Lawyers

Who is old enough to remember a great joke from the 90’s about Lawyers

Joke goes like this “What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?”

Answer: A bloody good start.

I offer you the modern version. “What do you call 100 real estate agents at the bottom of the ocean?”

Think you have this from here?

What kind of scumbag sells a forever home to someone who has disabilities advising them falsely on how easy they can access things like I don’t know, a car space, power to a mobility scooter and not tell them of impending costs and increase in fees?

Did I mention we are up for a new lift in 2026? Annoyingly, the lift has been a major annoyance this year, often being out of action for days, sometimes only hours. One particular Friday, I left to go shopping and my phone blew up as the building group chat had so many messages about the lift being out. I had to right leg it up the stairs upon returning from shopping with a carer on her first day with me.

A few strangers, neighbours in the building had come out to help carry my shopping upstairs and for that I was very grateful, but alas, being in a building with only one lift was something that was an afterthought, in the end once I found the right location, number of bedrooms and within a budget, I could cope with.

Thanks dad! Love you, Dad. Don’t hate me because my father loved me.

Here’s a joke for you.

What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

(I sweat this joke is 20 years old and I don’t mean any offense. It’s just a reference for the next joke.)

A: A bloody good start…

Lawyer joke

The 90’s! They were rough right? I think today the joke should be…

Q: What do you call 100 Real Estate Agents at the bottom of the ocean?

mmmmmm….

You get my point now, don’t you?

Looking for a new rental property can be brutal. A tenant seems to give notice and the Real Estate advertises it straight away. I get that it’s their job to keep rent coming in for their landlords, but….

Real Estate

The outgoing tenant hasn’t really looked around at their options. I can’t see it until closer to it being available and then there’s a ten-minute open for inspection, where 15-20 other people are there also.

Smaller apartment

I often email the agent to say, are their any stairs? I can do about four steps with a handrail, that’s my limit.

I have been to see a property, it’s cheaper than what I’m currently paying and smaller and not further away from my comfort zone.

There’s no washing machine taps in the bathroom. There is a shower over a bath. Yes, I did ask. The property is way too small. As I walk out, the property manager is standing there at the bottom of the steps to more flats upstairs and she’s telling everyone as they have a communal laundry up the stairs. Sometimes I think there should be a charge for my time and them wasting it.
