I don't like reading material in the bathroom. Worse even than magazines there, I used a bathroom in Europe where the entire small bathroom was lined with shelves full of books. Ugh. Stored in the bathroom. Disgusting.
In England, some years ago, I encountered my first WC. I hate those little rooms, so claustrophobic. Worse, it had no sink in the same room. And the toilet paper was folded like old-fashioned toilet paper found in dispensers in gas stations, and the quality was like onion skin paper.
The bathroom was right off the dining room at my old house. That's one reason I like the layout of my current house so well--the bathroom is off a short hallway. Since it's a normal-sized house with a traditional layout, there's nowhere to put the furniture except up against the walls.
I agree about the TV. I grew up with the *#($! thing on 18 hours a day. I hate anything blaring just for noise. Ambient music channels on Youtube, or ocean waves tracks, or a fire video are much better for sound if the house is too quiet.
people that won't turn on lights or open windows on overcast days. I also don't like overnight stays on old beds where you can feel the coils and springs. Also bathtub rings and soap scum in the shower. Dusty blinds and hoarding claustrophobia with Disney characters collecting dusty. Or a creepy owl collection. Smoky walls from chain smokers that leave you with a sore throat.
Thread reminded me of the children's classic book about Benjamin Budge and Barnaby Ball. One's house to small, one's house to big.
Unless I'm spending a significant time staying over I wouldn't care too much. The number one thing would be smell. I remember as kid if visiting parent's friend's house with heavy smokers I couldn't stand it. We had a distant cousin I recall visiting as a young child that in just a brief time in their house your clothes / hair would stink like an ashtray.
If being invited to stay for a few days it would be combination of smell and the other's 'acceptable level' of cleanliness or lack thereof as generally they go together. Only once did I encounter this. It was a friend's apartment on one of my trips to NYC. When I took shower the first time I discovered the bathtub was disgustingly dirty, for what I thought was 'non slip' texture, was built up soap scum and grime. While I was glad he let me stay at his place, I found it so disgusting, I went out and bought cleaning products and did my best to clean the tub since I was going to be there a few days.
Smells from pets, dander, and generally an unclean home would annoy me.
What is it with Cigarettes. Cigars stink, Pipe Smoking isn't bad, but Cigarettes seem to be the silliest of the three.
QUIT. I did 25 years ago. STOP SMOKING!!! (I smoked all of these at one time, it was how I eventually gave up smoking completely, only smoked when I drank, something else I gave up years ago)
I find buttheads incredibly annoying!
Something I find a bit amusing is folks going in homes like the ones described in this thread. How do you know these people?

That's the best place to read short stories and articles. You're the first person in decades to say that you don't like it.
