Why? My Sunday Rant I guess

By
Real Estate Agent with Samson Properties SP98364271

 

Why do I have to wait at a T-Mobile store for almost two hours just for them to figure out why my cellphone doesn't ring anymore? Two hours are you kidding me?

Why do I have to possibly leave a office to go to another office when I am fine where I am at? But sometimes change is for the better I guess.

Why did so many home buyers who missed out on the $8000 home buyer tax credit that expired in April 30 2010 but all of a sudden they are now asking me some "Are they going to extend the tax credit again?" What am I cleo? Nostradamus? If I could give people a piece of my mind sometimes,it would not be nice.

Why are you driving 30 mph on a 55 mph zone? If I wanted to see a slow person drive,I would go and watch "Driving Miss Daisy". Heck if I may recall,I didn't even think he drove that slow did he? Its been a very long time since I saw that movie.

Why do you decide you want to become a underwear or thong model by wearing your pants hang pass your a$#? Really! I don't need to be looking at your dirty a#%# undies-FOR REAL. STOP IT.

Why do some people date people that treat them like s$%## when somebody would love to treat you like the king or queen that you are? Misery loves company I guess. I can never figure that one out.

Why do so called telemarketers try to sell me bulls$# promising me that they would get me more business and get me on first page on Google so that people can find me? When I asked the guy who could get me on first page on Google how did he find me,he never responsed. Idiot,I am drinking Google Juice thanks to Active Rain. What the heck are you smoking?LOL. You and your staff/company need to ask me how you can get on first page on Google-IDIOOOT!

Why do some real estate professionals still haven't gotten on board and join the great Active Rain but yet there are paying thousands with these other companies and getting no results? Again pay me that money you are wasting and let me help you solve your problems-LOL.

Why do Lebron James want to leave Cleveland when he is so close to winning many NBA titles with the Cavaliers? Get him a good star combo guard-Ex:Gilbert Arenas,Joe Johnson and a good big man. Ex:Trade for Brook Lopez or Yao Ming and he is set. Look what he has accomplished with what they have given him. Give him what Kobe Bryant has including Phil Jackson and let's see who would be winning many NBA championships in years to come. Can anyone say Dynasty in Cleveland? I can.

And Why is it some damn hot? My clothes are soo soaked people can't tell whether I am sweating or just got sprayed with water from a fire hydrant. Freaking little bastards-LOL.

But those are my rants for today. You have any? Please share. Getting whatever is on your chest might make you feel better.

Do you feel better now??  It always feels so much lighter when I get done with my rants; its sort of like aaaaaaaaah, that felt good.  Is the weather really that hot up there?

Lanre, I can relate with most of your rants.

One that I'll add because it just happened is; I called on a listing that my client is interested in and the owners main contact number was disconnected; the second number turned out to be a fax machine and then I called three different contact numbers in the listing office, I had to leave a message on each and then when calls were finally returned no one new anything about the house except that it was their listing...oh yeah very professional!

I guess I need to comment on the low riding pants thing...what is up with that anyway???  I saw a guy at a gas station today dressed/undressed like that and I really couldn't help but smile and shake my head.

I've got more, but I'm trying to end this day on a positive note so I'll stop....oh yeah a positive note...it was only 93 degrees here today.

I like Nick's renting too... that was funny... it's amazing  how things happens to us and then the next day we forget about it. . It's great to share thoughts because you may never know who you may be helping.

Lanre, even before you said how hot it was, I thought that must be the case -- it's how I react when the day is unbearable hot and muggy--I just can't stand anything!

Wishing you a cool breeze and a tall limeade,

Dr. Stacey-Ann Baugh (EOP Real Estate, LLC)-Hi Dr.Stacey. I do feel better-Thanks. By the way,I might be moving because people are telling me different stories about why Exit Premier Realty is either moving or will no longer be there and I am tired of it. Anyway my broker I guess is starting his own firm with somebody else and I don't want to go to a smaller firm. So more than likely,I am going to just move to another Exit Realty. Besides maybe I need this change.

Lottie Kendall, CA DRE#01215160 Seniors Real Estate Specialist (RE/MAX Today)-Thanks Lottie. My muse for this blog turned out to be two hour plus day at T-Mobile. I was trying to get my phone to start ringing again which they did. But did it have to take two hours. Plus it was hot that day too so that didn't help.

Gerry Michaels GettysburgGerry (Community Benefits Real Estate, Gettysburg, Pa)-Gerry I never do understand why people who put their clothes on suddenly dont like to keep it on their bodies. I don't know. Thanks my friend for your comment.

James Downing - REALTOR®,GRI, ABR - DC Real Estate (Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage)-Hey Jim. It gets like that sometimes. And by the way,I wished you would've come to Raincamp DC. Hopefully we will meet sometime this year. Thanks for stopping by.

Carra Riley CRB, CRS, GRI (Author, Speaker, Consultant, Second Homes AZ LLC)-Thanks Carra. At least people can relate to my rant. I feel even better.

Jay Schmitt (Prudential Bob Yost-Sites Homesale )-Jay my man,I had a very rough day. But I kept my cool. Even the customer rep at T-Mobile noticed it because he said you have a lot of patience man.

Jennifer Fivelsdal, Mid Hudson Valley (JFIVE HOMES REALTY LLC)-Jennifer I actually got the problem fixed. But I will upgrade to a new phone by the end of this year. I am tempted to get a I-Phone. Anybody wants to donate to my I-Phone fund? LOL. Thanks for your comments.

Donna Paul- Long Island Home Specialist Suffolk and Nassau County (Keller Williams Realty Greater Nassau)-You are absolutely right. Who knows somebody who read this blog probably got something from this-I hope. Thanks for stopping by Donna.

Nick Pappas - Madison and Huntsville Alabama (Associate Broker e-Pro REMAX MADISON, ALABAMA)-It was 93 degrees in your area Nick? I'll take that for the 1000 degrees we are getting over here-LOL. Okay it is not 1000 degrees I am sure you know that. But it is hot,hot,hot-LOL. Great to hear that you ended the day on a positive note. Thanks for stopping by Nick.
