Sir you are a blooming idiot, please just stop talking to me.

Sir you are a blooming idiot, please just stop talking to me. One way to get people to read your post is to use a catchy title. Since you're reading this I can only assume that it worked. 3 months ago I performed an inspection for a young man that made me fell very uncomfortable. I couldn't put my finger on why he made me feel that way, he just did.

At the end of my inspection I did what I usually do. I went over everything with him and asked if he had any questions. His only question was "how soon he would have the report"? I responded that reports are usually generated and delivered by the end of the day. With that we shook hands and went our separate ways. Something was still bothering me about this young man. I delivered his report to both him and his agent via email by the end of the day as promised. Never having heard anything back from anyone I assumed everything was said and done.

Recently I get a call. The gentleman on the other end of the line is furious with me. He's threatening to sue me, the seller, his Realtor, the sellers Realtor. You name it, if they had anything to so with his purchase they were going to be sued. After getting him to calm down I asked him for his name and the address to property and ask him to allow me a few minutes to pull up his report.

Now I remember this is that same young man that made me feel uncomfortable during the inspection. I offer to assist him in resolving what ever is wrong but he needs to remain calm and explain the problem. He tells me he just moved into his house and has no hot water. He called a plumber and the plumber told him he doesn't have a water heater installed and his pipes are damaged and or missing. How could the seller sell him a house without a water system? How could his Realtor let him buy a? house with such a defect? How could I, a professional home inspector miss such a huge defect?

I asked him to please turn to page 12 of his report and referred him to the section under?water heater(s). I point out the picture of his heater. I asked him to please read the paragraph in front of the picture. 5 minutes pass and not a word. Guess someone's feeling awkward now. Then he breaks his silence and says: "Well I didn't realize this meant I wouldn't have hot water.

I'm shocked, confused, amused and slightly annoyed.? You didn't realize that meant you wouldn't have hot water? You didn't have hot water when we did the inspection! You didn't have running water when we did the inspection! I told you we couldn't inspect the plumbing because the heater was disconnected, the water pipes were damaged and missing in spots, and that there was no water running to the house! I advised you to get a quote from 3 plumbers and to give those quotes to your agent so he could properly negotiate on your behalf! I asked him if he had done any of those things? He said he had not.

Unbelievable! I wanted to say: " Sir you are a blooming idiot, please just stop talking to me", but in the end I chose to wish him good luck.?
