    I was glad to pay the 2% commission so that all I had to do was tell them I had my late grandmothers apartment for sale, and then roughly a month later get a buy offer to sign.

      You’re exactly the mark that job exists to exploit.

        I could have gotten access to all the required apartment paperwork, cleaned and taken the photos, written up an advertisement, answered the calls & emails, set up the showings, negotiated with people, figured out the bank paper work, and finalized the sale all by myself.
        Just like I could have cooked instead of ordering food someone else made for me, or not have my new washing machine delivered, carried inside and installed, and instead spend an evening doing it all myself.

        But I’d really rather not, I’ll pay someone else to do those things, and spend my time doing something I actually find fun. But yeah, I guess they are all exploiting my laziness and unwillingness to do these things myself.

          That’s a really long and self righteous way to tell me you don’t understand what they’re actually doing “for you”.

            By that very same logic… You have no fucking idea what people do for you so you can have food to exist. Cause holy fuck are they exploiting people and the environment.

            But you don’t care. Your goanna keep buying your soy, beans, rice, meat and fish. Like nothing is happen.

            You should boycott the entire farming industry. Then we know you actually give a fuck and stand by the words your saying. What’s that you won’t? Because you don’t?

            That’s right your just saying shit to make that guy feel bad but don’t practice what you preach at all
