Inspired by a Reddit thread...there were some absolutely weird things that people experienced or saw at their mates' houses as children.
There was a man who said he hated eating at his friend's house because they weren't allowed to drink water with a meal.
There was someone who said their friend wasn't allowed in any other room but the kitchen and their bedroom.
That kind of thing! I'm thinking myself and can't really dredge much up. There was one friend who lived in a huge mansion...think National Trust style place...and it was empty!
Just room after room with less furniture in the place than in an average semi!
Normal-ish family...I think they were broke due to having 5 kids and privately educating them all!
