Avoiding Hog Wash

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart

Have you ever stopped and thought about how much hogwash you hear every week, even every day?

And how do you avoid hogwash? Think about how much hogwash there was forty years ago, even twenty years ago. Probably not as much as there is today, because we did not have computers, Facebook, Twitter, internet cell phones, text, email, and many other items you find on a cell phone and as much population then as now.

One way to avoid it could be to not listen to anyone and we know that is not the way you will get through the world currently. If you were to go out in the forest or as some call it in West Virginia the sticks. With no one around, that would be a way of avoiding hogwash.

Maybe you are too young that you haven’t even heard of hogwash.

You may not agree with what I am about to say, but one way to avoid hogwash is to avoid anything said in or about Washington D. C.  That may be the major place to find it. Avoid television, YouTube radio and anywhere else you can hear weather reports or news.

One example of pure hogwash. Last week while in the store I could not find a particular brand of granola cereal. Overly concerned, I asked about it. The clerk checked his little hand computer and said it is out. I said when will you have it? He said do not know, it is even out in the warehouse, could be weeks!

Yesterday I went to buy groceries in the same store, as five or six days ago. Just thought I would check that cereal aisle. Guess what? I was able to get three boxes and leave one for someone else. 

What will happen in the future real estate market is another place to find it.

See you can find hogwash anywhere,

I hope your day is as great as mine.

Hi Dan Dee McGinnis The Pumpkin Man - I had to chuckle hearing the term "hogwash". But you are right on target with this.  I am wary or skeptical about everything I read or hear.  I will research and verify before I do anything. !!

Yes, there is more than plenty of hogwash out there. We just need to beware - and try not to help spread it!

Thanks for sharing Dan, I agree with you hogwash is everywhere!

Hello Dan - whether it is hogwash or some new version of Pig Latin, there is no shortage of "talk".  Small and not-so-miniature.

Hello Dan,  My wife was at Sam's club yesterday looking for something and it took her talking to 4 clerks till she got the right answer.
