People Are Sharing The Most Infuriating Things About Their Homes, Here Are 40 Of The Worst
It’s no secret that student-loan debts and skyrocketing housing prices have become so bad that millennials are now planning to rent forever. And it seems like very few of them, if any, have a different choice.
If you've ever lived in a rented flat, a flatshare or any other type of accommodation that essentially doesn’t belong to you (parents’ homes included), you’d know how bugging some things there might be. From people living with ¾ of an electrical outlet and ⅓ of the outlet to a “thermostat” hanging on a nail like it's some sort of decor, to landlords refusing to fix a shower you wouldn’t dare to call a shower, these are some of the mildly infuriating things people have in their rented homes.
Below we handpicked the most enraging examples, so scroll down below and be sure to share what things at home have been playing on your nerves in the comment section!

House Sitting For Uncle. Reached The Final Boss Of The Game "Unfamiliar Shower Controls"
Kylie Mountain 3 years ago
I spent a year recently in a rental house with a shower that was less complicated but no less diabolical. The only way to switch the thing from the tub faucet to the showerhead was to find the basically invisible ridge on the BOTTOM EDGE OF THE TUB FAUCET - yes, where the water comes out - and pull down. If my roommate hadn't showed me the trick, I don't know if I ever would have found this.

Turns Out My "Thermostat" Is Actually Just Hanging On A Nail And Doesn't Control The Temperature Whatsoever. Shout Out To The Best Landlords Ever
SlowTV Missouri 3 years ago
Maybe controls the grate to nowhere from the earlier post on this board
Keerthi Vardhan 3 years ago
"Oh no, you broke it, and the entire controls are missing too. You gotta pay for the missing equipment"
No industry has managed to stay grounded since the global pandemic ransacked the globe. But the real estate industry seems to have take one of the biggest hits, making endless headlines for skyrocketing home prices, extended eviction moratoriums, and the young generation not being able to afford homes, like ever. Not that they were able to do that before, but after the pandemic, the chances for many millennials became virtually non-existent.
That means that properties to rent will stay the reality for most people. Even if more and more of them are no longer able to afford them. In fact, one study showed that more than 6.5 million American households are behind on their rental payments, meaning that landlords are collectively owed upwards of $20 billion.

Sitting Under This “Vent” All Summer Wondering Why I Wasn’t Getting Any Cooler...
Jennifer Ingalls 3 years ago
I hate to admit this but here it goes: im a commercial contractor meaning aside from businesses I work on multi-family projects like apartments (they’re sadly considered ‘commercial’ instead of ‘residential’ … yeah just think about that bs). We HAD to install ‘dummy’ thermostats and grills and it was even written in the subcontracts ~ like it’s totally legal to trick people into thinking they have environmental control. It’s madness
bob bruce 3 years ago
I suspect that dummy thermostats are actually illegal fraud, especially if tenants pay their own heat bills. And why is it hard to understand that most apartment buildings are clearly commercial buildings that are rented to customers?

Another portion of society is not able to afford a rented home at all. The National Low Income Housing Coalition’s annual “Out of Reach” report finds that in a vast majority, a whopping 93% of U.S. counties, workers can’t afford a modest one-bedroom. The average hourly worker currently earns $18.78 per hour, the report finds, more than $6 short of the wage needed to afford a two-bedroom rental.
According to the same report, an average minimum wage worker in the U.S. would need to work nearly 97 hours per week to afford the average two-bedroom home, taking each state and locality’s minimum wage. That equals more than two full-time jobs.

The Victorians loved doing this, one purposeful 'error' in otherwise neat series, in unobtrusive places.

It once took me 3 weeks to discover that my daughter had put the quite big livingroom painting upside down 😉
But as if that wasn’t enough of a crisis already, Nathan Miller, the founder and CEO of Rentec Direct, property management software for real estate professionals, believes that rental rates continue to increase, even if availability is starting to increase. This is because Nathan believes that over the next couple of years, a high number of landlords will exit the market.
“The costs we’ve seen landlords incur over the course of the pandemic have brought a lot of attention to the delicate nature of a low-margin business. I think landlords in many markets across the country will take advantage of the real estate market by selling and moving away from the rental industry entirely,” he explained.

Why... What's The Point...

It isn’t your mom’s fault they got the labels wrong at the factory.
Emmanuel Grey 3 years ago

At a guess she put the wrong thing in the wrong container and it was easier to change the labels than take out the coffee and tea, fund somewhere to put it, wash out the containers, make sure they are totally dry, put coffee and tea back in correct containers, then wash out wherever you stored them while washing other containers. That would be my thought anyway.

