  Oh c&apos;mon people. <b>Take care of your pets!</b><br>I don&apos;t understand why some people just have pets, sometimes an absurd number of pets, just to neglect them.

  We have a life-ish sized skeleton that glows in the dark. It’s stored hanging from a loop on the top of its head in a utility cupboard. A few tradies have opened that cupboard with a “WTF?” If you’ve got to have skeletons in your closet, make sure they glow in the dark.

  I&apos;m a gardener in England. &nbsp;One of my elderly customers neighbour had a greenhouse which was <b>full</b> of weed one year. &nbsp;I mean like the greenhouse was a solid block of weed - I don&apos;t think the guy expected it to grow that big. &nbsp;I&apos;d noticed the smell loooong before it was visible above the fence, but eventually my customer asked if it was weed and I confirmed it was. &nbsp;He was totally cool and unbothered by it, and just told me a story about how a house two doors down in the other direction had been raided by the police for having a large scale grow going on some years prior. &nbsp;A few weeks later the weed was gone. &nbsp;I assume the guy either got scared or realised he&apos;d messed up his grow by getting it that big, because it wasn&apos;t flowering yet so there&apos;s no way he&apos;d harvested it. &nbsp;Bit of a shame, really.<br>I have a friend who used to live in central London, and she had a neighbour who grew massive plants in his tiny garden which were visible to more than a dozen other houses, and nobody cared.<br>Most people aren&apos;t bothered by someone minding their own business growing a bit of weed while being a decent person.

  This is my mom&apos;s coworker story. They worked at an extended stay hotel. It was pretty common to see drugs, sex workers and the like on these properties. One night a pretty nervous 20+ year old checked in. After a few days no one had seen him or heard from him or even seen him leave room. My mom&apos;s friend went to clean the room. She opened the doors to a horror show. Blood sprayed all on the walls,blankets,beds, and even ceiling. She was freaked out and went around the bed to find the kid with his throat cut nearly ear from ear. That is when he gasped,spraying out more blood towards her. She screamed and called the police and ambulance. She was told to take a 10 min break and go back to cleaning

  Weird home-visit story from a social worker:<br>I was working for a hospital in NYC, visiting a new patient in one of the Harlem projects. &nbsp;This woman was super nice and had lived in the same project for 60 years. &nbsp;Whenever I leave a patients home I always offer them a hug and after I gave this woman a hug she bangs on the wall next to the door and a piece of wood falls down revealing a pile of machetes and she goes “I like you sweetie, if anyone gives you problems you tell them [her name] the machete lady has your back”.<br>I’ve never met a cooler woman

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGkgQeASry4&amp;t=931">15:31</a> And THAT&apos;S how you make a good joke. &nbsp;A positive/neutral story and the fact you rarely make jokes means it completely sucker-punched me in the best way.

  So… who else here will no longer feel self-conscious about having too much dirty laundry in the hamper or decorations from a holiday that’s already over, when a plumber needs to come over and fix something? Because I’m pretty sure my house and its bat stickers and fake skull on a shelf don’t even place with plumbers’ weird stories.

  Not a plumber, but did maintenance for an apartment complex for low income families. 95% of the places are what you&apos;d expect. A little cluttered, but nothing outlandish. Had a couple hoarders though. One lady that&apos;d been there for years finally had us try to fix something and when my co-worker and I knocked on the door, the smell made us both back up when she answered. We <b>had</b> to notify management office, she ended up being evicted (I still fell bad, she was a nice old woman, but....dude) and that building took months to be livable again. There were 2 dead, rotting cats and 10+ barely hanging on living on literal mountains of trash mixed with feces. The floorboards were moldy and rotting from all the cat pee that soaked through the thing that once resembled carpeting. I know that the cats were all taken in by the humane society, not sure where they went after that. She ended up in an assisted living apartment building where she&apos;s much better taken care of than on her own.
