“Fruit archer in yard” - The Blooper Blog is Back!

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

 

 It's Blooper Friday, folks, and Summer Daze seems to be rampant. Please enjoy these MLS and real estate advertising gaffes:

Beans and Such

“Open lentil 2:00”  (Clueless agent at 1:00)

 

“Fruit archer in yard” (That explains the arrow in your gourd.)

 

“Great color flavors” (Spoiler Alert: Licking lead paint kills brain cells.)

 

“Area is tranquilizing” (So is Ambien, but we know where that allegedly leads.)

 

“No need to go anywear for vacation” (I suggest a trip to summer school.)

 

Beano for Lunch

 

“Large pati with BBQ hook-up” (So large Pati has gas?)

 

“Come for frosty margarita” (Warm her up or call an Uber.)

 

“Built-in expresso machine” (Did it express its dismay at spelling espresso with an ‘x’?)

 

“Two cat garage” (Thanks, Siegfried. How's Roy?)

 

"Bean" There, Done That

  

“Drive through locked gate” (You're confusing me with General Sherman.)

 

“Bilt with highest standards” (That’s definitely ironic.)

 

“Show me the mooney” (How ‘bout if I just show you the door?)

 

"Automagic door" (Can it saw a person in half?)

 

“Tours by grope only” (Welcome to Capitol Hill.)

 

To Bean or Not To Bean - (Or a Tale of Two Sh_tties)

 

“Movement ready” (Be like Punxsutawney Phil and duck back in for awhile, dude.)

 

"Crack has been there for years" (So has mine, but I don't brag about it.)

 

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

Jay Markanich, I am so glad you have found a better way to "expresso" yourself beyond dropping your drawers. Aren't you glad folks didn't have iPhone cameras back in the day?

Hello Gwen.....

At some time, we are guilty of making errors or typos, so nothing is realy a suprise.

The reason I look forward to your posts on Fridays, are your very, very, very clever responses to the absurd.

You "is" the one and only wordsmith, and I am looking forward to reading your new novel.

Admiringly yours,

RJ

Good morning Gwen Banta,

Oh how I love these..... they are hilarious! At some time, we are guilty of making errors or typos, so nothing is really a surprise. Humor definitely makes life so much better!

Hi Gwen

More good reasons for agents to ask their sellers to proofread the listing. Or perhaps they did! We all make typos from time to time.

Gwen, thanks for a humorous look at how typos can change the message.

I find that when texting the auto correct can change a word that I would never use. And I have sent them without checking. How embarrassing.

Thanks for the reminder to check first.

John Wiley, I agree - I have dictated a lot of texts to Siri, who really seems to enjoy throwing me under the bus!
