    What do you find annoying about other peoples homes?

    Saw this on another forum so thought I would start it here , whether it be design , pet etc , what annoys you whenever you go to someone's else home

    I would say my brother's is always too cold whenever I go over.

    Animal neglect has to be chief among my peeves.

    Wearing shoes inside. I know it's not my place but it still bugs me. Why track all that dirt through your own house???

    One friend has a ginormous black Newfoundland, and their home is spotless. I'm told they rarely have to clean. I have an English cocker spaniel, and there's fucking blonde hair everywhere, despite constant cleaning. Annoying!

    I am very tidy and clean in my person and environment. I can not tolerate a dirty or messy home or person. Total deal-breaker. We will never be friends and I will not visit again. It grosses me out to point of physical revulsion.

    Obnoxious smell. If you invite me over at least make sure I don't have to smell your stink. Vent.

    Having an unclean home is really gross.

    I dont like how (some) dogs tend to jump on you when you enter someone's house. You know, they put their two paws on you. I don't mind dogs, just dont like them jumping on me.

    I think narrow lap siding is hideous, and it's everywhere now.

    When they have those "LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE" signs in their house or the other ones that have some kind of corny saying or joke on it. Ugh, makes me cringe in disgust.

    How do you know? I think most homes have a weird, unique smell. Maybe mine (and yours) has one too but we're just used to it and don't notice it.

    People who own animals and don't clean after them.

    A house with multiple cats can really smell like a shithole if the person isn't on top of that. Even worse is people who own things like lizards, snakes, or ferrets. Just nasty smells, and they are usually so used to it they don't even notice anymore.

    I always vent my apartment for some time before I have guests over, just to give them fresh air to breathe. Especially annoying when people have big pets like dogs. Your dogs smell like shit. Don't let my clothes smell like your dog does.

    Or smokers. God do I hate to enter the homes of heavy smokers. Blergh.

I think they just get used to it and don't realize how disgusting it smells to nonsmokers.
    Of course they get used to it. If you live in the shitter for just some time, actually only a few hours I think are needed, you already stop to notice the smell.

    When I keep my window closed in my office room and I leave it after like 6 hours for a walk or so... I immediately notice the bad air when I get back in which makes me open the window ASAP. If I had never gone out, I would not have cared a bit.

    That's why farmers don't care about the smell of animal shit, etc. etc.

    Doesn't make it less disgusting for those not used to those smells, and I think it's a sign of missing empathy if you aren't considerate of that when you invite people over to your place.

    Nothing, maybe just how I was raised but if I'm a guest in someone's home I check my personal preferences at the door. I don't care what weird rules they have, if it's hot/cold, or anything else. It's their home. Just be gracious that they allow you in their personal space.

    Some people's entire home smells like the laundry detergent they use. Like their entire house will smell like Tide. I hate constantly smelling strong smells like that. Makes me sick.
