It was a motor coach. How many times do we need to go over this. ;)

I can't wrap my head around this. It is true that I am old, way past my prime, pretty much of a slob.... But for a woman, a young woman that is attractive and vivacious to ever ignore me would be hard for me to imagine. I'm not saying it could not, and does not, happen on a daily basis.

I just would not like to imagine it.

The white man has been kept down long enough.

Hard to improve on this post:

One other thing that comes to mind, realtors have been robbed and/or raped while showing a home. Letting someone in with them into an enclosed space, someone who just came out of the blue, could seem potentially threatening.

Wow you all have hate issues you need to deal with.

Of course it could. But a selfish person fails to look at a situation from another's perspective.

Can you see it from the OP's perspective?

IMHO, it's not hate.

It's human nature to break balls when someone comes on a forum with the level of arrogance, obnoxiousness, and know it all chutzpah that the op has shown for many years.

His cryptic posts are not new. He also likes to stir the pot shall we say by making controversial comments and also btw, loves to project his own prejudices on other forum members.

As to the subject of this thread:

Seems to me that the person in his post picture is lily white, one would naturally assume that the op is that white person since he is standing next to a W211 that he bought, never leased. So, one also might assume that since he is probably white and is claiming racism that the realtor is not white. An alleged case of reverse discrimination is what being discussed here. Though his cryptic posts would have one think that he is an African-American and the agent was white.

I call BS on the whole story, more than likely he was simply driving by and noticed the realtor and decided to interject himself into someone else's business for his own amusement. Realtors see this all the time, and the agent shouldn't have to play along with childish games while risking losing a sale. Personally, if I had been a prospective buyer and some random dude wandered up and wanted to tag along while we discussed my private business I would have shown him the door if the agent had not. Just a wild speculation, but corporate espionage takes many forms and the op may have been caught red handed. Then again it could simply be what I said that he did it for fun.

To be professional about it; from a technical standpoint there is no hero, no villain, no chance for character growth and no problem to overcome. There is a misunderstanding that could be cleared up in less than ten seconds and then the film is over. I may be good, but it is hard to invent 119 minutes and 50 seconds of story where there is no there there.

But........

The hero of the story would be Joe, but he would need to try and understand what was going on and not just jump to passing the problem off to someone else. He would also have to run into this again and again, for no apparent reason, and then work, with the help of a mentor, to discover why he had suddenly become a person that everyone feared and avoided.

The villain is not apparent. That would be the problem Joe would need to solve; that would be his quest. And he would need to understand the motivation of the villain before he could do this, think he has the solution, and then suddenly face total defeat. He would recover from this defeat, but only with the help of his mentor.

The key to being a hero is that the hero works through the problem and finds the solution even though they don't want to. When God called Moses to lead the people out of Egypt the first thing Moses said was find someone else. I can't do this, it's too hard, I mumble when I speak.... And yet the hero, Moses, prevailed with the help of his mentor God.

The original story here is a pretty thin nail to hang a shingle on, but if the money is there........?

Did someone say... reverse racism?!

SRJ--were you wearing a hoodie?

Well I guess that any confusion over "Joe's" apparent race has been ended with his hasty inclusion of a picture of him in his rosy-cheeked glory as a signature pic. I just hope that he wasn't offended by those on this forum who assumed that he was a man of color.

To Kerry: This image could possibly offer clues to his attire that day...

Wow that is thread-jacking if ever I saw any. :rolleyes:

Though admittedly, we are a pretty rough crew around here.

Also could the client, if Joe had been entertained, wonder if there is a shill game going on? How many times have we heard the "Well, I have another SERIOUS buyer coming this afternoon so let me know ASAP if you want this (insert item here).". I know I have. To which I replied "Well, if he wants it that bad, he can have it. I'm not going to get into a bidding war and rush my decision.". Something strange always seems to happen. The afternoon and a day pass and the item is still for sale. Weird. Once, sure. Why is it every time it happens to me that the item is still for sale AFTER the serious buyer was supposed to come and put money down? Must be that I have led a good life and Karma is repaying me.

Which is why I am wondering if anything short of tossing him out on his ear will make the buyer wonder if there is a shill game going on.

I've heard the snooze saying but I am not a big fan of it for the very simple reason that if you gain today's sale but lose tomorrow and the day after and the day after that, is it worth it? As some would say "If you want to be a thief, make sure you steal enough you can retire on. You already got the bad rep, might as well make it worth your while.". Either way, you are a thief so why do penny ante stuff? IMO, a professional would value his reputation enough for future endeavors that they'd pass on a possible quick kill today if it can endanger tomorrow.
