Man, I don't enjoy soccer but the eye candy sure is nice.
Have you ever noticed how there are always football players in the news for murder, beating of their wives or someone? Can you name a hockey player or baseball player doing this type thing? Do hockey players get it all out on the ice? Sure maybe 1 or 2 but there are always football players in the news.
Have you ever noticed how crazy female realtors are? Oh I have! You can read all the stories I have written here, like pulling up their skirts and open up their shirts!
They can't negotiate themselves out of a bag. I have yet to meet one who can.
They always have to tell me when they call our office that they are a realtor, they pause, like somehow that impresses me. Then they speak and you know they are certifiable and if not nuts, then just a bit simple.
I had a real nut job yesterday. As you know my husband fabricates countertops.
Solid surface countertops. Corian, Livingstone etc.
He does more commercial than residential but he does do some residential as well.
After this crazy call I googled the number. It was a realtor, I should have known!
This is how the call went down.
“How much will it cost me and how long to get a new countertop?”
I said, “well that depends, what kind of surface and where do...….
Before I could get
out more she said, “It doesn't matter just tell me how
much!”
I said, “Well it
would depend on what surface you choose as well as what edges etc….then as far
as time that too would depend on what you choose
and where..…."
“ JUST TELL ME 1 WEEK OR 2 WEEKS OR 3 WEEKS – JEEZ!” she was now yelling this at me.
“Ma’am it could take up to 3 weeks and it could range in price from XX a sq ft to XX a sq ft., it truly does vary on what you are choosing to do. Is this a kitchen? Bathroom? Can you tell me if.....
“Never mind you’re just being snarky I’ll call someone else”
Wow.
Typical realtor.
You all do realize that if you want Corian for a bathroom it would be less than a kitchen but both would be more than if you chose Livingstone instead of Corian or another vendor.
There are so many variables that I can't grasp how she doesn't get that.
And while on the subject of crazy customers. Had a woman call to tell us that her tub that was refinished 1 1/2+ years ago was no longer looking great. Now since this looks great for 18-20yrs this was a puzzler. So I sent Rick out there to view this when he was in that city. Wait for it......
She has never cleaned the tub during the last 1 year and 8 months with 4 people in the house using it. Not once.
She said to him as he scraped off soap film with his finger nail to show her what the issue was - you mean I have to wash it after this is done?
OH MY GOD. So Rick being nice asked, "remember the care and maintenance sheet I handed you and we went over together after the tub was finished? That told you what to clean it with and what not to use. Remember that discussion? What made you think you couldn't clean it?"
She just shrugged apparently. Then asked him, "Well will you clean this?"
He laughed and said for $XXX.00. She said, "Never mind I guess we'll clean it."
He then proceeded to show her what to do and what to use and gave her another care and maintenance sheet. He cleaned a small area and it was gorgeous and shiny and she said, "yes! that's how it supposed to look. I thought if I had this refinishing done that was all that was needed"
Funny huh? Oh yes people are a hoot.

I feel the same way when our seniors ask for a date on which we'll publish a regulation we're working on. We explain about how much time it takes to get a package approved and signed out from our own offices, then how long we have to provide for the reviewers to respond, then how many of them will be late, then how long we think it will take to adjudicate all their comments, and then how long for any subsequent rounds of coordination, then how long for the final package to show up on the radar of the demigod who has the final approval authority ... and then they just nod sagely and ask, but when are you going to publish? I think before long I'm going to need to coordinate things with the coroner.
Shaking my head at that last one.....
Being a Realtor,that lady should have known what you were saying ahead of time in that when they show a house they like to point out the high end finishes (and the ones I've dealt with will told me if I would recoup the expense or not). Guessing she forgot to read that part of the realtor manual ;o)
Bill - excellent! But if that realtor would have read that she would have called you snarky. :-)
Bonnie - realtors = DUMB!
OMG she never cleaned the tub :hork:
It must be all that running that makes the soccer players so hot.
Football there's a lot of sitting around. I can't believe how fat some of the football players are. Shouldn't you be like not going to have a heart attack out on the field?
Oh and I worked for a woman relator for about 2 weeks before I called my old boss back and begged for my old job back. What a whack job.
I'm going to have to start looking for a new house that I will never buy. The newer house hunting experience sounds fun.
