“Nothing speared” - Side-stabbing MLS Bloopers!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

Hi Folks, I decided to combine a new Blooper Blog post with one I posted in October several years ago, because some of these gaffes are all-time classics. Here’s some "autumn color" for you, so please enjoy:

Amenities You Can Live Without

“Nothing speared” (That’s a good selling point…if you’re a tuna.)

“New plow price” (Uh, who's "plowing" whom?)

“Village ppl home” (Village People? This must be in West Hollywood.)

‘Built-in girl” (Caitlin Jenner I presume...)

“Good seals in attic and basement” (Maybe you should think about installing a pool…)

And Then There’s Dexter…

“New head in shower” (New inmate in San Quentin)

“Has sold bones” (That explains why only the head was found in the shower...)

“Scream in back” (No doubt this preceded the shower incident.)

“Corrections will be made” (Meet your new warden…)

From Left to Right 

“Welcome Tea Party” (Uh, not so much. Here in L.A. the heads of Tea Party members are often found in the showers of Hollywood liberals. )

“Lots of cook air” (The cook should lay off the beans.)

“Just needs paint and flugging up” (It seems you did enough "flugging" up for everyone.)

“A true wander” (Just like your thought patterns…)

This Week’s Fave:

“Privates purchase” (That’s against the law… unless you’re a member of Congress of course.)

 

That's all until next time, folks. In the meantime - Spell and Sell!

Jay, I don't think anything is wrong with the spear. Can you test it at home and send us photos, please? After all, you are my "Man About Town" regarding head-scratching topics of debate.  :-)

Conrad, how nice to hear from you!  How is beautiful Massachusetts? I sure miss the Boston area where my ex was from. Great state!

Kathleen, perhaps they've been speared in the head a few too many times!

Just too funny, Gwen.  And, always with a tinge of worry about whether I proof read my listings well enough.

Gabe, we all flub up...but a bit of extra care keeps human error to a minimum. These perps apparently didn't take that extra step!

Gwen, I'm still trying to figure out what flugging is, but until then, great blog. And, happy birthday tomorrow!!

Mike, my guess is they intended to type "fluffing," but what do I know? Maybe flugging is the new craze! And thank you for your birthday wishes!!!

This is really funny, Gwen.  I recently saw one in our MLS where the agent said, "this home is in a very undesireable area."  My thoughts immediately flew to the lost, patient skill of proofreading.  Thanks to those who eschew it for keeping the rest of us laughing  ;)

To bad spell check does not pick up on everything, because one of those could very well be mine.
