Some real estate dickhead just rang my mobile (which is not advertised anywhere) saying they were “just in the area” and wanted to do an appraisal on a house we own in <suburb name>.

It’s an agency we don’t use for any purpose, have never used for any purpose, and have never approached for any reason.

Is there some sort of legal issue with some smarmy sales knob looking up property owner details and cold calling them?

Makes me feel all gross that their grubby mitts are pawing through my deets somewhere in the hope of being able to stick a tongue up my bum and get a taste of some back door cash.

      I do not find it funny to joke about this sort of shit. People are dying because of people like the OP here and they are whining about cold calls while they deprive people of housing by being a parasitic piece of shit.

      I hope they get many more cold calls in the future. Maybe joke about that instead asshole.

      If you had ever been homeless or close to it you might understand but you and they are displaying some incredible levels of privilege while whining about a minor inconvenience or annoyance while they literally are responsible for people dying by hoarding housing for a profit motive and you and they can kindly go fuck yourselves.

        How do you read any of this and think I’m on the side of the real estate agents or the hoarding of housing?

          Because you are making light of the OP being annoyed at a cold call while millions of people die every year because of a lack of shelter.
