My MIL and FIL have lived in the same house for decades now. They were the caretakers for MIL's father, who finally passed away last year. Now they're ready to sell their house and start a fresh chapter of their lives.
Fast forward to last week in which they set up several different house showings for the property. They vacated the house for the day, letting their realtor manage all of the showings. When they got back that evening, however, there was a human-sized turd on the rug in their bathroom.
There are so many things wrong with this. Why did the realtor allow anyone to be alone in a room of a house in which the sellers still live? Why did this individual poop on the rug of a home that they were considering buying? If it was a child (perhaps the only plausible explanation that I can think of), why was said child unattended?
But the crazy thing is that the story doesn't end there (which I'm sure you gathered from the title). "Poop people" actually put an offer on the house...for $100K less than the asking price. The sheer audacity of that is astounding to me. A real power move to poop in a house you are interested in like marking your territory and then lowballing the sellers.
My in-laws obviously didn't accept that offer, but apparently there has been legitimate haggling back and forth. The last that I heard, "poop people" are back up to pretty close to the asking price but have asked for two kayaks on the property to be added to the deal to sweeten the pot. My in-laws were planning on tossing the kayaks anyway, so they're actually taking all of this under serious contemplation.
If I were them, my "demand" would be a written explanation of why there was poop on the rug of my bathroom following the house showing. I wouldn't even necessarily want an apology; I just have the morbid curiosity of knowing why on earth someone would do such a thing.
Edit: Apparently the realtor for "poop people" is not the same as my in-laws' realtor. In-law realtor reached out to "poop people" realtor asking wtf happened and didn't get any response on that. Instead, the next day poop people realtor simply messaged to inform in-laws' realtor about the offer.
If anything further develops on all of this, I will update.
