Dan Bowers, $187.32 for being able to post Blow Job and BJ while explaining the rest in a professional manner.

Dale Duffy, $93.66 for "Go to Hell". (A go to hell is only worth half as much as a blow job)

Joe Farsetta, $1.00 for A-hole...... cause everyone has one.

Expect a check from Bob Elliott for $83.69 cause he confuses everyone.

Here's a dumb question.... what does your lawyer recommend???

Jeff

[Tim Spargo]

Recommendations?

By a Legal Professional --> I'm sure a recommendation would be pay/release as it is trivial... for now.


From Me and most of us here -->The raising of one's center finger (if you include the thumb) and the words "Go pound sand" or as Dale said "Go to hell". But lets be specific here, both need to be done just right! In order for the proper effect to take place.

EXCEPT for those few times when ...................

2 years ago I had no electricity upstairs on a 2-story. I noted no electricity AND went on. My rambunctious buyer and KAMIKAZE realtor went downstairs and came running back telling me it was NO BIG deal / just 2 breakers turned off (1 a GFCI). They told me I could reset them and check the electricity. I politely explained SoP and that although MOST of the time its NO BIGGIE, we have no idea why its OFF, so lets LEAVE it off and write it up in the report and LET the SELLER explain why its off AND reset them and show it works at some LATER time.

Neither buyer or agent had any sense and turned the electricity on. Everything appeared to be working AND they both said I was a WUSS.

The next morning I got a call from the seller, the Fire Marshall, an insurance company and others telling me I'd caused a fire that burned 2 rooms upstairs / Short in wiring / Seller had turned the breakers off and scheduled an appointment with an electrician to repair. Apparently not knowing an inspection was scheduled (house was vacant) he hadn't told his realtor.

I was quite ELATED to explain I had told the agent and buyer to LEAVE the DAMN things off, BUT they turned the breakers ON - NOT I.

If memory serves me correctly everybody got sued EXCEPT for the nice OLDER Home Inspector.

Over 32 years I've got half a dozen stories like this, with disasterous results for the idiots that turned some INNOCENT looking something on.


RULE #1 - Read Your SoP / Then follow them / Not the advice of well meaning but foolish other inspectors who don't know any better.

This is worth reposting and ingraining in every inspectors brain. Thanks Dan!

I take threats to my business and reputation seriously. Should you make any remarks regarding my reputation to anyone, I will file a very expensive six figure lawsuit against you personally, your Broker and the real estate company where you have your license activated, for tortuous interference in my business. I will also file the appropriate complaint with the Ethics Committee of your State Board of Realtors. The choice is yours. Any further communications should be sent in writing, certified, return receipt requested."

I like your wording on this Stephen. Hope you don't mind me stealing and tweeking it a little. The bottom feeders do seem to be coming out more and more these days.
