It's one thing to have a messy house , but these people have taken their messiness to the next level. Sometimes, the best way to clean up your home is by inviting someone over. It immediately makes you consider your home from an outsider's perspective. You start to think about what your guests might notice, like crumbs on the table or a streaky mirror. They say you should clean surfaces first, then the bathroom, then the floors, and by that point, you have a pretty clean home to invite your gue…

"Using the legal background of my fiancé, we send a strongly worded letter building on my input. As a result the landlord paid the deposit in full two weeks later and I never heard back of him."

This woman had some questions for a local gardener —if only she had been a little nicer about it. The older I get, the more my respect grows for people who do physical labor. To say it's hard work is an understatement. Have you ever watched a garbage collector work for a minute or two as they toss bag after bag of trash into the truck, and then you realize they do this impressive feat for eight hours straight ? The same goes for landscapers and gardeners. Though some of them use riding mowers,…

These people told the internet all about their worst neighbors . Apparently, it's quite a relatable topic! Numerous people showed off their neighbor's bad parking jobs, passive-aggressive notes, and way-too-bright outdoor lights. Out of all the things neighbors do to annoy us , I think the worst has to be constant noise. Some people have thin walls, so you can hear everything they say, plus every song they play. Other people have dogs who bark all day long while their owners are at work. If you…

Unless you move in together with your best friend, chances are you are going to roll the dice and live with a roommate or two. The dice will spin around a few times until it plops onto a number that makes you gasp in delight, or grumble in despair. This woman got unlucky and found herself being slowly but painfully driven out by her roommates who were planning to kick her out. Once she caught a whiff of that, she realized she had to comply with her lease, and the quicker the better. So she set…

HOAs are determined to keep their neighborhoods looking pristine , no matter what. If you happen to live a neighborhood rules by a home owner's association, you don't always have a lot of choice about how to keep your home. For example, you might want to paint your home a nice warm yellow color, but lots of HOAs have a strict color palette you need to choose from. So the HOA could easily reject your request , and insist you paint your place a boring gray color instead.

Would designers really build a house that no one could enter ? The internet was wondering that very question about one house in particular. This home is located in Florida, home of all things quirky and kooky. It's a beautiful home, and it's conveniently raised up on stilts (since, you know, Florida floods constantly). However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the listing doesn't seem to include a set of stairs into the home. The listing, posted by @ZillowGoneWild, notes that you have to climb t…

What HOA wants, HOA will get. When they pick a fight with this family, they're going to get much more of a hassle than they ever anticipated. Parents can sense something in the air as summer is coming to a close, and they instinctually realize: It's time to make the kids clean out the garage with me. Why do parents have this instinct? Science has not given us the answer yet. Maybe they realize that school is about to be back in session, and their kids have had a lot of fun already this summer.…

'The apple doesn't fall from the tree' does not only apply to family situations but also to friends. People say that if you look at a person's friends, you'll know who they are, but that isn't always the case. See, even when you are lucky enough to land a house with good neighbors, their guests aren't always so polite. In this case, u/cycloscott dealt with the usual, run-of-the-mill Karen, after finding his entire driveway blocked thanks to her and her husband parking their car on it. OP approa…

We've all had those days when we daydream about the perfect home.

The thing about rooms is that nothing feels wrong with one until something totally is. We've all seen enough bathtubs to know that they shouldn't be carpeted, and a kitchen that's designed to only fit a backwards oven is somehow anxiety inducing. Also what's the deal with people putting bathtubs and Jacuzzis on display in a main living area? What was going on in there? Here are some more rooms with bad vibes.

Everyone has a different idea of "normal."

"The hog really ties the room together."
