A guy and his wife who were in their 60's came and looked out my house/property today. They were looking in the house and things were going ok.
We got outside and were in the yard before we got to the pasture and the guy just kinda freaked out and shut down and went and sat in the car. I was like if you aren't interested you could just say I'm not interested.
His wife says he has some freaky form of OCD that if the yard isn't mowed in a certain pattern he freaks out and shuts down for a while.
How do people make a living like that? I assume at some point he worked because he obviously had money. I told his wife if he was really interested I would remow the yard but she said no thanks.
Odd.

No he just kinda stopped talking and went and sat in the car while his wife kept talking then she got in the car and drove off.

A strange happening, I'd shrug it off and hope for a better showing next time.

If they show up again,......GET NAKED ,...and put a lampshade on your head, ....or something.
Don't do anything TO unusual though,...they might not be able to handle it.

Tell his wife to check their water supply.
Better check under his fingernails for paint chips, too.
Mercury fillings?
Hell, I dunno.

I'll admit to having OCD, just not on that level, wife loves it. I cannot stand my food to touch, unless it is like a stew or chili. I will always eat broken chips before I eat unbroken chips. My loving wife usually waits till I get all the unbroken chips eaten, then she has to take and break up the rest of the chips, something about the horrified look I get on my face.
Back in the heartland, Thank God!
