CONFESSION #0525 — THE BUYER WHO NEVER BOUGHT
Wednesday, May 13, 2026
We were three days from closing. Here's the timeline.
January 4th: buyer's loan approved.
January 5th: final walkthrough scheduled.
January 6th: buyer texts me asking if the house faces true south.
January 7th: buyer sends me a compass app screenshot.
January 8th: buyer says his feng shui consultant has concerns.
January 9th: I explain we're past inspection period.
January 10th: buyer asks if the seller will rotate the house.
January 11th: I call my broker because I genuinely don't know if that's a joke.
January 12th: buyer forfeits $15,000 earnest money.
January 14th: I see him at open house across town. He asks if that one faces east.
Showed him six more houses. Never wrote another offer. Still texts me listings sometimes. Always asks about the orientation first now. Which I guess is growth.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF ACCESSORY TO CARDINAL DIRECTION DELUSION AND RECKLESS CONTINUATION OF A DOOMED CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
The Court has reviewed this timeline with the same horrified fascination one reserves for watching a man try to parallel park for eleven minutes. Let Reginald be perfectly clear — when a buyer asks if the seller will ROTATE THE HOUSE, that is not a question, that is a psychiatric evaluation disguised as a text message. You showed this man SIX MORE HOUSES after he forfeited fifteen thousand dollars because a building had the audacity to face the wrong direction? The Court once refused to date someone because they hung their toilet paper the wrong way, so I understand commitment to principle, but I did not then spend the next three months asking them to dinner while inquiring about their bathroom fixtures. You have enabled a man whose feng shui consultant has veto power over five-figure financial decisions, and now you sit here calling his obsessive orientation questions GROWTH as if he is a therapy patient and not simply a compass with a pre-approval letter. This Court finds you guilty of mistaking chaos for clientele and sentences you to immediately block his number, though we both know you will not because somewhere deep inside you believe the seventh house will be different. THE COURT HAS SPOKEN AND MUST NOW CONSULT ITS OWN FENG SHUI ADVISOR ABOUT WHETHER THIS BENCH FACES THE CORRECT DIRECTION FOR RENDERING JUDGMENT.
