REAL ESTATE AGENTS & TOILET PAPER
Real Estate agents and toilet paper? Yes, hang with me and hopefully I can help you understand this strange analogy! Bear with me as while I explain. (Forgive the puns but couldn't resist!)
As I was contemplating life while "in dispose" so speak, I couldn't help but giggled as I stared over at the toilet paper and had these thoughts: (I seem to do a lot of thinking in this room!)
-
Toilet paper is such a wonderful thing that I am sure we all take for granted. A lot like real estate agents right? We perform a much needed service and if we were all to suddenly disappear, I do believe that we would be missed. Have you ever run out of toilet paper? Nothing else quite compares right?
-
Toilet paper does the job not many of us like to think about. Keeping things clean and tidy! As a real estate agent, don't we do just that? We are the ones who clean up the little messes that crop up keeping things clean and tidy.
-
Toilet paper comes in pretty, wrapped packages yet it is a product that deals with some messy stuff. As an agent we get all dressed up and present ourselves in pretty packages yet for me, I know that I deal with some pretty messy stuff in real estate.
- Finally, toilet paper can either be super efficient and get the job done or it can be cheap and flimsy. A good real estate agent is a great commodity that can be super resilient and gets the job done efficiently!
So yes, real estate agents and toilet paper have a lot in common! We deal with all sorts of interesting situations yet we can wipe up almost any situation! Just had to get that one in! Thanks for having a little fun with me today!

Paula - lol - I just had to find out how we compare to toilet paper! Now, that took some deep thinking:)
well, she did say that she came up with the idea while in the bathroom... ;)
um.. well the title was definitely an eye catcher! and yes I think you have hit the nail on the head!
You guys are "cracking" me up! Oh don't get me started. I must have had way too much coffee this morning! Random thoughts for sure! Thanks for stopping by to read this goofy post! Sometimes we just have to amuse ourselves right? Have a great day all!
Haha...great post, Paula! I guess we really are like toilet paper. :)
Yes Kimm, I prefer to think that I am much more like a two-ply! Strong while getting even the yuckiest jobs done right?
Might I suggest a different room for your deep thinking. I prefer to think of myself as a knife, slicing through the morass of details and complications, or a sifter, seperating the wheat from the chaff, or even an easy chair, able to make everyone comfortable. Toilet paper just reminds me how often we get **** upon. Seriously, time for a change of venue.
This is great - I plan to forward this on - thanks for sharing
Hey Leslie, yes I agree but unfortunately just a part of life. Sometimes I do come up with the strangest musings.
Paula, an agent with a strong work ethic is often a pooped agent! Brian
Please don't squeeze the agent!! A very funny analogy Paula and most agent do get the job done in the end!!
I just remembered I need to stock up on TP for my vacant rental properties....I try to put them in units just before residents move in....
Brister, good one! And Carla - very clever! You guys are funny!
Wallace - what a thoughtful thing for you to do for the tenants. Wow!
The real question I think we all need to look at is, are you a wad-der or a fold-er. Then you can analyze that:)
Could it be said that some agents and some TP is a "lil rough around the edges" sorry couldn't resist
I'd like to think we deal with a much better "product" but I get your analogy.
Love the analogy! My clients are always impressed when I pull the toilet paper out of my purse when I'm out showing so many vacant homes in AZ and the need arises. Aren't we always there in a messy situation?
We sure do have to clean up behind others and we are almost like toilet paper. Congrats on the feature.
Paula - a catchy title and love it! I noticed how Barb takes toilet paper with her on appointments... That is definitely a necessity too!
Paula,
I love the title caught in on the featured page. Congratualtions on the feature and oh so true! Love your humor!
I'm not even going to tell you what came to mind when I read the title. I think I like your comparison better.
I am laughing out loud at Charita. It must have been the same thing that came to my mind. Congratulations on the feature!!
Pau;a Your title wouldn't let me pass up your post. Congrats on the feature and super sense of humor
Oh this one made me laugh...I had to read it just to see how you equated agents with a product that we don't usually discuss in polite company.
Paula, that was priceless! You had me hooked with the title and drew me in with your analogies. Good job!
Paula:
The comparison is a stretch, but very funny. I try not to think about toilet paper and me when I contemplate my job.
Paula, it was hard to imagine how you were going to make an analogy out of toilet paper, but you did an awesome job. There just too many quips I could add to this, but suffice to say, "Good job!"
You know...You're Right lol :)!! Love the analogy and great humor for this evening :)!
Oh my # 31 has me laughing. As far as I am concerned... Only double ply can will work.
Paula - we get compared to many different types of people but I have to say this is a first for me ..... two ply with baby powder works for me strong yet soft and tender
Paula, hmm not sure how I feel about being compared to toilet paper but you are right. We do deal with some messy situations sometimes.
There are no words........!
Hi Paula,
Ben Kinney is another one who admits to doing a lot of thinking while in the loo!
Phil
Morning Ms. Paula love just love your analogy and the sad thing is it is so true. Go visit the room again and come up with another one that will put smiles on peoples faces... :>)
Hi Paula, what an entertaining and thought provoking blog post, will keep me chuckling every time I hear a real estate agent talking about the tough jobs.
I liked that anal-ogy, too. This was a great Friday chuckle. Thanks, Paula.
Paula, loved Carla's #11 Pun...
Anyway, a great agent is going to keep his client out of deep S***!
