Stuff in People's Houses

We've been looking for a house to buy, and while poking around in people's homes, you find a lot of weird stuff. Like this maybe-dentist's chair in a basement. What was going on down there? They also left a tanning bed and treadmill stored in the garage, and a pair of strappy silver high heels by the door. Just in case!



What about this 1/2 lizesize white tiger, inexplicably hidden in a basement? If you go to the trouble of locating, buying, and transporting 1/2 lifesize white tiger to your house, I think you should display it proudly!



And this whole house looked like this: a huge mess of stuff everywhere. How do they think they'll ever sell this place when it's so full of mess? There was a VCR in the master bathtub.



Many of the houses we've looked at are only a few years old, but they look like a bunch of destructive teenage boys took out all their angst on the walls and their urine on the carpets for a decade. It's been really surprising to see how badly people treat their property!

We actually pretty much liked one house, but completely walked away when we went outside and the next door neighbor's bad dogs barked incessantly (stirring up ALL the dogs in the whole neighborhood, too). Fuck that. We do not like to listen to bad dogs barking non-stop (or even some-stop).

I'll keep you posted on our adventures in househunting.
