"What doesn't kill you will just make you Stronger!" That's what my grandfather taught me. He used to
heckle anyone, anything, anywhere and anytime.....maybe that is why I am now a heckler. I'll give you a few examples:
1. I'm at the movies, with my wife, during the opening week of one of the Lord of the Rings movies and at the part where the hobbit creature is sitting atop of a tree, as it's racing down to save all the other trees in the forest......the theater is quiet, the music dramatic, and I yell ..."RUN FOREST, RUN!". Imagine hysterical laughter for the next 10 minutes as trees are running around everywhere trying to save their world.
2. I'm at a minor league baseball game. The home team is down by two runs in the 7th inning and up to bat in a tough game. The visitors put in a relief pitcher to start the inning and I start yelling...."Pitchers Got a Rubber Arm!" or "We Want a Pitcher not a Belly Itcher!!"....childish, yes or course, but after four relief pitchers, bases loaded in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings, AND THREE runs later, the home team wins. Was it me? Or just good baseball?
And Lastly....
3. I'm in my office going through the MLS reading the showing instructions: "Can only be shown on Saturdays from 1 - 3 pm", "Tenant requires 1 week notice (or more) to show, because they are uncooperative.", "Owner having personal difficulty with sale of home, drive by only", "Out of Area Agents must call for access. (FROM AN OUT OF AREA AGENT WHO IS NOT USING A LOCAL LOCK BOX).", and my favorite, "Don't call me for any reason I will not take your call."
If these are your showing instructions, I don't mean to be insensitive but, I WILL PROBABLY HECKLE YOU! It might be in the privacy of my office, over the phone, or maybe even in person. I don't intend for it to be mean, but C'MON! If just getting in to show your listing is this big of a deal, it's just a guess, (and I REALLY hope I'm wrong) but it seems like YOU are probably going to be a PAIN IN THE ASS TO WORK WITH for the next 30-45 days, but hey, what doesn't KILL me will just make me stronger! Right?
Thanks Grandpa, miss you!
