German Class Cheater
During our office sales meeting a couple of weeks ago I was discussing agents in my community that are posting their new soon-to-be-listed properties on ZILLOW, TRULIA, and FACEBOOK. Our mls rules require that listings be posted immediately in our mls and they do not recognize anything like a future listing. The point of having an mls system is to share information and to provide an even platform among agents.
I then recounted an incident in my German class in 1964. We were taking a test and the girl who sat in front of me took out a crib sheet to answer some of the questions. She reached down toward her right foot and pulled a piece of paper up to her desk. She looked toward the teacher who was reading a book or something. Realizing she would go unnoticed, she cheated. I know a lot of people cheated in high school. This incident occurred more than fifty years ago and you'd think I wouldn't remember one person out of the many that I know who cheated in school. But I remember it clearly because she was a member of National Honor Society.
I took my time leaving class. I went up to talk to the teacher. I told her that I saw someone cheat, but did not say who. I told her it wasn't fair that people cheat to get good grades. I don't know if I was making excuses about myself for not being a better student or that I was blaming the teacher for not watching the students better so that they could not cheat. I knew I didn't cheat, and I got mad when others got better grades by doing so.
Added December 3, 2020. A lot of people cheat. That's the problem. It is pervasive.

And you wonder why people don’t trust realtors....
You can only believe someone's words about half the time. However, you can ALWAYS believe their actions. When you see someone cheat, bully, or do something evil, you never, ever forget it. That's true whether it happened yesterday, last month, or 56 years ago. Mind what you say, but much more importantly, mind what you do!
Never have truer words every been typed.
"Never have truer words ever been typed" was in response to the first comment NOT the second one. Feel like that's important to clarify.
Realtors, used car sales, plumbers, A/C people all the same. Looking for money. Dress it up, slice it up, same o, same o.
