When the girl was selling her place and we had to get the place ready for open homes......fuck me dead
We're looking to move and just do a quick tidy-up. An uber-tidy and clean house is a bit of a turn-off for us when we're viewing houses. Want to see a house not a show-home.

Yeah what guest and/or potential buyer is genuinely put off by evidence of life/living? I've never walked into a house for a cup of tea or a meal and thought 'Christ the spare bedroom had a lot of stuff on the bed.' Or 'I can't believe there was a bit of loose dust on the kitchen floor.' Or worst of all 'I was shocked at the presence of toys on the floor of the kids toyroom'.

@barbarian we have to clean for the fucking cleaner...
yeah this level pisses me off the most in our house too
and then will still complain that the cleaner didn't do a good job, like its a CSI audition

Bonesetta's dream kitchen is bare surfaces with all appliances away in cupboards. She of course, does fuck all in there apart from boil a kettle and dish up the dog's food. How infuriating is it when you put down your knife then when you come back it's been washed?

Cooking Christmas dinner. Had all the packaging for stuff like Pigs in Blankets, various sauces, etc all lined up so I could easily read instructions/cooking times. Go to grab a glass of wine and when I come back, they're ll in the bin and the worktop wiped down.
Or when you need to take two trips to get stuff from the fridge and you have to open it again as she's immediately closed it.
Drives me fucking nuts.

@Victor-Meldrew to be fair, removing evidence of reading instructions is probably just catering to your manhood.

Random 'people' parked outside the bloody house with the cars running and they seem to be, what, sleeping in there with the motor on? It's not 40 degrees. I don't need the extra CO2 thanks mate. Time to get giant blowers on the front gate.

@Victor-Meldrew you could report the very important incident of people attending your house and minding their own fucking business for a few hours/days on social media.

Mrs Meldrew would probably break the internet.