But it’s no good news for tenants if landlords decide to exit the market. “Supply will be affected and might be a catalyst for rent increases. In addition, landlords who decide to continue renting are likely to hedge against the next pandemic or policy change. Rents will need to rise in order for landlords to recoup costs and improve their profit margins,” Miller argued.

Exactly. Whenever I hear nurses, etc., who work at retirement homes being judgmental that an elderly patient's adult children don't visit often I always tell them that they have no idea how they treated their kids when they were young. Sure poor Mildred, such a sweet old lady, never gets a visit, but it's likely because Mildred was a terrible parent who did awful things to her kids...like take off their child's bedroom door. All little old ladies and grandfatherly men weren't necessarily wonderful parents.

Besides this being a violation of trust and just despicable- it is also a fire hazard. A closed door during a fire could save a life as it slows the flow of oxygen and protects the one inside the room from the fast spread of fire. Not only are these parents saying they don't respect their child, they are saying they don't care for the welfare of them either. Disgusting.

You’re a contractor? See that slab of concrete? This was their original walkway. The mulch even goes over it a little under the stairs. The homeowner tried to save money and probably space inside by not moving the door just to accommodate the walkway or vice versa. Also without the door swinging right into the middle of the square footage, they have more room for furnishings.

It took me a year to design my house. Every morning I went by to feed my horses. Got there one morning and they had framed up the 6 foot wide opening to the kitchen across the hallway from stairs to basement. The foreman said that's how it is in plans, I'd have to get architect to fix it. They didn't have a copy of plans to prove to me. My copy was in my head . Wouldn't believe I was the architect. Had to wait for general contractor to arrive with his set. I still have light switches that I don't know what do. 2 light switches are part of 3 way configuration, I can reach at the same time. I don't know how I missed a door into the back of a closet. Brick layers got paid by the brick. We couldn't figure out how they kept running out of bricks. At the end, the landscaper found at least 5 pallets of bricks buried in the yard. Had to fire an HVAC contractor in the middle.

It’s currently about -32 here now and I don’t see a single winged tarantula in sight so I am alll good haha.it’s crazy what you can acclimate yourself to.

Marine Base Camp Lejune, NC 1989, base housing. Space between cement block wall and poured concrete slab floor: one inch on one wall. Ever met a 2 inch long roach called a Palmetto Bug? Snakes routinely ruined my morning. Lizards in the coffee, anyone? I had to keep peanut butter in refrigerator to keep regular roaches out of it. I was always fascinated by the fact an entire 30 feet of cement blocks was effectively levitating while holding up the roof as well. Because it was Base Housing, I was not allowed to fix it myself. I stuck plastic shopping bags into the crack with a putty knife. Had to remove them to pass exit inspection.

It is in a below ground basement... and if the toilet was on the floor, it would have to flush "up hill" to get to the city plumbing line, which is impossible. Back when the house was originally built and the sewer lines were set-up, nobody intended the basement to require plumbing, so this wasn't considered.

You should think about investing in an AC. 34,3 degrees Celsius (about 94° Fahrenheit) inside is not exactly comfortably cool.

A few years ago I pulled the plywood that was under the kitchen sink up because it was sunken in the middle, which itself was indication of lazy craftsmanship. I discovered that instead of wood or the particle board the cabinets were made from creating a solid platform for the plywood to rest on, along the back wall, that a soda can had been partially crushed and placed as "support". It took me all of ten minutes to find a piece of wood and cut it to fit. Kind of wish I snapped a picture showing how the can was crushed to just the right height.

Underneath the lino in the kitchen is all wet, to the point where water squirts out when you walk on it, and there is an infestation of mold lice in there (haven’t cooked or stored food in the kitchen for half a year now). There is no room for the fridge in the kitchen anyway, since I moved in a year ago, I’ve had a little kitchenette set up in the sitting room. Oh and the other day a pipe burst in the bathroom.

I rented an apartment for a very brief time that was owned by a "professional, licensed" builder. In just that one apartment, there was an outlet just hanging out of the wall, not secured into it, and he just shrugged when I said something. The "heater" was an ancient tiny furnace from a very old trailer house, and it heated only the living room. The bedroom was so very cold (northern MI winter) that the windows were thick with frost inside all day every day. The refrigerator was FULL---and I do mean thick with, absolutely FULL of cat hair. Previous tenant was a real piece of work, shrieking at her husband all the time about how her cats were far more important than he was, and they could go anywhere and do anything they wanted to without him being able to intervene. She allowed them to sit inside the fridge with the door open for hours at a time. They were both mentally challenged, with her being the worse one.
