1. Remember how embarrassed you were as a kid when your parents picked out your school clothes? This house remembers…

2. This house just wishes it had a normal roof.

3. This buck-toothed house will forever regret not getting braces.

4. All this house ever wanted was to look beautiful and symmetrical like the other model homes.

5. This remorseful house is learning its lesson in jailhouse scrubs.

6. This awkward house can see you laughing at it from a mile away.

7. This garage is down in the dumps because it lost its job.

8. You’d never know from the outside, but this bright, happy house is dealing with a gender identity crisis. (Read about its story here)

9. This house is sick of getting bullied by neighboring houses for looking different.

10. This house tried too hard to impress. Now it feels abandoned and empty on the inside.

11. This house wanted to be tall, dark and handsome… but it just ended up tall.

12. This home drank away its sorrows, and now it’s paying the price.

The post 12 Houses That Are So Pitiful, You’ll Wish You Could Give Them A Hug appeared first on Lighter Side of Real Estate.

1. “If you think about it, a door is just a window with a knob.”

…argued the now-unemployed contractor.

2. This type of housing was very popular among stockbrokers on Black Tuesday.

“When Wall Street took that tail spin, you had to stand in line to get a window to jump out of” – Will Rogers, 1929

3. What’s really weird is that this is the handicapped stall.

4. This pillar is just there for emotional support.

5. This pillar is just there to screw up your day.

And who was the jerk who put chairs there? Was the pillar not inconvenient enough?

6. I don’t think this school will be producing any basketball stars.

7. My eyes tells me to pull, but my hand wants to push! Argh!

8. Here’s how to drive someone with OCD crazy in 3…2…1…

9. This is the perfect home for a tree hugger. The whole house is a tree hugger.

10. You’d think the landscapers would have noticed this after planting the first one.

But nope, they went ahead and planted eight more.

11. You must be this short to ride this ride.

If you’re not short enough now, you will be soon.

12. Apparently trees are not like cats.

They won’t just move into any box you put in front of them.

13. This is just really crappy design.

14. Someone was obviously trying to fill a bridge quota.

15. “Think we should call the power company before we make this road?”

“Nah, we’re good.”

16. You’d think after they built the stairs they’d realize their mistake.

But nope, they went ahead and installed a handrail for good measure.

17. Just remember this the next time you complain about your plumber.

The post 17 Builders Who Couldn’t Even Do Their ONE Job appeared first on Lighter Side of Real Estate.

1. This one is a puzzler.

If the builder put the toilet in first, he would have likely noticed the door wouldn’t shut. If he put it in last, he definitely would have noticed the door wouldn’t shut. Regardless of what the builder was thinking, he fixed the problem in a subtle and innovative way.

2. But at least the last bathroom door actually works as a door.

This is one of the bathrooms that prevents unwanted house guests… or wanted house guests… or really any visitors at all.

3. See, these stalls are way better than a glass door.

Sure, people will be able to see everything you’re doing on the john, but they won’t be able to see your face so it’s okay.

4. Think about it this way – now you have no excuse to not wash your hands.

5. This toilet would probably be a great addition to any Man Cave.

6. Ever order too many shoes for your feet? Because this is pretty much the same thing.

7. I suppose this door would be normal in Harry Potter.

But considering I’m a muggle, the more I look at it, the less it makes sense.

8. Think of the time and effort that went into making this window. It has two (two!) hinges, a handle, and the tiniest pane of glass ever constructed.

Someone in the window industry had to actually mount and seal that piece of glass. I suppose it’s burglar-proof though, so that’s nice.

9. Again this window begs the question – why even bother?

10. Every time you turn on this faucet a liability attorney is born.

11. The contractor who is installing these things is shockingly bad at his job.

12. I guess some people would consider a faucet that blocks the medicine cabinet to be “inconvenient” but hey, at least it doesn’t electrocute whoever uses it.

13. This looks like someone got tired of lugging the fridge into the house, stopped in the middle of the kitchen, and built a frame around it.

“Eh. Close enough.”

14. I mean, this property technically has a balcony. There’s no arguing that.

15. “…”

16. You’re telling me you think the handicapped bathroom should be handicap accessible?

That’s outrageous.

17. See that little divot? That’s where your unicycle wheelchair goes.

18. Mind the gap.

19. I get it, that hexagon looks like it was pretty hard work.

20. Finishing off on a slightly maddening note, I’ll just let you figure this one out for yourself.
