CONFESSION #0676 — NEIGHBOR SABOTAGE
Wednesday, July 8, 2026
Her daughter started asking questions. That's how it came out. The daughter's maybe 12, and she goes mom why is there a for sale sign in the Hendersons' yard, and my seller just freezes because there's no sign in the Hendersons' yard. There's a sign in HER yard. Which I put in the wrong yard. I was rushing, it was getting dark, both houses are that same beige colonial thing, and I stuck the sign in the neighbor's lawn. Left it there for three days. The neighbor called the listing number thinking someone was trying to pull something, like some kind of scam or intimidation tactic, and honestly I get it. If a sign appeared in my yard I'd be paranoid too. My seller thought it was hilarious but the neighbor filed a complaint with my broker. Over a sign. That I moved within an hour of finding out. The daughter still waves at me weird when I drive by.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF NEGLIGENT LAWN INVASION AND RECKLESS SIGNAGE DEPLOYMENT IN THE SECOND DEGREE
The Court has seen some brazen acts in its time, but THIS — THIS is what happens when agents treat twilight like it is somehow an acceptable hour for professional activity. Reginald himself once mistook his own driveway for a neighbor's at dusk, and while that resulted in a regrettable confrontation involving a garden hose, at least no REAL ESTATE SIGNAGE was involved. You claim both houses are that same beige colonial thing as if this EXCUSES your behavior, but The Court has strong feelings about beige colonials and those feelings are that they are a MENACE TO SPATIAL ORIENTATION and frankly to good taste itself. The neighbor was RIGHT to be paranoid — today it is a sign, tomorrow it is an unsolicited CMA slipped under the door, next week you are hosting an open house in their breakfast nook without permission. The daughter waves at you weird because CHILDREN SENSE CHAOS, and you have introduced chaos into that cul-de-sac that will linger like the memory of a failed flip. Three days that sign stood in hostile territory, a monument to your haste, and The Court finds it deeply troubling that you describe moving it within an hour of finding out as if this constitutes PROMPTNESS when the appropriate response time was THREE DAYS AGO. This Court hereby orders you to purchase the neighbor a small plant and to never again conduct real estate activities after 4:47 PM. Reginald must now consult with The Council.
SCANDAL RATING: 4.7/10 Dusk Depositor
