Sorry, You & Your Ego won't Fit In This Room

Well this is an easy cartoon to work from off of... not that there are any "inflated" people or egos in the Real Estate business. I'm not a mean person but sometimes it's fun to see those people get deflated... like...

Shania's song has always been one of my favorites. She is such a talented artist I wouldn't dare say this one is my absolute favorite.

Real Estate is not the only profession where BIG egos exist, so I'll just say anyone with a big ego makes me want to puke.

Some Fun Quotes

What can you possibly add to a mind that's full, especially one that's full of itself.  Joubert

An egotist always resents meeting another egotist as if he alone had the right to be one. Jules Renard

We have a world of people to fall in love with, yet some people choose themselves. unknown

There are so many wonderful quotes on ego I could not print them all but here is one more that stood out to me.

An egotist is a person who thinks that if he wouldn't have been born, people would have wondered why. unknown

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning, Bob... loved those quotes. Some were actually quite funny. People with big egos are found in all walks of life, not just real estate. Many ultimately to get their come-uppance.

I think most of them do indeed get their come-uppances Nina Hollander, Broker and it's a good thing when they do so they start recognising others.

Good morning Bob. Sometimes you have to find humor at the level of thinking some egotists find themselves. It is indeed an easy laugh. Enjoy your day.

What fun quotes! It's sad that some people can't see past themselves.

It really is sad Kat Palmiotti . Being full of oneself is what transformed Lucifer into Satan.

We have so many type A personalities in real estate. They can make it hard to do a deal.

That's a fact Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . I know a few instances where the agent made decisions that their client had no idea that they made, all do to the agents need to show how brilliant he/she was/is.

A little humility goes a long way in any profession. Clients remember the people who listen, solve problems, and work as part of the team far more than those who lead with ego.

That is correct Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 . No one wants to work with someone who is a legend only in their own mind.

Hmm, being able to inflate oneself simply by sniffing would be quite the skill, haha.

Wouldn't it though Brian England . You would need some real elastic skin. I could use a little inflation to get rid of all my wrinkles.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - I would imagine egotistical people have a hard time connecting positively in the real world. I couldn't imagine being a parent of a child like that or a teacher teaching a class with a student with that issue either. I wonder if it's a mental problem.

I'm not a phycologist Patricia Feager but with all the emphasis on coddling children and  making sure the never experience low self esteem I'm surprised there are not millions more egotists then there are. Some people are brilliant, most are average, and some are just plain slow. I think our education system just sets them up for a big let down.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - I would have to agree with you. Many people from my generation had a lot less than what kids get today. Consequences? Discipline? Does that even exist? I'm beginning to believe less is more.

Hi Bob- these quotes had me laughing. I equate ego with arrogance..a trait I am not overly fond of 

Mar 05, 2026 06:04 PM

I agree with you on the subject of arrogance Kathy Streib 😄 and many, many more subjects.
