Dr. Freud, are you in? MLS mumbo jumbo oddball slip ups & more

Share

cartoon freudThis week I’m highlighting not only weird spellings, but oddball comments in the MLS and in our local real estate magazines. Sometimes I think the subconscious mind is controlling the typing, while the conscious mind is watching old Seinfeld and Family Guy reruns. Maybe Dr. Freud could explain some of these hilarious Los Angeles area postings:

Carl Jung and Then Some:

“Do not go before calling  – god bites.” (That beats burning in the depths of hell.)

“Do not disturb occupunks” (The headstone of Sid Vicious?)

“Seller won’t pay to test septic – says he’s cleaned out.” (Apparently seller ran a router through his down-spouter.)

“Wine and cheesey balls served.” (Uh, pardon me, Mr. Limburger, are  these yours?”)

“Buyer who shows the most gets reward.” (Seriously, dude, laughing at you is reward enough!)

“Master with sauna and new hit tub” (A Jersey special – Cream ‘em, Steam ‘em and Clean ‘em.)

Dr. Kinsey and Seller Whimsy

“Pipes just rodol roodled”  (Agent just befiddle faddled.)

“Be sure to leave your business.” (I have a hunch the seller who’s “cleaned out” already did.)

“House w/ big balcony. Walk on at own risk.” (Does the HOA cover DOA?)

“Staples for horses” (Office Depot for cows.)

“If you pass, you’ll be sorry.” (Especially if God bites!)

Call Dr. Phil, Then Pop a Pill

“Seller says Pull the Plug.” (Proudly Offered by Dr. Kervorkian.)

“One of best deals in Lost Angeles” (Yeah, but only if you can find it…)

“Cute bungalow in Hollyodd” (A tiny pod in a place that’s odd?)

“Fax offers – Hurry. No droppings. We’re serious!”  (Yeah, we get it – we can’t “leave our business,” right?)

My Picks ‘o the Week:

“Probate – seller did not perspire on property.”  (Hence,  he did expire of heat stroke on the kitchen floor.)

“House has really big gas hater” (We all hate gas, honey, but that’s just God’s way of keeping us afloat…before He bites you.)

I wear several hats: My mink fedora real estate hat belongs to Sotheby’s International Realty on the world famous Sunset Strip. I’M not world famous, but I've garnered a few Top Producer credits along the way. I also wear a coonskin writer's cap with an arrow through it, having written a few novels and screenplays and scored a few awards there, too. (The arrow was from a tasteless critic.) My sequined turban is my thespian hat for my roles on stage, and in film and television, Dahling. You can check me out in all my infamy at LinkedIn, LAhomesite.com, SherlockOfHomes, IMDB or you can shoot arrows at my head via email. I can take it.
