"Cow first" - Great MLS Bloopers

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

 

 

It’s Blooper Friday, and the spelling and grammar rebels are at it again, folks. Welcome to the Blooper Blog. Please enjoy these hilarious gaffes:

 

A Roo

 

“Flex bedroos”  (The latest trend in kangaroo housing...)

 

"Pants are optional choice" (Tell that to your arresting officer.)

 

“Great locomotion” (As we say in California, “EARTHQUAKE”!!!)

 

“Closet Sunday” (Sorry, but I live in West Hollywood where all closets are empty.)

 

“Interior designer comes with house.” (My mistake - it seems someone still is in the closet.)

 

A Moo

 

“Cow for more info” (Sorry, but I don't speak moo.)

 

“Must coop sellers banker” (Why – does she lay eggs?)

 

”Acheway to kitchen” (Everyone aches when I’m in the kitchen.) 

 

“Key is hidding” (So is your dictionary.)

 

A Poo

 

“Yard drops” (That explains the brown stuff on your shoe.)

 

“Near Vevmo” (It’s “Bevmo Liquor,” and apparently you spent too much time there…)

 
“Dog in hose bites” (Maybe his garter belt is too tight.)

 

“Bring your vision” (Why - are you afraid I'll park on your porch again?)

 

“Cabinet completely redone” (Someone must be selling the White House.)

 

Adieu

 

“Twilight Wine and Chest” (Wow - I usually keep my shirt on until after the 3rd martini.)

 

“Put lipstick on this pig” (Okay, this is just hilarious!)

 

"House sold ass is" (Well that explains the large crack!)

 

 

That’s it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell.

Jay Markanich, I, too,  am amazed at how many flippers do the sizzle but not the systems. I bet we could sit around and trade horror stories. I also think your tales could even top mine!

Gwen Banta - I'm so glad Barbara Todaro did a re-blog or I would have missed this one. It's sadly hilarious! I think the longer we spend on the Internet the more our eyes fail to see these stupid mistakes. 

Thanks for making me laugh today!

Hahaha, I too found this via Barbara - glad I did. Laughter is always a good way to start the day. D

James Dray, I agree. Spell check is just a start because it cannot substitute the correct word. For instance it cannot substitute "buns" for "butts" in the phrase "Get your hot butts here." :-)

Patricia Feager, that's a good point. I spend so much time at a computer that I am now reading and typing faster, and much more inaccurately!

Gwen- I have to admit to being a horrible proofreader. That said, I love reading these and I love it that you compile these for us.

Hello Gwen.....

I can't wait to read your Friday blogs, as I always learn something new about you. Case in point.

"Everyone aches when I’m in the kitchen."

I would have guessed that you would be the penultimate gourmet chef.

Best wishes,

RJ

RJ, that’s just literary license. I can cook quite well...but I prefer not to. Trader Joe is the chef in my kitchen.

Thank you, Gabe Sanders. I think these bloopers are just a reminder that maybe we all need to slow down a bit. Have a wonderful weekend!

Chris Johnson, the “ass is” would surely make an agent think twice about extensive inspections, right?

Of course I love your MLS bloopers, but I'm struggling over one...  What exactly is the "optional choice"? It's second on your list.

Until next time! Thank you.
