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!

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.

These really trigger me, even when I don't have OCD. A message to the people who made/built these.... you had one job

Finally a post I can join in on! In my rental there’s black mold all over the place, there’s been mushrooms growing through the skirting boards in the bathroom, and there are damp spots on nearly every wall. When it rains, every damp patch grows, a puddle of water spreads on the floor of one window, and the roof leaks in the kitchen, running right down to the light switch. 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 was homeless before I moved in here, so I try to be grateful for just having a roof over my head….reeeeallly starting to struggle with that now lol

I would try talking to the owner about it to see what can be done. Especially mold can be a bad health hazard. If they don't want to do anything about it please consider finding a new place. Yeah before moving in somewhere you always wanna look out for mold in the kitchen/bathroom area, any suspicious spots from moisture and dampness on the walls, ceilings and floor. Always take your time inspecting the place before moving in. I am so glad for you though having found a place and not being homeless anymore and I wish you from the bottom of my heart a clean place you can call your cozy home soon.
