"Multiple tourists" - The Blooper Sightseeing Bus

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

When was the last time you saw a tourist in your back yard...or a horse head on your street? This week the Blooper Scooper picked up some beauties, friends. Some of these goofs are baffling, but I think we owe Auto-fill a lot of credit for that. Thanks to Jane Peters of Los Angeles for her great find. Spell well and sell well, folks!

The Tour Is About To Begin

“Backyard has multiple tourists” (Another Hollywood tour bus veered off course.)

“New mane to street” (Thank you, Vito Corleone.)

“Furnished least by Oct 1″ (Offered by We-Steal-Your-Stuff Realty) 

“Dome vacancies” (Is the dome that vacant thing attached to your neck?)

“Duel indoor/outdoor fireplace” (Take ten steps, then fire your pokers.)

Be Sure To Take Photos

“Waynescots in living room” (...because Wayne's wife found Wayne's car on the lawn.)

“Big house - lack view” (Big idiots lack clarity.)

“Sage and sound balcony”  (Can I use it to flavor my roast chicken?)

“Bad credit not a problem – ask ho” (Ho's take cash only, dufis!)

“Lots of  jazmon” (Yeah, mon…nice ganja, too, eh?)

Souveniers Anyone?

“House lot of color and is high” (So is the agent.)

“Kiddies cutcakes”  (Adults cut cheese.)

“Seller will flinch floors” (He’ll also flinch at your spelling.)

“Need bruise clearance” (Mike Tyson must be selling his crib.)

Time For Refreshments

“Five minutes to Strip” (Buy me a drink, and then we'll negotiate.)

 

That's it for this week, folks. For more real estate humor, please visit me at www.sherlockofhomes.blogspot.com or at Agent Genius. And for all your real estate needs, please visit www.LAhomesite.com.  Have a good week!

John, maybe that agent meant to type "terraces" Or "terrorists"? Or "thoraxes"? Or maybe that agent had taken a mind-altering drug. Yep...I'm going with the latter.

Ann, it helps to be able to read before one tries to proof read!

Bad spellers and non thinkers unite!  Raise your fist in defiance of the man!  (That would be Daniel Webster).

And strip - you got five minutes after you finish your excellent MLS listing info!

This stuff is hard to believe!!

Gwen, I'd flinch if I had to work with that agent!

Thanks for my weekly smile :)

Patty, you're too nice. If I had to work with him, he'd need "bruise clearance"!

I don't know, Gwen.  Asking a ho anything if you've got bad credit does not sound like a recipe for a fun evening.  "Whatchu mean, slacker.  You ain't ridin' the pony fo free!"

Hi Gwen--gosh, can things really be this bad?  Quite honestly, some of these comments I don't understand.  I have to read my MLS more carefully!

How about at least Jazzmin? Yikes, as usual no one knows where the spell check is.

Janet, no one could understand some of these without a Rosetta Stone! Lyn, even spell check requires a modicum of intelligence!

Gwen, I love these posts.  But, I always have to remember to go to the bathroom first and refrain from eating or drinking while reading them!

Have a great week.  And I so appreciate your sense of humor.
