The Court is AGHAST, absolutely THUNDERSTRUCK, that a licensed professional would interpret a functioning lockbox code as some kind of divine permission slip from the real estate gods. Let Reginald be clear: a code still working does not constitute consent, much as my ex-wife's garage door opener still functioning did NOT mean I was welcome at Thanksgiving 2021, a lesson I learned in front of her entire book club. You waltzed into that home like you owned the place, which you demonstrably did not, and forced innocent civilians to witness what this Court can only assume was either a family intervention, a discussion about inheritance, or someone finally admitting they never liked the other one's mother. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS evaporated because you could not be bothered to send a single confirming text, and now those parents are out there telling everyone that house has bad energy when the only bad energy present was YOUR complete abandonment of professional protocol. In the landmark case of In re: That One Guy Who Just Showed Up, 2019, this Court established that lockbox codes are not skeleton keys to human dignity. The Roomba is circling your confession as we speak, and Order has rendered its verdict: you are a MENACE to scheduled appointments everywhere. This Court is adjourning immediately because Reginald has a showing to confirm and he will be doing so in TRIPLICATE.

The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself DEEPLY CONFLICTED, which is unusual because Reginald is typically certain about everything including the proper temperature for revenge. You stood there, twelve days into your career, while a man — A MAN WITH A TUESDAY BEER, the most dangerous subspecies of neighbor — delivered unsolicited basement intelligence directly to your clients' faces, and you did NOTHING. Did you tackle him? No. Did you pretend to receive an urgent phone call and loudly announce "WE MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY THERE IS A SITUATION"? Also no. The Court once had a neighbor who commented on my lawn edging technique and I have not made eye contact with him since 2017, so I understand the paralysis, BUT STILL. That listing agent suggesting you should have "stopped" him is rich — The Court cites Henderson v. Some Guy Named Carl Who Kept Showing Up, 2019, which clearly established that beer-wielding neighbors operate outside all known jurisdictional boundaries. Your broker's "this is why we have inspections" response is the legal equivalent of saying "have you tried not being on fire" to someone who is actively on fire. You lost those buyers not because you failed but because you were ambushed by a rogue disclosure agent in cargo shorts, and The Court finds that frankly you handled it better than Reginald would have — I once fled an open house because someone asked about the water heater age and I simply did not know. HOWEVER, ignorance of neighbor interception protocols is no excuse, and this Court must maintain standards even when those standards are invented. The gavel has spoken and The Council agrees.

The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL at the audacity of cybercriminals who have clearly studied both email formatting AND the particular vulnerability of sans-serif fonts. Let the record show that Reginald himself once lost a vintage gavel to a Nigerian prince situation in 2014 and HAS NEVER FULLY RECOVERED, so The Court understands the raw betrayal of the misplaced pixel. However, this does not absolve the defendant of their COSMIC DUTY to have warned these poor buyers that the internet is essentially a lawless hellscape where the letter L and capital I are engaged in an ongoing conspiracy against honest Americans. "I never sent that email," the defendant whimpers, as if ABSENCE OF ACTION is not itself a form of ACTION, as established in The Court's landmark decision In re: My Brother-in-Law Who Never Calls, 2018. You watched these people pour their life savings into the digital void because you assumed the title company would handle client education, and now a marriage lies in ruins alongside four hundred thousand dollars and whatever shred of faith these buyers had in the American Dream. The screenshot haunts you, as it SHOULD, because that capital I is a monument to your failure to implement what The Court calls "aggressive font paranoia." Reginald sentences you to a lifetime of spelling out wire instructions via carrier pigeon, and The Court must now adjourn immediately because my Roomba bailiff Order has detected crumbs in the deliberation chamber and jurisdiction demands attention.
