Home, the sacred space where we seek solace, relaxation, and a respite from the chaos of the outside world. It’s where we create memories, find comfort, and build our lives. However, as much as we cherish our homes, they sometimes have a knack for testing our patience. From quirky design choices to malfunctioning appliances, we’ve all experienced those infuriating aspects of our living spaces that make us want to tear our hair out.
In this post we’re letting folks vent about these things in their homes that make them irate. I hope it proves to be as cathartic for you as it was for me. God damn, that door handle in the belt loop makes me want to scream every time.
1. I feel like this happens to me more often than it should.
2. House sitting for uncle. Reached the final boss of the game “unfamiliar shower controls”
3. Turns out my “thermostat” is actually just hanging on a nail and doesn’t control the temperature whatsoever. Shout out to the best landlords ever.
4. Sitting under this “vent” all summer wondering why I wasn’t getting any cooler….
5. The image speaks for itself.
6. I’m doing renovations and my Roomba found a tiny piece of sheetrock.
7.
8. My father forgot to tell me the renovations would be taking the stairs out today.
9. Somehow, I managed to go 5 blissfully ignorant stair-traversing years without noticing.
10.
11. The cable guy installed the cable through our hula hoop that we left out.
12. How stupid can you be?
13. Woke up and saw my door removed by my parents. I asked them “why?” And the replied with “privacy isn’t necessary”
14. After 8 hours of class everyone comes back to the dorm only to find new locks and finger scanners on the doors and none of the staff know the codes or how we can get into our rooms :/
18. The door I had to get through last night to get to my room.
19. This.
20. You guys hate carpet in the bathroom? I can one up that. My parents have a bathroom with carpet that goes up the bathtub walls! Bonus points for the terrible wallpaper.
21. Removing a cheap mirror glued to the wall, only to find an even cheaper mirror glued to the wall beneath it.
22. These lights switches in my parents’ house.
23. My family is a bunch of psychos.
24. To the person with 3/4 outlet. I present my apartments 1/3 outlet.
25. So I just bought this chair and none of the reviews mentioned this.. 😩
26. The sun has travelled roughly 150,000,000 Kilometers to reflect off a car windshield through a small crack in my blinds to shine directly in my face.
27. I live with two grown men. Just tell me why.
28. A lovely paint job.
29. Sunlight through the window melted my keyboard.
30. All three of these lights are off.
31. My brother’s girlfriend moved in with us, and she refuses to use cutting boards. This is what our kitchen table looks like now. They’re all over it.
32. I think my stairs fit here.
33. Woke up this morning to my light full of water. Our apartment is brand new.
34. I am forced to look at this every time I get up.
