Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Lies!
I see wi-fi antennae. What gamer settles for that?
I want to go to an estate agent and say "I want a house so wired that if I down 82 redbulls and punch through the drywall after losing a round of Call of Skyrim, anywhere in the house, I should be able to reach in the hole and pull out a bale of Cat 6."
Wifi 6 is pretty amazing. I play on it since my apartment has a weird layout and I will not drag a cable from one side of the apartment (where the router is) to the other (where the office is located).
Network latency averages somewhere around 5ms which is totally fine.
Looks like a router to me, in which case it's probably for his phone and tv.
The pc is close enough to it to be hardwired
I have a similar setup. Three monitors with the tower behind and a router on top. All hard-lined. Wifi is only for dumb shit like phones and handhelds.
We're living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don't want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.
It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.
Also we're tied to using her ISPs router because we didn't want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we're on our third.
Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.
Oh well. Do it for her!
But why would you lose her phone number using another router? I use the cable company's shitty modem but I have a super nice router, no issues. If her landline phone is actually VoIP then it seems like it should still function with another router? Maybe I'm wrong on that. If it's a true landline then one should have nothing to do with the other though. Oh and one more point if the car comp6just nukes her phone number and hands it to someone else because you hooked up a 3rd party router then seriously eff them.
In Australia, the phone number is tied to the ISP, and she's with the biggest, worst one. We considered porting but the risk would be too great and she was too anxious about it.
You have described my house.
The walls are made of patches after the nightmare install.
What's bad about this?
Take 2 days to lay a carpet and paint the place and it'll be completely fine. Easy and simple.
Sure it’s easy. That’s why the seller should have done it. If you sell a house you should stage it properly so you get the most money out of it. Many people have zero imagination and can’t see past the current interior design. The seller is an idiot for putting it on sale like this. They don’t even have to place carpet just coat the floor with white paint and it suddenly looks modern.
💯 Pictures like this turn potential buyers away.
Especially on a home that's listing above half a million. That's right, all this can be yours for over 500k.
That looks like a concrete floor. You can't put flooring on it without some kind of vapor barrier / moisture release solution. It'll just be mold heaven.
Speaking of mold and moisture, this is just a photo, but I can smell the musky smell of damp stale air!
I could install that carpet for you in a short afternoon but I do it professionally.
I can smell the black mold
Still more in it than some programmer 'homes' I've seen, where it's matress on the floor, boxes as tables, but a desk and a computer.
Reminds me of drug dens. I think this kind of thing happens when too much of your life is consumed by a single thing....
I had to quickly move to a short-term rental and I did this. I had a three-inch pad on the floor to sleep on, a folding chair, and a desk with my laptop on it.
I'm a programmer, and as such, knew lots of other programmers. It was alarmingly common. I always tried to make a bit more of a home, and do other things outside of programming outside of work, but most didn't. It was office or pub. But maybe it's a 20s thing.
I was reviewing sensor data for ADVs while I was doing this.
When I moved out for the very first time I was using banana boxes and a piece of plywood as a computer desk. It honestly worked pretty dang good until my relocation check cleared and I was able to buy real furniture.
These are the type of people that feed in my league of legends games
A dream come true. Whoever lives there must be a fundamentally happy person.
They are so content that basic things that would annoy most people don't even register for them.
They’ve been spending most their lives living in the gamers paradise~
To me, a gamers paradise is a clean desk with a high end PC connected to a removedin sweet ultra wide monitor. This pic just makes me itch all over.
There's no scattered empty soda, and chip bags. Also, there's definitely be a layer of cheatoh and Doritos dust over everything giving a sort of neon orange tinge. Clearly this is staged.
Rage-quitting must be extra satisfying, throwing your controller down onto bare concrete.
I could g*me so hard in that room. Can you send me the listing?
I can smell it from here…
Eesh. The dwelling of someone who only lives virtually. Depressing.
Typing this right now from a garage office with unpainted, somewhat uninsulated walls and a concrete floor. I don't mind working in it, but I wouldn't want to live here.
That's where they house mmo bot makers
I would need AC but apart from that....
Wow! Dirty mofos
