So. Many. Sockets.

I was all ready to say WRONG.

But look at all those sockets...

Im guessing the owner is an electrician

GoldLeafTree · 03/11/2019 21:19

I saw this on Twitter the other day. It's hilarious but I NEED answers. So many questions.

FusionChefGeoff · 03/11/2019 21:20

Oh. my. God.

It's in every fucking room?!?!!!!!

If it were just 1 room you could think maybe they had some kind of tech heavy work / hobby but WHY put them everywhere??

And the sort of electrical shrine panel on one wall in every room too?

God that's odd

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 03/11/2019 21:20

Wtf?! Is that even safe?

picklemepopcorn · 03/11/2019 21:21

The spots everywhere don't help. Makes every room look...well...spotty.

Monkeychunkyfunky · 03/11/2019 21:21

Wow that is a lot of sockets. I have hardly any in my house so I thought you couldn't have too many sockets. Turns out you can. So expensive too.

Faircastle · 03/11/2019 21:21

What were they doing in there?

OlderthenYoungerNow · 03/11/2019 21:21

What. The. Fuck.

picklemepopcorn · 03/11/2019 21:21

I guess 1.3m gets you a lot of electrical wire.

I was going to say indoor horticulturalist.

Buyer needs to check they’re not wired into next doors supply. Or the street lamps.

DrewandJonathan · 03/11/2019 21:23

After a tough day this made me smile 😊

Thanks for sharing - we need someone to volunteer to call up and ask the estate agents about the sockets!

Ohyesiam · 03/11/2019 21:24

What a bland house for all that money.

It’s the police they need to be speaking too...

Can you imagine living there even furnished they are just every where. So odd. It would cost money to cover them up!

Yes, I do wonder whether it was one of those houses that gave out a huge heat signature while they were running their home business.

user1498572889 · 03/11/2019 21:25

I just showed this to my husband. He thought it was great “you can never have too many sockets” 😂😂

neddle · 03/11/2019 21:28

Surprised there’s none in any of the bathrooms.

MeClavdivs · 03/11/2019 21:28

I’m so confused. Converted office building?

Do you seriously think it was used for a grow operation Shock Wouldn’t they try to hide it??

Stayawayfromitsmouth · 03/11/2019 21:31

So many questions...and sockets. What on earth? Are they decorative? Brain has exploded.

Faircastle · 03/11/2019 21:35

It's also located conveniently close to the NATO base...

PavlovaFaith · 03/11/2019 21:37

There's also such a thing as too many spotlights - arghhhh blinded!!

Dizzywizz · 03/11/2019 21:38

How can we find out the reason??

SimpleAndPlanned · 03/11/2019 21:38

Even in an office that would be so so many sockets. Wtf.

squee123 · 03/11/2019 21:38

surely not a cannabis farm. The flooring wouldn't be practical
