What is your best horror story

[StephHigdem]

OK, I'ld have to say Queen City Gurl wins this one...

Uff Da!

But I have to say, you have got some ovaries! I don't think I could have got back on the horse that quick.

 

[Wendy]

Yep, Queen City Gurl just took the cake. Ugh.

 

[RSW]

My hat's off to Queen City Gurl. No one can beat that one!

 

[Kristina Ledesma]

Agreed! I hope to NEVER come close to having an experience that bad!! Though every time I walk into a vacant house that stinks I am going to look at closets in a different light!

 

[Queen City Gurl]

LOL... well I definitely lost some of my big ovaries that day. Whenever I go to a foreclosure and I open the door and it has not been trashed out yet, or worse, also has rotted food decomp smell....... I do NOT want to be in that house ! I remain skittish to this day, and literally brace myself to open the closets. It really does stay with you.

In all these years I had never cancelled an appt for the weather...( not including scheduling around big storms) now it's kind of a joke amongst family and friends that rain, nor sleet nor dead bodies will stop me from completing that appraisal assignment !

I think maybe, they have a little too good of a time with it !!

I think Queen City Gurl's story deserves the upchuck award.

Honeybees,Wasps & Other fragrances

A wasp got me this year, first time in many years...puffed up like a marshmallow. They were building a nest in my hose holder. We have some tiny little bees that look just like a bumble bee but about 1/3rd the size. They seem to be mild mannered too.

==============
Better a wasp than a bald faced hornet.
That must have been a vacation home with 3 month of rotten/fragrant elk meat

I woke up one night screaming - I had a dream that I was a Zaio zone owner, I was several months behind on updating my zones, it was time to take all 10,000 photos again, and all I had gotten from Zaio in the last three months was one AMC assignment. And I had bought Zaio stock at $4.00 per share with my retirement account.

Man, did I ever feel good when I woke up. :new_squarecycle:

Worse dream--dreamt I was a CR in California in this current market!!!! The horror!!!

Worse dream--dreamt I was a CR in California in this current market!!!! The horror!!!

I can see how that would be horrible for you, PP. Updating your zone in a tanking market?!? How would one keep up with the changing rate of decline? WOW, it would be a stretch to assume all those REOs were in average to good condition from the street, but I guess you must be comfortable with plunging into the unknown. I mean, climbing those beanstocks you must get pretty high up there.:Eyecrazy:

My 1st HUD foreclosure, maybe 30 years ago, was boarded up. Went in, checked out the pitch black 1st floor & thought something wasn't right when I opened the basement door & could see some light. Called out if anyone was there - no answer. Go down and after going through a small room I go into a larger room, unfinished with at least 25 addicts on the floor all around the perimeter apparently in neverland. Almost jumped through my skin to turn around & run up the stairs & out (that was when I could still run) Then called 911 and waited for a officer to clear it out so I could finish. That taught me to always check the security of the boards all around before going in...

Crazy! I had the same thing happen to me in Los Angeles. Inspecting a REO apartment bldg and doing the walk through with the Broker and when we get into one of the units, we hear a bunch of whispering. I asked if there was anybody living here and he said no. I cracked the door open to find a group of about 10-12 people in a room smoking crack. I have never seen so many people file out one window in my life.

Most embarrasing was when I went out to the subject (Triplex) to meet the tenants and I inspected the entire property and woke up all three apts taking pictures and measurements. I asked each unit who the owner left the payment with and nobody knew anything and even why I was there. So I called the owner and he said that he left a check and would call to find out. He called me back 2 minutes later saying that the whole building is waiting for me. I was puzzed and looked at the address again and it was 100 W instead of 100 E which was the next building across the street with people outside looking down the street. Doh....
