It was a cold January day with fluffy white snowfall. All the city streets were lined with huge snow piles. I had a retired Montreal couple arriving in town to view waterfront, back lake homes. They arrived around 11:00 AM and the wife called me to say that they had a sensitive problem. Her husband had problematic diarrhoea and was very concerned about a country tour! We agreed to reassess the situation in a few hours. Around 1:00 she called me to say that he was “tentatively ok” and they were anxious to go on the tour. The snow fall was heavy as we were travelling down a city street near a local high school. As i approached an intersection, one of those “tricked out teenagers cars” came speeding through the intersection in front of us. It barely missed the front of my car and now i am in the middle of the intersection. The first vehicle was being followed by a second similar vehicle …. they had obviously been racing each other …. however this vehicle was going to broad side my car. In a split second i decided that applying the brakes was futile, so i pushed the gas pedal to the floor. My car accelerated through the intersection taking out a huge snow pile against the light standard. All the while i was waiting for the impact on the side of the car, which did not happen, as we proceeded down the street. The 2nd racing vehicle missed the back of the car by inches! I casually looked in the rear view mirror and my lady Buyer’s eyes were as wide as saucers. I asked her if she was fine and she stuttered yes. Her husband looked at me and said …. “William we don’t have to worry about my diarrhoea any more …. my ass is so puckered i won’t s#*t for a week!”
Haha! Oh wow. Yet one more service your realtor should offer!
That’s a really funny story! You’ve made light of a difficult situation, but I imagine it was quite stressful at the moment. You seem to have handled yourself like a true professional, just like any agent should.
LOL it was funny though!!
LOL! What a story, that definitely made me bust out laughing, and hard, too! I thought I’ve heard everything, but this was great!
LOL it was truly unique!!!!
This had me laughing over the floor! Hahahha
ROTF! Yeeesssss!! Now THAT’s customer service at it’s finest! I bet your clients and their children will be telling that story for years to come. lol. I know I will.
You were really blessed or lucky, to have not been clobbered by that second car. Whee! That is one of the funniest endings, I have ever heard. Although I was thinking the husband was going to need to change his clothing. “o) Thanks for sharing.
That is both a nerve-wracking and hilarious story! What a scary situation to be in, but ends in such a humorous manner.
Thank god that you are such an experienced driver.
I don´t even wan to think about what could have happened.
One of the best things I love about being a realtor is the diversity of experiences I could get. I’m sure you won’t get to experience it in other industries.
That was a hilarious story. Also frightening! You are truly a professional to be able to hold your composure. The situation was probably very stressful. Vehicle accidents are serious and costly. At least you know that these two will be your clients forever. You all have a special bond between each other. One that none of you will ever forget lol.
