I'm a bit bored at work so was flicking through right move....as you do. I'm finding the pictures chosen for listings mind boggling at the moment.

I think that picture 13 here is particularly informative!

Somebody posted an amazingly horrific house listing on here a couple of months ago. There were mannequins everywhere. I wish I’d bookmarked the page.

@WildGeese they won’t be living laughing loving when that sign propped on the headboard falls in the middle of the night and hits them on the head.

Came across one with a suction dildo stuck to the shower floor yesterday, I’ll have a hunt on Rightmove for it later tonight Grin

[quote WildGeese]This one has so many amazing pictures it’s difficult to choose my favourite. The repeated themes of ‘plant’ and ‘reflected in mirror’ are particularly brilliant. But special mention has to go to number 17.

There's even 'plant reflected in mirror' 😀

SpringLoadedJizz · 10/05/2021 18:02

I'm not sure if it's just my phone but a lot of these photos are really dark. Special mention for #18 with the arty bed photo though.

Ugh - you can almost smell all those trainers. And as for the massed armies of Mordor on the chest of drawers Shock

Property 1 has a place to park your car behind the roller door but Street View shows a kerb+ grass botder so that's a nope Hmm

The photos seem to have been taken on a 2001 Nokia by a very drunk person

Not sure if it’s my phone but there all really out of focus too? And why is 13 in black and white? I need to know the colour of that wallpaper!

Quite. The whole thing (especially the invisible fruit bowl and mirrors leaning against walls) just seems like random bits of furniture and plants brought in to ‘dress’ the house for the photos. Was it the owner? Was it an especially keen estate agent? Was it the parrot?!

Amazing Grin

I love the slow build up to photo 45. Plant... plant.. plant...BIG PLANT! Worship him!!!

I know that it is not informative to generalise. It provides no truth or perspective in life. Generalisation can also can be a judgmental trait. For these reasons, and for more so, it is best avoided.

Apart from estate agents. No generalisation about it. They are complete twunts. All of them.

@KittyKatChonky I sent it to a friend, its was so amazing Grin www.zillow.com/homedetails/3695-Primrose-Rd-South-Lake-Tahoe-CA-96150/195374618_zpid/?
JackieTheFart · 10/05/2021 21:00

I'm not going to post it because it's the house I'm currently in the process of buying Grin but lord, the pictures taken by the EA are awful. The hallway carpet looks fluorescent. There are swans, everywhere.

Lovely house and I can't wait to complete but we nearly discounted it on the basis of the work that would be needed!

Looks like Jackson Pollock painted the fence in the first one.
