Sorry I didn't bring my snorkel. As a home inspector I've gotten used to expect the unexpected. I try to imagine every possible scenario and to prepare accordingly. I always pack extra batteries, an extra camera, my inspection software is loaded on my cell phone, my laptop and my tablet. I carry extra clothing and just about every tool you can imagine. Most people would agree I'm over prepared, but it never dawned on me to bring a snorkel.
I drove 50 miles to this inspection, my client drove slightly over 100, the listing agent didn't bother. When I contacted the agent he informed me that he never attends the inspections. Then he proceeded to tell me that perhaps I should be better prepared. I didn't bring my snorkel and he didn't get the sale.
