    -Not taking their shoes off before coming in
    -Asking for fee negotiation
    -saying things like "well, it will be tight getting here by your closing but I will try really hard"
    -asking what my late pick up policy is
    -being rude
    -snooping around in parts of my home I did not invite them into during the tour
    -allowing their kids to be unruly or disrespectful while here
    -questioning the terms of the contract
    -saying their child does not nap
    -asking for sibling discount


    That's all I can think of right now but will come back and edit and add more if I think of them.

    I think Judy hit on my two biggest ones.

    People who commute to Toronto and know my closing time (5:30) but then ask if it might be an issue if they sometimes are stuck in traffic or get behind and can't make it until 6. I then tell them that I am very reasonable if there is a blizzard because I don't want them getting in an accident so I will understand and they reply with something like "well...what if it is once a week or two?"

    And I did have a dad come as part of the interview and peer into the bathrooms and around corners. Like ? WTH?

    Also....parents who ask you the nap time and then say that their child needs a special time or longer time than what I just told them
