Leave it to @thebrokeagent to capture the weirdness in an all-too-relatable post, gaining hundreds of comments from agents.

Agents, we definitely recommend using other people’s content for inspiration—it’s an easy hack to create more of your own content.

The post was immediately flooded with comments and emojis relating to the accuracy. Although, some did take offense to the TikTok remark.
