Fuck this fucking house

DH and I bought a beautiful old cottage 1.5yrs ago, have been blissfully happy since we moved in. Everyone comments on what a lovely place it is, we love rurally, in a gorgeous AONB.

Now to get the point. I am the least woo person you will meet, but even I was a bit WTF when DH made his first trip up in the loft and then came back and showed me this.. taken from an old door stored up there. Do let me have your thoughts, woo and non woo!

Basically, you're fucked!

Non woo: previous resident fed up cleaning a dusty old house.

Woo: previous resident unhappy with your efforts to decorate so far Grin

Not woo, just someone before you moved in having a bad day.

Bluntness100 · 06/11/2020 21:21

Defo non woo, that’s just someone pissed off, likely a grumpy teen.

Sandytoes86 · 06/11/2020 21:25

Most likely a grumpy teenager who was sent to their room!

GnomeDePlume · 06/11/2020 21:27

Non woo: the door didnt fit wherever it was and whoever moved it up into the loft was fed up of draughts

Ginkypig · 06/11/2020 21:27

It’s quite obviously been a human with a sharpie at some point, now if had been written in ectoplasm then I might have got on board.

What sandytoes said!

Ironmanrocks · 06/11/2020 21:29

Kind of depends where the door was from? The house? A barn or shed? Not woo - it looks like it was written with a sharpie!

TankGirl97 · 06/11/2020 21:30

Definitely non woo, most likely a grumpy teen!

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 06/11/2020 21:32

Non woo. Clearly having a bad day though.

Twofurrycatsagain · 06/11/2020 21:32

Non woo. I'm in the middle of a renovation and could happily write that on every surface.

draughtycatflap · 06/11/2020 21:33

During an office move one time we turned over a desk and someone had written “I’ve got an itchy fanny”. 😬

What do ghosts usually write in? A quill dipped in ink I guess ..

What's AONB? Ancient Old Norfolk Building?

I dont think that looks like teenager handwriting. You should go back up there right now and search for more clues

I mean that nicely though, my parents bought a massive Victorian house when we were kids. I think next year's the 30th anniversary we moved into that derelict thing, it's been an absolute money pit.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 06/11/2020 21:39

Probably a previous owner fed up of spending all their time and money on a house renovation, we’ve all been there!

You're clearly having a bad day - move on
