To ask for another annoying things about other peoples homes thread?

This one two years ago made my christmas... can we have another? 🎄 🙏

When the soap in the bathroom ALWAYS seems to be at the end. Never a full bottle. Maybe sometimes even watered down? Aren't they washing their hands?

Really deep pile carpet that means you can't open or close doors.

My friends' house is always ridiculously cold - they just both just be warm people, but they NEVER seem to notice!

As above - no lock on the toilet door (why not?). Not enough hand towels. No side tables.

Separate toilet to the bathroom with no sink?! So have to leave toilet and go into bathroom to wash hands or have to go to the toilet in a separate room before going in the shower. I know this is old fashioned now but a lot of houses still have this design!

Live, laugh, love and other signs, usually relating to gin, family etc.

When front door opens straight into a room, not a hallway.

Beautiful barn conversions where actually there is zero storage as all the bedrooms are in the eaves.

That grey/cream pebble dash exterior wall covering on front of house (not sure what it’s called!)

When they have an immaculate home with absolutely zero clutter all of the time and loads of places to take photos, in our house you've always got a door, curtains, tv, fireplace or whatever behind you.

My lovely friend is sooooo untidy she has millions of empty shampoo/shower gel/conditioner bottles everywhere- just go in with a bloody bin bag and tidy up!! The bathroom is clean too - she must literally pick them up to clean under them.

And she has a bed sheet as a window covering in the kitchen - she could afford to buy a little blind, she could put a little blind up but she can’t be arsed.

And she never ever opens her living room curtains, she’s a professional, together woman who lives in a hole

But I love her and would never tell her

I thought of more

Not closing curtains/blinds when it goes dark but having lights on

Not having curtains or blinds at all - often in kitchen!

House smelling of dog where dog is obviously allowed on sofa all the time etc. (and I say this as a dog owner!)

Over use of air freshener in toilet rather than just opening the window or putting toilet cleaner down it so you end up smelling toilet mixer with air freshener.

Agree with no toilet bin!

Not enough toilet rolls.

Watered down hand soap.

Ridiculous amounts of clutter.

When people dont take off shoes in the house, when people clean the kitchen floors but forget about the edges and they are thick with dirt, smeary mirrors/windows, filthy hobs, when the oven door is brown because the oven has never had a deep clean. You get the picture.

Too hot
Shite pillows
Only instant coffee and cheap tea bags
Scratchy towels
Economy loo roll

Oh god my parents don't have a kitchen bin either! So traumatic. They used to use crappy supermarket bags until they got banned And I can't imagine what they must be doing now they cost 10p.

Mate, every post seems to be describing my parents house. The coffee and tea. 🤦‍♀️

When you are instructed to dry yourself with a facecloth first to "save the bath towel".

When the fridge doesn't work but that's ok, just leave the milk outside.

When drinking glasses are the size of thimbles when you just want a massive glass of water.

My MIL one-ups the “no bathroom bin” by having no KITCHEN bin. You have to pile things in a neat little heap on the counter near the door where they’re then taken to the wheelie bin approximately 6,000 times a day.

That’s horrible ...rubbish is supposed to be bagged. Their wheelie bin must be a health hazard, especially in warm weather. 🤮

Small rooms with too much, or too large furniture in them. Sparkly angel wings or other expensive sparkly tat on the walls. Rooms with loads of little annoying ornaments everywhere - ugh. Houses that are so immaculate you can’t relax as you make the place look untidy just by being there. Shades of grey everywhere....

At the house of my childhood friend's parents , there was a toilet (no washbasin) and a separate bathroom downstairs.
If you wanted to get to the loo from upstairs or outside, you had to walk in through the hall, living room, dining room kitchen then into the loo.
To wash your hands, it was either in the kitchen sink or in the bathroom which was the other end of the kitchen.
It was impossible to go to the loo without the entire household knowing - excruciating when I was a shy teen.

Live, laugh love on the walls

Blue flashing Christmas nothing more chic at Christmas than the major accident, police in attendance look

My MIL is a fanatical horder of hideous family heirlooms, so every inch of wardrobe & drawer space is taken up with Great Aunt Mildred's lace doily collection or Uncle Graham's favourite mug or whatever. And the PILs are too tight to turn the heating on, so their house is like the frozen wastes of Siberia. To be fair MIL probably finds my house horribly warm though.

Also I'm a massive arachnophobe, so struggle in houses where spiders are just let do their thing in random corners. I'm too polite to ever let on, but I can't sleep in the same room as a spider, which is fun times.

My in laws bathroom has no blinds and the windows aren't frosted.. so in the winter people can see right in when you are showering. They live in the middle of nowhere so they seem to think it's fine but their neighbours house looks on to the bathroom so they can definitely see in! It's so disturbing 😂

Hanging signs with cute messages about love, gin, dogs, husbands etc , which can be bought in any trash shop but are intended to emphasise individuality.

No books.

Bathroom with no soap/damp handtowels/down to the last two sections of toilet paper and no spare roll/ ancient tide mark in toilet bowl /all stinks of airfreshener

Some of you would love our bathroom and en-suites that have no windows at all. Extractor fans only run with the lights on too.

We don't have a bathroom bin we moved here when I was pregnant and I've had one period in 3 year and I use a cup. Other than pregnancy tests whats to throw away? Will get a bin for guests (that will go unused for months at a time)

Yes to the shite pillows. And a small double bed I’m required to share with my (overweight) DH. Weird that I never want to visit the IL. I can never get any sodding sleep.
Totally agree on the tiny glasses when your absolutely gasping. Another crime committed by my ILs!

This! We stay with a relative who refuses to put a bin in the kitchen. It is really annoying. Little piles of rubbish lined on the counter. Bundles of waste food in empty bread wrapping paper. Empty milk cartons on top of the microwave. Used teabags in the sink. And in and out to the bins all day long necessitating opening the back door, washing hands thoroughly after touching wheelie bin lids. I often say no to another cup of tea because I can’t face going out in the sodding rain to put the teabag in the wheelie bin!

Toilet seat stained with fake tan, just reminds me someone else's arse has been there.

Weird sized glasses

Awful cookware (blunt knives, crap pans etc)

Pets

Carpeted bathrooms

Friends who don't realise how much their pets smell. Especially litter trays which aren't emptied and cleaned enough.

People who should put their glasses on to clean their bathrooms.

• I realise other people have disposable sanitary products but day to day I don't think about it, we are set up for reusable stuff because somehow I'm a crunchy weirdo
