HUMOR
I Forgot to Tell the Buyers About the Mystery Pooper at My Mom’s House
It’s probably just a bear with IBS.
When you sell a house in the United States, the law usually requires you to disclose any defects or problems with the property using a Residential Property Disclosure Form like this one.
It asks whether you, the seller, are aware of any material defects like a cracked foundation, a leaky roof, or asbestos in the drywall.
It asks if the property is in a flood plain, or if you’re involved in a boundary dispute with your neighbors.
It asks if you’re presently committing any zoning violations, if the house is a historical landmark, or if you’re aware of any radon gas in the basement that will slowly kill the occupants.
It does NOT ask if a werewolf is shitting on the deck at night.
My mom kept the back few acres of her property mowed for a long time, and then, eventually, she gave up and let it return to its wild state.
The result is an impenetrable wall of saplings and tall grass that starts a few yards from the back deck.
Anything could be in there. Anything. A bear could’ve ambled out onto the lawn and I wouldn’t…
