responding on a 24-hour delay.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF PREMEDITATED MARKET TOURISM WITH INTENT TO WASTE PRECIOUS SATURDAY
This Court has seen many horrors in its time on the bench, but the audacity of these kitchen-criticizing phantoms who KNEW they were two years out and said NOTHING borders on criminal emotional battery. The confession reveals a victim who sacrificed her child's athletic development for people who were essentially using her as a free Uber with commentary. Judge Escrow finds the sleeve-of-Oreos-in-car detail particularly damning evidence of the psychological toll inflicted, and frankly, this Court has been there, though it was Fig Newtons and a parking garage after a particularly difficult zoning dispute. The 24-hour text delay is not only appropriate but MERCIFUL; this Court would have recommended 72 hours minimum with occasional read receipts to establish dominance. These people will never buy a house because the perfect kitchen does not exist, and deep down, they know this, which is why they drag innocent professionals into their existential real estate theater. This Court must adjourn immediately as it is experiencing sympathy rage.
