Today, as a part of my job, I took a couple around to look at houses that are on sale. After driving them around and looking at tons of houses, the wife said, "Okay. I think we have enough decorating ideas." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a realtor came to take a look at my house. I had worked all morning to make it look lovely. When they took pictures, I explained a number of ways I could change things so everything would look as good as possible. After the house tour, they told me it should be bulldozed. FML
Today, my wife and I were house-hunting. The only house that looked remotely like what we hoped for had a neighbor who flies a huge American flag and owns a massive pickup. I think we'll keep looking. FML
Today, I took a good look, and I mean a really good look around the house and I realized that if I simply threw away all my wife’s useless crap she bought and hasn’t used in years, or even unwrapped from the plastic, we could probably move into a smaller, cheaper house. FML
Today, my fiancé and I toured our dream home. I was so excited about it that I posted all kinds of pictures of it on Facebook. My boss's daughter just called and said she loved my pictures so much that she made an offer on the house. We were one week away from making an offer. FML
Today, after getting back from my interior design class, I told my husband that I learned the golden rule for home decor: "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." He looked at me dead in the eyes, and didn't say a word. FML
Today, after our housing offer was accepted, I told my parents. The only response was, “That’s a much nicer house than I had when I got married, I hope you can afford furniture.” Thanks mom. FML
Today, after weeks of slaving away, I finally wrapped up the last house project on the backlog. I decided to take a day to relax around the house in celebration. My wife spent all day following me around, moaning that I never go anywhere, and that she never gets any space. FML
Today, after finally convincing my wife to let me donate the piles of junk lying around, I was backing out of the driveway with a full load when she ran out going, "Wait, wait!" She wants to go through everything and try to sell it. Back to square fucking one. FML
Today, my wife told me not to rush her during packing for our upcoming move. She's lived in the house for 30 years and apparently needs to reminisce over every single item. FML
Today, my wife and I drove two hours from our rural town to buy a new sofa. When we got home, it took us an hour to figure out there was no way to fit it through our door. We made the two hour drive back to return it, only to find the store was closed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As a realtor, I lock every door in the houses I show my clients and don't open them until they agree to purchase the house. It is a very good technique.

kill thrm and wrap their bodies in the drapes. that's a nice little decorating touch that they should enjoy.

OP, it's your job and you get paid for it so quit complaining. I have to take care of a 6 year old every day for free :/

20, the OP sounds like a realtor and will ONLY get paid when she sells a home. FYL OP because those people could have just watched a few episodes of HDTV for that.(:

realtors get paid whether they sell houses or not, they would just get an extra commission if they sell a house

Haha. Sounds like something my parents would do… look at houses for sale to get decorating ideas. Maybe they're the couple in this FML. Sorry OP.

At least the OP found out the couple's ulterior motives instead of following up with them later, cultivating the contact some more, and wasting even more time and energy. But, such are the risks and challenges involved in being a realtor. Perhaps now you know what to look out for. Still, I'd be pretty pissed about the waste of gas.

hey 50, You're in the wrong place. You should be part of Al Gore's team.

Not sure what you mean. I don't concern myself with all that scaremongering. Pretty sure humans are doomed anyway, so I'll just live my life and try to enjoy it to the fullest. What I meant was the waste of my hard-earned money on the gas to drive those people around all day. That's what would piss me off, if anything.

oh we're doomed alright

I would've (personal opinion) killed them, hung them from the balcony, took glamour shots, framed them and sent them to their kids to hang up on their wall

Aren't these guys paid on commission? I wouldn't know, I live in a pond.
MerrikBarbarian 9
actually no. realtors are paid on commission. no sale, no pay

My dad's a real-estate agent, so I'm pretty sure that driving them around is only PART of the job. They have to sell the house too, so that couple wasted her entire day.

24 - true but there will eventually be more customers and someone will definitely buy the house

30-I don't know about definitely. It could take a while.

Yeah, dude. The reals tate market is way down. My dad makes a lot of his money from foreclosures.

Your profile is funny! Not everyone is willing to admit that they can sometimes be a "chicken in the hole".

smart thinking.

Sounds like a shitty technique in my opinion. They have to see the house in order to decide if they want to buy it. Now, verifying that your clients are actually buying before you show a house is different, but refusing to show it unless they're already agreeing to buy it is ridiculous.

why doesn't she just look at magazines and decide from there, instead of wasting YOUR time! some people in this world are so stupid they should come up with ideas them selves
