Really, that should be my mantra. The amount of times I have to say that to people every day. I should just put a big sign up on the door so that they don't come in and bother me.
What gets me is that after you say it, most people just go 'oh', and stand there and stare at you stupidly, as if we can still help them in some way. OK, some of them aren't too bad but its like go away and leave me alone you slack jawed freak.
Sorry, but I've been selling houses for over three years and everywhere I've worked I've had the same thing happen. Maybe we should do rentals, oh hang on, no. The hassle would be ridiculous. Selling is nice and easy but renting is just a hornets nest of hell. I should know, people in rentals departments are always overstressed and quit.
Ah well, being an estate agent a lot of people hate me anyway. I've given up trying to tell people that I'm nice while on viewings. Some people just look at you with such an evil glare of suspicion as if you're about to suck dry their bank account and force them to buy a beetle-infested shack. I have got thick skinned over the years in my realisation that whatever I say or do, however pleasant I am, the general public will never change.
I've just come back from taking on 2 flats that are so small and depressing, the only good thing I could think to say about them was at least the ceilings are high so you won't have any trouble hanging yourself.
OK, rant for the day is well and truly over. I have to go to B&Q tonight and buy some paint while it's still 15% off, then I have to go to my Dads and discuss the wedding list with them, and then its home to do a pile of ironing and make dinner. But right now I'm off to eat a kiwi fruit. Bet you're jealous of my inspiring life! I was a bit naughty and bought a top in my lunch hour today from Land of Green Ginger. It's a dark brown long crochet jumper and will look good with jeans.
