CONFESSION #0546 — SHOWING GONE WRONG
Wednesday, May 20, 2026
Closing was at 2pm. The final walkthrough was at noon, which should have been plenty of time except the sellers were supposed to be out by 10 and when we pulled up there was still a moving truck in the driveway and the husband was carrying a dresser down the front steps and my buyer just goes completely silent which is never good. We go inside and the kitchen is fine, living room is fine, then we get to the master bathroom and there's no toilet. Not like a broken toilet, not like a stained toilet, the toilet is gone, there's just a hole in the floor with a rag stuffed in it and the wife is standing there saying oh we're taking that it's a Toto and my buyer says it was in the listing photos and she says well it wasn't in the contract specifically and technically she was right (I checked, twice, in the car while pretending to make a phone call) but who takes a toilet. A $600 toilet. We delayed closing by three hours while the sellers went to Home Depot and the husband installed a basic American Standard still in his moving clothes and nobody spoke during the signing and my buyer has never referred another client to me which I guess I understand but also it wasn't my toilet.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE IN THE FIRST DEGREE FOR FAILURE TO SECURE PORCELAIN ASSETS AND PERMITTING PREMEDITATED COMMODE ABDUCTION
The Court is APOPLECTIC. Let Reginald be absolutely clear: a Toto toilet is not a family heirloom, it is not a beloved pet, it is a WASTE RECEPTACLE that was CLEARLY VISIBLE in the listing photos performing its sacred duty of existing where toilets exist. The sellers committed what this Court recognizes as Grand Theft Lavatory, a crime so brazen it would make even the most hardened bathroom fixture feel violated, and YOU, agent, sat in your vehicle playing phone pretend while a man in moving clothes was forced to install an American Standard like some kind of ANIMAL. This Court once refused to close on a property because the previous owner had taken a doorbell that played La Cucaracha, and I stand by that decision to this day because FIXTURES ARE FIXTURES. The fact that you checked the contract twice and found the toilet unmentioned does not absolve you, it INDICTS you, for what kind of agent allows a contract to exist without explicit toilet retention clauses in this economy. Your buyer's silence was the silence of a person watching their dream home become a crime scene, a silence this Court knows intimately from the time my own contractor removed a bidet I had grown rather attached to without so much as a courtesy text. The gavel falls, Order the Roomba is circling judgmentally, and Reginald must now go lie down.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.9/10 Commode Larceny Accomplice
