There is never a day that goes by in ActiveRain where you can’t read about the professionalism of this agent or lender. “He said this”, “she said that”. “They were so rude, I will never show their homes again.”
Yesterday an agent in my office overheard a phone conversation of a listing agent drilling a buyer's agent because she never called to cancel a showing when her clients decided that they had enough for one day. The listing agent didn’t actually yell at the agent but did tell them how unprofessional they were and immediately hung up the phone without the buyers agent having a chance to explain.
The agent who overheard the conversation started a little dialog that went something like this.
Brent: What did those buyer’s buy?
Joe: What do mean?
Brent: If those buyers haven’t purchased anything yet and are still looking at homes, I’ll bet they don’t see yours because you just hung up on their agent.
Joe: Gulp....I never thought of that.
Joe was so upset because his seller had given him an ear full he then took it out on the buyers agent.
A lot of times people change the names in stories to protect the innocent but not in this case. Yes, I was the unprofessional one here and let my emotions get the best of me. My father has always said two wrongs never make a right. This agent should have called but I also should have stopped and listened. I have since 
contacted the agent and apologized. Crow tastes better when it’s warm.
