Here it is again for a holiday laugh track !

I got an unusual phone call from a woman today.
She told me that her agent was a
"fat faced, overweight, real estate agent whose car
smelled like a bucket of fried chicken and had more
crap on the floorboard than the city land fill".
She wants to teminate her listing agreement
because her agent is "sloppy and fat".
Hmmm...not good !
She went on to tell me that the agent waddled like a duck
and exceeded the weight and balance restrictions for her
vehicle.
She said that the agent was so fat that she needed a
commercial vehicle license to chauffer because the car
exceeded 25 thousand pounds.
What ???
She was blowing off steam and expressing in her own lurid
manner that she didn't want to do business with a
"fat-faced, loud mouthed, overweight, pot bellied"
agent because she was "embarrassing" her.
Is it right for your customer or client to act that way ?
I told her that she can't terminate the agreement even if
her agent is an obnoxious, fat slob as long as the
agent's doing her job in keeping with the laws governed by
our state's real estate commission.
Would you hang up on this client, correct her, take
the client's listing agreement after the
listing agreement with her agent terminates or
expires, or would you just
listen to her and say nothing ?
I listened and politely referred
her to another broker !
By the way, the "sloppy" agent didn't work for us.
