Adventures in house hunting

So we went out with a realtor looking at houses today. It was kind of exciting. Mostly because the world is full of crazy people. At one house, we drove up and there was a drunk guy in the garage talking to the lady who lived there. He swore at us, and our realtor got up in his face and told him to respect women and mind his manners generally. I thought he was going to punch him out, but then the drunk guy decided to be nice and apologize and try to be social. Turns out he lives across the street. Score one for the neighborhood. Note to the world: if you're trying to sell your house for more than it's worth, don't have your wasted neighbor in the garage when prospective buyers are around.

Things got more exciting when we finished looking at houses. We were talking to our realtor in front of a bunch of townhouses, when his four year old son decided to he had to go really bad and peed right by our car. We were too busy laughing to keep him from stealing a ball out of someone's yard and throwing it on top of the carport. Our poor realtor just turned to us and said, "Dude. Don't have boys." Words of wisdom.

Moral of the story. You should go house shopping. Make new friends. See the world. Swap stories with your realtor to see who got robbed at gunpoint more times on their mission. You'll be glad you did.
