Name 1 thing in someone else's house that really skeeves you... (houses, to buy)

Mine is: hair. Seeing hair on tile floors...in someone's shower......on the rim of the toliet......any kind of hair.....from the top to below kinda hair.

Hair does it for me

A cat box that has not been changed for days.......I had my own pet sitting business and I was very surprised at some of the houses I'd go into.

Dogs that jump on you, or smell your crotch, and the owner's think it is cute.

I get out as soon as possible.

And I absolutely love dogs.

When you use their restroom and when you go to get toilet paper off the roll you see that the wastebasket is overflowing with used toilet paper and you can see doo doo on some.....egads this happened to me not long ago.

No...frickin...way... I'm not going to say anymore...

I think I will have to say ashtrays. I don't smoke, and others smoking does not bother me. But a full stinking ashtray will make me gag. Especially when there is a 3 or 4 inch tall pile of them. Why?

Sometimes I don't even make it into people's houses before I'm "skeeved"... I call it the "I'm deaf and can't hear my own dog barking" syndrome.

I'm a clean and tidy person. Thankfully, so is the person I'm married to. When we were looking for a home to buy (and we must've been in at least 35+ homes), the amount of clutter some people let build up...

One house we went into, as the real estate lady was unlocking the door to go in, she said (direct quote), "They're both teachers so they're not home right now, but they knew we were coming". The last part of that sentence (the part I bold-faced) blew my mind the second we stepped inside. The horrific mess throughout the entire house was unbelievable. The clincher was when we made it over the dirty laundry in the dinning room and into the kitchen. The dirty ishes every where... cereal bowls with left-over milk in them that had been sitting for so long the milk was now like sour cream, thick ,with a jello type of skin on top... that doesn't just happen over night. And they knew we were coming???

Okay... I'll stop now. I've just made myself throw up a little in my mouth.

I can't stand the litter box thing either...my daughter has a friend who has a cat box that sits on the carpeting upstairs...I don't think there is enough bleach in the world that would make me feel good about that...

Went to a friend's house and he wanted to show me the new study he made out of a guest room. It was beautifully done in rosewood, completely appropriate to the house. All in all a very comfortable getaway and office. So I tell him I need to use the bathroom and he tells me, "Use my son's bathroom," so I said ok, feeling a little sheepish for invading the kid's privacy even if he wasn't home, and while I'm standing there doing my business I notice a defnitely used condom in the wastebasket.

That was a moment I will not soon forget.

Otherwise, poorly kept bathrooms are what really get to me.

I was putting in new meters in houses in St. George, a small village in the Pribilof Islands. I went into this house, owners were home. Dishes stacked EVERYWHERE in the kitchen and dining room. The living room was piled knee high with laundry (without even a path through it). I had to re-seat the breakers which were in the kid's room, and there was just a matress on the floor, no sheets, blankets, not even a pillow. Yuck. Worst looking home I've ever been in.
