BeverleyJB, the woman we bought our house from decades ago, was so incensed with dh for negotiating the price down, she took all the screwed in curtain rails down, plus virtually every light bulb out. Even though she knew I’d be moving in on my own with a very young baby, and I’d allowed her to stay 4 days after completion, since her next, bigger house, wasn’t ready.
My solicitor had a pink fit!
She had been in a hurry to move, and knew that dh was working in the Middle East at the time - her reaction to his reasonable enough offer was, ‘You are not in an Arab marketplace now!’ (Pls imagine a German accent.)
He said, ‘Well, take it or leave it.’
She took, and evidently seethed!
