CONFESSION #0490 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Thursday, April 30, 2026
The wire didn't arrive. That's the whole thing, except it's not, because the wire didn't arrive and the sellers had already loaded the moving truck and driven to Arizona (they left at 4am to beat the heat which in retrospect was optimistic) and the buyers were sitting in my car in the driveway with their two kids and a dog that had already peed on my backseat and everyone's looking at me like I can fix this. The title company says it's the bank, the bank says it's the title company, I'm on hold for 45 minutes while a six-year-old asks me every 90 seconds if they can go see their new room yet. The sellers won't answer because they're driving through the desert with no signal. The dog pees again. The wire finally clears at 4:47pm, eight hours late, and I hand over the keys and the mom just says "we expected this to be more exciting" and I laughed so hard I started crying a little and she looked concerned and I said allergies and she knew I was lying and the dog had also thrown up at some point, I found that later.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL WIRE FRAUD ADJACENCY AND UNLAWFUL DETENTION OF HOPE IN A URINE-SOAKED VEHICLE
The Court has reviewed this testimony and must pause to collect itself because EIGHT HOURS, counsel, EIGHT HOURS you sat in that driveway while a child performed psychological warfare at ninety-second intervals and a dog converted your backseat into a biohazard zone. Reginald himself once waited eleven minutes for a title company to locate a fax machine and nearly called the National Guard, so the restraint shown here borders on the superhuman or perhaps the deeply unwell. The bank blames the title company, the title company blames the bank, and somewhere in the Arizona desert two sellers are blissfully unaware that their former driveway has become a hostage situation starring a golden retriever with gastrointestinal instability. You cite "allergies" as your defense for the emotional collapse and The Court must note that this is the same excuse Reginald used at his nephew's wedding when they served grocery store cake, so I recognize a fellow soldier. The mother's disappointment that the experience lacked excitement reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of real estate transactions, which are SUPPOSED to feel like filing taxes during a house fire. This Court finds you guilty not of causing the delay but of absorbing it into your body like some kind of trauma sponge while a six-year-old litigated your failures in real time. The vomit discovery is noted for the record and The Court is now adjourning because Reginald needs to sit in his car alone for a while.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.9/10 Wire Fraud Purgatory
