Jane was so inconsiderate.

I agree with both of you, kinda makes you wish that Beetlejuice had scared her like he did the Deetzes. I would have loved to see a confrontation between those two.

That could have worked. After the car crashes into the water, the camera pans over to the dog who runs up to a set of women's shoes, which pans up to show Jane. She picks up the dog and begins petty him. "Good boy...Good boy."

Well technically, Jane isn't the good guy or the bad guy; she's just neutral and we need her to introduce the Deetzes into the movie.....that's the whole reason why she's in the movie. Did she sell their home too soon is the question. Maybe. Not too clear on how long Barbara and Adam were in there home alone as ghosts maybe three days; but time runs different for the living and the dead in this world; which is why Adam disappeared for three hours just walking onto his own front porch; on the other other hand, she does need to eat and has a child to support; near as we can see she's a single mother and people cringe that her daughter will grow to be just like her. Does her behavior explain why she had to raise the child alone and why her husband left? Probably; or it could have been a one-night stand, or widowed it's not important or explained; all we know about her daughter is raised to be just like her or a similar personality to Lydia Deetze. She and her child do not appear again in the movie after they give Lydia the skeleton key which Lydia has every right to have because it's a key for her own house! Besides some of you ought to get a grip; since when she sold the Maitland's house Barbara and Adam both were already dead and when you're dead you can't take it with you, and a house can't just stay vacant because the owners died, so it would have been sold anyways and y'all would be mad at another real estate agent.
