I saw a CoStar employee today and this is what happened
This is a shitpost but I thought it was funny.  I was driving down a popular retail corridor in my city and saw a CoStar Tesla at the intersection.  I stopped my car in the intersection and flipped the bird at this guy.  A few minutes pass and I turn right onto a major thoroughfare.  Next thing I know the CoStar Tesla is tailgating my ass (with his phone out lol).  He then gets next to me at a red light and I roll down the window.  "Why did you flip me off?!?"

"Because you work for CoStar"

"I know CoStar fucking sucks and I hate my job but you don't have to flip me off"

"You're right I'm sorry man"
