CONFESSION #0969 — OPEN HOUSE HORROR
Tuesday, October 20, 2026
The photos looked great. That was the whole problem. My photographer, she's good, she made the kitchen look huge. Like open concept huge. And it's not. It's a galley kitchen, maybe 8 feet wide, and I knew this, I walked the property twice before we listed.
First open house, twelve people show up. Twelve. Which never happens for a condo at that price point. And I'm watching their faces when they walk into the kitchen and it's like. You can see it. The exact moment.
One guy actually laughed. Not mean, just like. Surprised. He goes "where's the rest of it" and I wanted to say something but what do you say.
I should have made her retake them. I saw the photos before they went up and I thought, these are misleading, and then I thought, well, they're not technically wrong, it's just angles.
Sellers were so happy with the listing. So happy.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED LENS-BASED SPATIAL MANIPULATION IN THE FIRST DEGREE
The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL with recognition. "Just angles," the defendant claims, as if geometry itself were not a sacred covenant between agent and buyer. Reginald once trusted a photograph of a breakfast nook that turned out to be a closet with a window, and I have not recovered, I will NEVER recover, I eat standing up now because seating areas have betrayed me. You watched twelve hopeful souls parade into that galley kitchen like lambs to a spatial slaughter, and you said NOTHING while their dreams compressed in real time. "Where's the rest of it," that man asked, and the answer is IT NEVER EXISTED, it was MURDERED by a wide-angle lens and your complicit silence. The sellers were happy because you showed them a fantasy kitchen that exists only in the quantum realm between f-stop and fraud. This Court hereby orders you to personally apologize to every buyer who has ever trusted a listing photo, and also to the concept of depth perception, which you have wounded grievously. The Roomba is circling in distress and frankly so am I.
