Today my husband (who I work with) showed homes to two different couples and was gone from 10 Am and returned home at 6:15 pm. He got home as the family was sitting down to some Chinese Take Out, as you can imagine he was tired from being "ON" all day for buyers he had just met. Make note, it is a Sunday evening.
His phone rings. It's a listing agent looking for feedback on her listing. I tell him and he says I don't remeber which one it was tell her to call me tomorrow, besides were eating dinner. So I tell her he just walked in from showings all day and we are eating dinner can she please call him tomorrow. The agent then says in a snotty and annoyed voice "Well, I would appreciate a call back so I can give my sellers feedback on his showing". At this point I got huffy right back at her and said, "He just got in, its Sunday night at 6 pm, feedback can wait until Monday - its common courtesy. Please call him for feedback tomorrow". That was it, the conversation was over.
There is a small part of me that feels bad that we had this conversation, but the truth is I think its rude to call for feedback on a Sunday at 6:15 pm, unless there is a really good reason and if she had one she sure didn't provide it. It usually takes a lot for me to get really annoyed. I am sure the fact that we have been working and running our tails off showing homes every day for the last 3 months or so doesn't help my sense that work is intruding on our personal/family time. Thanks for letting me vent. I don't know, what do you think about this?
