Anyone else got any amusing stories of hidden vendors?
We went round a house recently that turned out not to be for us, but I believe in doing a viewing properly and wanted to investigate all the storage space, etc. Went into the garden, threw open the garage/shed doors - and the vendor was sitting in a deckchair, in the pitch dark, with his dog, blinking a bit into the sunlight! He said he liked to stay out of the way during viewings... Um, like taking the dog for a walk, perhaps? I said 'Oh. Ok. Sorry', closed the doors and then had to run down to the end of the garden so he wouldn't hear me laughing!
Has this happened to anyone else? I don't think he was hidden away in order to eavesdrop on us, I think he genuinely wanted to keep out of the way but didn't want to go out!
