The house we bought sat on the market for almost nine months. The previous owners listed it themselves, and originally priced it way too high. They got a realtor, dropped the price by $50k, but left the entire house painted butter yellow which I'm convinced turned off buyers.
We repainted it and it was shocking how much of a difference it made. You'd think they would at least try fairly basic stuff like that when the house wasn't selling.

Must...resist...lawyer...crack.
Oh that’s just a setback from the window, totally normal. The original cabinets were actually very nice quality for being 60 years old. I think they may have been made on site.
Oh, I’ll do it for you. All lawyers are lying pieces of ****, so the answer is they are, literally, never good.
As a lawyer, he is right. It's also amazing the type of people that rail against lawyers and our supposedly overly litigious society, yet are often the first to immediately want to sue over fairly trivial things.My mentor, may his name be a blessing, was actually a nationally known and recognized attorney in his field of practice. He had a saying that went along the lines of, "All lawyers are pains **********...until you need one.

Fair point. We lawyers are also cursed with the clients who are often totally unappreciative of what we've done for them. I've heard, "You charged me way too much. Anyone could have won this with the facts that I had!" People also have absolutely no qualms stiffing their lawyer on the bill because most lawyers won't sue a client (I have) or are afraid of a Bar complaint, even if it's frivolous.I find there's a saying like that for many professions. For instance when people are complaining about the price of their CPA, there's the old saw, "The most expensive accounting is bad accounting."
I just chalk it up to society generally disliking professions with specialized knowledge that are needed to keep society rolling yet don't produce anything tangible.
Agreed. There are a lot of lawyers for whom their job is how they identify or define themselves. It's exhausting. Everything doesn't have to be an argument. I am also married to another lawyer, but thankfully neither of us has any interest in the other's area, and we're both very good about leaving work at the office.I'm a lawyer and deal with lawyers and non-lawyers pretty equally. It is so much more pleasant dealing with the non-lawyers. Lawyers have an amazing ability to just make things more difficult, contentious, and complicated than necessary. I am including myself in this. Doesn't make them useless, but they really are annoying.
