David, You make me remember years ago when my in-laws were home shopping. We went to a few houses with the realtor along with them and
one had a..... let's just say a non structural pole in the living room.
The best part was only my better half and I realized what it was, the realtor grabbed it and said, "I wonder why this is here?"
When we told him, he and my in laws all became very red....
I imagine if folks wrote tales of their service visits to clients they would have an insane amount of comedic and otherwise to share...
I try to keep laser focused when inside however when folks are asking you to find mr. smallish bat, or mr. slender snake you do
indeed have to do some careful looking that results in seeing things not meant to be seen...
Good topic for some humor!
