horrific things about your home

There is a dog next door that literally spends it's days howling and barking

We live near a Jehovah's witness cult, can get noisy sometimes


:ohmy:

I'm not joking, that's really what I was going to post as well. Creepy.


You mean a Kingdom Hall, by the way. They don't run witch covens.

We have a neighbor from Indonesia that screams at her very old and deteriorating husband all of the time. I supposed it has died down recently, but it was pretty damn bad. Not to mention she's creepy as hell. She'll watch us when we're in the backyard, while we're walking down the street. She also is obsessive with cleaning, she'll pick up pebbles that she deems unsuitable for her driveway, and sweeps the trees. One more thing, she has ridiculous decorations that involve putting on flower pot upside down, and then adding another right-side up on top of it with flowers. And then she puts them all over the place on her yard. I suppose that isn't actually a bad thing though, because it's somewhat funny.

-Paper-thin walls
-[censored] location (gang activity and such)
-One of my neighbors liked to poison cats (has been evicted)
-Sodium lamp across the street; shines right through my bedroom window
-It is ALWAYS COLD, thanks to the lousy heating
-The landlords can never be reached
-Bar nearby, so there is a steady influx of noisy drunks

Advantages:

-Awesome roommate
-Cheap as hell.

This is probably an overriding factor in San Francisco (more so than most cities).

Endless amounts of spider webs. No matter how many times we dust they come back. Spiders are no where to be found either...

My next door neighbor is the whiniest man on this polluted earth.

-He once showed up telling us (not asking us) not to let our dogs out before 7am because it woke up their precious widdle grandson. Of course, he brought his wife as backup :violin:

-When mom was having a backyard fence put up, he came up and started a fuss about how it was going to be over the property line (It wasn't). He then preceded to start pulling up the stakes the contractor had left to mark the perimeter.

-He's a complete Homeowner's Association nazi, always bugging people to cut their grass

-A neighbor once purchased a riding lawnmower. Somehow, the thing was accidentally turned on, and cut a swath down Mr. Whiner's lawn. While I agree that it's something to get mad about, he threatened to call the police and sue him. It's freaking grass.

My room smells of grave dirt. My parent's room has peeling floral wallpaper. There's so many different species of fungi in our bathroom it's like a pathology zoo.

The carpets have spots that I'm pretty sure are the visual equivalent to the music of Eric Zann.

And ever since my dad's moved into the basemant, the smell of grave dirt in my room has become comfortable.

An ice dam
Factured foundation
Need a new roof
Hot water heaters that need to be replaced every other year. (can't get the annodes out fo rreplacement)
Bad garage drainage which if I don't sweep it out would drain into the basment
Dead oak trees that need to come down, or Mother nature will put them our bedrooms
And on a not so terrible front, one of the darn "eye" on the auto garage door has gone wonky so now its back to manual


NOthing too band, others have it worse. We at least have a roof over our head and heat.

Whenever people see my room, they seem creeped out by my art that I have displayed all over. Other than that, we have a lake across from my house that might flood our basemant, and I'm hoping that won't happen.

I once went down into the basemant of my parents' house, and discovered what looked like massive patches of black hair growing out of the floor.
I think I may have screamed. >.>

Turns out it was a type of fungus, but considering the tufts were like four inches high, and about the same width...
Yeah. I'm still afraid to go down there. ;3;

You know, I decided the grave dirt smell in my room isn't so bad. It's a very earthy smell (that's why I call it grave dirt even if I've never smelled the dirt of a grave) so it's relatively neutral (still a little icky and reminiscent of death) but also very powerful. It'll neutralize a lot of horrible smells like vomit in an instant.

1. I'm pretty certain rats are in the floor. You can hear 'em in the basemant. pretty sure their only in the floor though. No wandering on the floors.

2. Literally nothing to do in this particular suburb. Gotta take a 20-min drive at least to get to something interesting.

3. Japanese stink bugs. Evil, horrid things, that can [censored] fly! Why on earth can they fly? Their bad enough just walking around!

4. Our traffic is terrible. How terrible? A new study indiciates we have the worst traffic in the United States of America for time spent in traffic. Ten hours, in a car, at night, while it's snowing, trying to get the beltway is not fun.

The fact that my turret is currently leaning rather noticeably and that I have cracks running all up through the walls due to the recent earthquake and aftershocks.

From what I've been told by a retired gravedigger, the stench from grave dirt is enough to make you vomit.

Not all the plugs in the house are grounded :cold:


NONE of the plugs in the house are grounded (except the ones in kitchen and bathroom). And there not nearly enough of them (the building was built in the 60s). I have four in this room, and i 've had to use two four-way splitters and two-two way splitters to get enough sockets for every device :swear:

And there's a neighbour that just keeps on drilling something, though this an old building with real stone wall, insulates sound quite effeciently. He's at it again, excuse me for a moment...

My neighbors are in there 70s so no complaints there.
I do live on the main road in town so that gets a tad annoying.
There's also the occasional drunk in the convenient store parking lot across the street.
A wall and cabinet in my kitchen are scorched black from a fire. (But that fire was my brothers fault not the previous owners)

So theres not much to complain about if anything Im the neighborhood best with my screaming at the tv during football season and my loud dogs.

I have small patches of black mold on the innermost wall of my bathroom in a tiny corner, I regularly clean it with bleach and make sure there's no moisture there, but still a pain in the ass.

My neighboor below me has a tiny dog that barks continously throughout the morning and day, almost every single day, she's from Bosnia as far as I am aware and everytime she cooks it reeks of food in the entire appartment complex.

Two of the largest windows in my appartment are like paper thin, and every winter so far it literally oozes coldth from them, to the point where it forms rime and water bubbles on my inside windowsill, my landlord said he was going to replace them the summer after I moved in and didn't.

My bathroom is so tiny there's no room for a washer, so I have to go to the gym next door (which my landlord owns) if I want to clean my clothes, to be fair at least I get a free gym membership for as long as I live here which is nice.

what are somethings about your home that horrifies you
i live in a duplex and my neighbors have fun a lot
the worst part?
there 85


Should be outlawed! :P

I will murder my neighbours one day. They sing and play loud music EVERY [censored] DAY. Worst thing about this?

It's the exact same song on repeat every day for the past year. Some year and a half ago it was a different song which was on repeat every day.

I've just noticed that she's practising for the Eurovision song for Malta. If she wins, we'll be seeing her in the Eurovision. :(

Neighbours' annoying dog won't stop barking. Annoying noises outside my window. Live right under landing flightpath for nearby airport so that can be annoying. But apart from that, not much.
