RE: Jack bitching about the showing…
It’s clear that it doesn’t occur to him that (very frequently) people might immediately realize that the dwelling doesn’t meet their expectations once they see it in person, and they might not want to waste more time. Ads can be deceiving that way- it’s a general rule of thumb that people might love what they see in an ad, but find the real thing to have all sorts of negatives that couldn’t be gleaned from the ad itself.
A parallel that even Jack could understand is the example of the food item you see in an ad being vastly different from what you get when you actually order it. Listen here, Fatty, people showing up to see your house in no way indicates any sort of commitment, and they owe you nothing (outside of showing basic respect to your space in which they’re guests). He seems to think that, as a condition to people coming in for showings, that they have some sort of
obligation to buy the house (or at least make an offer).
If he’s this level of braindead as to the process, it tells me that he contributed nothing during the move-to-TN saga. After all, they simply lived in the stepdad’s property during the Buena Park era. So moving to Hendersonville was the first time those two honestly looked for a house of their own. Tammy absolutely did all the work, as Jack’s demonstrated illiteracy on buying/selling real estate leaves no other conclusion than him dumping all the work on his wife and expecting instant satisfaction.
Buying a house is a significant undertaking, and there are many things (besides lots of money) at stake that require consideration. It is nowhere near as simple as buying a Smokin’ Triple Stack Sub from Firehouse, and yet Jack thinks it is. What a howling, diaper-shitting infant.
I would legit bid $500 to see a pair of wild turkeys or a gaggle of geese relentlessly attack Jagoff when he was alone at the park
The cherry on top would be them leaving him in the same shape as that farmer in
The Birds (1963).
