Yellow letter call from a celebrity... who yelled at me :)

I just had to share this, pretty funny. Goes to show you never know who you're going to find. I live in Columbus and got a call today off a yellow letter from a former OSU football player who also played in the NFL for 8 years. He didn't even let me talk he just said "Is this John, this is (insert celebrity) and I'm not selling my damn house so quit bugging me, unless you want to pay half a million for it" CLICK.

So pretty funny because I sent a single letter, and he called me from an unknown number 5 or 6 times before I finally answered because he wouldn't leave a message. So who is really bugging who here???

My letter says "... I pay cash and can close quickly, if you are interested, please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx". So many people ignore the "if you are interested" part.

I find it amazing that people get multiple pieces of junk mail every day that they toss without opening, and they don't feel the need to call up Chase or Capital One or Trugreen every time they get a letter to tell them to screw off???

Anyhow, just got a kick out of it, wanted to share. If you are starting out certainly don't get discouraged by this, there are always going to be haters!
