What's your funny or weird story about a property viewing?

I love these anecdote-based Q&As on this sub. What's a weird, funny or somehow otherwise notable experience you've had when viewing a property (to rent or to buy) or when you are the person whose property is being visited by prospective takers? Weird agents? Weird prospective buyers/sellers? Bizarre requests/criticisms/needs? Strange items left visible? Mine is probably fairly tame - I once visited a rental where the outgoing tenant had printed and framed dozens of his payslips and hung them up on the wall.
