Reply to: Is it me, or agents getting more stupid???

I liked it when another agent said it was much easier to get leads off candidates! In other words it is ok to waste our time but not other agents.

I saw that as well. I'd have got the starter for ten right if I was asked to guess the agency too

Good old Regressive, do find it funny when one pimp gets all high handed with another one for daring to try it on with him. Its like Harold Shipman complaining that Charles Manson is coming across all serial killer-ry

Fascinating thread on LinkedIn where an agent has named and shamed another agent who got a developer's CV and put his contact details on it to fish for leads.

That's because you are spending your time on here. Get back on the phones! Those CVs won't email themselves!

[Fronttoback]

No, just the one.

You don't have more houses then?

No, just the one.

Not true, I paid off my mortgage when I was in my 30's..

Look mate, I pay your mortgage. I know how you operate. Don't try your sales pitch here. You're wasting your time, and TIME IS MONEY.

At least I have one, but you in 28,348 comments you have zero.

Maybe Bee is listening to you?

WHS

But it's handy when a film character uses it in a horror film, because then you know they'll die.

And if anyone says "awesome dude", you know they will die horribly!

same as losing your virginity, oh <Deity> AssGuru would survive a horror movie!

It's "Dude" I can't stand. Your not Dennis Hopper or a Surfer or living in SanFranFookingCisco.

Mind you, alarm bells should have rung louder as soon as he called me "buddy"!

It may sound a bit of an eccentric view, but I think there's something weird and slightly creepy when British people call one "buddy". Like "pal", it often seems like a sign of passive aggression at the very least and sometimes outright hostility, although "mate" isn't so bad.
