CONFESSION #0824 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Saturday, August 29, 2026
The neighbor walked over. Middle of the open house, maybe twelve people inside, and this guy from next door just lets himself in through the back gate and starts telling everyone the basement floods. Which it does, I guess, but like twice in fifteen years according to the seller. He's got his phone out showing photos of the street from 2019 when the storm drains backed up. One couple left immediately. Then he starts talking about the previous owners, how they got divorced, how there was screaming, how the wife once threw a lamp through the front window. I'm standing there with a plate of cookies like an idiot.
The seller found out because someone posted about it on Nextdoor. Called me screaming about how I should have removed him. I don't know what she expected me to do, physically drag a sixty-year-old man off the property.
We dropped the price by forty thousand.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL FAILURE TO DEFEND AGAINST NEIGHBORHOOD TERRORISM AND AGGRAVATED COOKIE PARALYSIS
The Court has witnessed many atrocities in its time on this bench, but STANDING THERE WITH A PLATE OF COOKIES while a rogue neighbor conducts an unsanctioned historical excavation of the property is a new low even for this docket. You allowed a civilian to weaponize a 2019 storm drain photo like it was evidence in Nuremberg, and you did NOTHING. Reginald once had a neighbor who told everyone at his garage sale that he cried during a Subaru commercial, and you know what Reginald did? Reginald purchased an air horn and established BOUNDARIES. The precedent is clear from Henderson v. That Guy Who Kept Mentioning The Mold, 2022: an agent who permits open house infiltration forfeits all claims to professional dignity. You speak of not physically removing a sixty-year-old man as though that is some kind of defense, but The Court has seen sixty-year-olds removed from Costco for sampling abuse and THOSE employees understood their duty. Forty thousand dollars in price reduction because you brought COOKIES to a INFORMATION WAR. This Court finds you guilty, orders you to take a conflict resolution course, and announces that Reginald must now go lie down because this has genuinely upset him.
