How small it is.

Half of its occupants.

The lack on insulation in the sunroom...and winter is coming...!

[SharpWit 2,751]

Parking isn't enforced properly so we have to walk a quarter mile to get to our car.

Our communal dumpsters are two and a half times too small for everyone's garbage output which is all the more frustrating when we only generate a single bag every 2 weeks.

I like that our sink has a retractable nozzle for the main faucet, but the threading on the head doesn't have an exact measurement for its threading, and the water pressure is too low, which means using a syphon pump to empty and fill our fish tanks isn't possible which for me to get an electric pump that was at least twice as expensive, and that was after purchasing fittings/converters that hardly worked.

Our bathroom fans turn on when they detect moisture in order to help prevent possible water damage. Only they detect the water moisture from our toilet bowls, even when the lids are shut, meaning they never turn off.

Not a huge fan of the design, and it’s hard to keep clean and organized. 
 

It’s haunted.

Care to elaborate? 

As for me, not too much, but I do have to say that out neighbors are NOT nice in the slightest.  They're Russian immigrants and they have like, 8 cars they're trying to always move around their driveway like a game of Tetris, they also park too close to our driveway so it's hard to get in/out the passenger side door of my brothers car who parks in our driveway. My mom has actually called the police on them several times because they would sometimes park their cars purposefully close to our driveway so that my brother couldn't back out of our own driveway without hitting one of their trillion sports cars. Also they're loud and one of them smokes

Weird stuff happens every now and then. 
 

My dad and I have both heard voices in his room when no one else was home. 
 

The light over our oven turned on once while I was in the restroom  while everyone else was asleep. 
 

My mom and I heard someone knock three times on her bedroom door.  
 

I was on the computer in the kitchen and the blinds behind me moved like someone ran into them or brushed across them.  Could’ve been a draft, but it’s rather weird I’ve never seen it happen again since and never seen it happen before that. 
 

It’s not often stuff happens, though.  Usually months go by before something else weird happens, sometimes a year or more. 

Don’t really know if it’s a ghost or not lol, but if it is we’ve come to terms with it.   We all figure that if whatever it is wanted to harm us it would have done so by now.   It’s still pretty creepy when something happens though.

Yeah, I would say that sounds like a ghost to me. And your right, it's harmless like 99% of sprits are, it's just that one percent- poltergeists- that you have to be careful of, because they will harm you. If your ghost was a poltergeist though it would have started doing violent stuff a long time ago, so you have nothing to worry about, but it is still creepy when stuff happens regardless I'm sure

I love being so close to the woods, but I wish mice would stop visiting! I don't really want to hurt them, but I may call an exterminator if they come back.

[MidnightFire1222 2,204]

Not too much for me, though my room has an issue of getting a bit too cold sometimes.

[They call me Loyalty 1,949]

Despite the ancient nature of this house. I am grateful for the refuge it has provided me with during the last twenty years. Many people may complain about the state of the building. But no me, because it is a reflection of my being.
You see, many of the neighboring constructions may have a nicer facade to disguise the nature that lies beneath the fake appearance. But the cracks and the dirt are still there, they just hide it better. As to me, I value transparency above pretence.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,209]

The lack of insolation around the windows. We have to plastic up most of the windows in the house to keep it warm.

[Tom Gallagher 33,599]

Family members milling around and waking me up every morning.  Other than that, it's fine.

- Not having space for all my things, like my PC stuff.

- The stove of my kitchen (The knob doesn't work 80% of the time, and it prevents me to learn how to cook.)

-Why my house is now a market of some sort? 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

The low basement ceiling, I usually end up banging my head on stuff down there.

Bleach down your kitchen or areas they might in from outside and get some mothballs.

 

-Its up on a 3ed floor

-Noise from the main street

-The Parking sucks at times.

My neighbor with the subwoofer.

The wet bar that really has no use in 2020. My condo is only 1,000 square feet so it's not big enough to actually entertain guests and there's no need for it. The space would be better used as a pantry, but it's good for making coffee. 

High association dues. But I really get A LOT of value out of my association, so it's a minor pick.

Nail pop in some of the drywall. And all of the walls are textured so it's an extra step to have to take if a section of drywall is ever replaced.

I was in a hurry to paint this place last summer when I bought it, and the shortcuts I took are incredibly obvious to me. Some of my paint lines look like crap, especially where the grey walls meet the white ceiling.

The carpet is in rough shape. Also, so much carpet. I'd rather have vinyl or laminate. So much easier to clean, especially when the cats feel barfy.

That it's in Southern US and not somewhere better like New England.

Almost daily! I got peppermint oil too. I read that the don't like strong smells and will stay away from peppermint. At least they look cute!

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

Our laundry room is kind of spooky, full of bugs, and doesn't have insulation. Same with our garage, which is more of a workshop with unnecessarily large doors. If you tried to park a car in it I guarantee you'd fall through the floor.

 

[Will Guide 21,364]

Because of covid-19 and then later my mother's broken arm there hasn't been one day where I was home alone and able to do my housework without any distractions or criticisms

[Vicky 2,217]

My garage door literally never works and my own bedroom door has no lock.

[Steve Piranha 29,449]

The weather. Right now, it’s stuck between template , and tolerably cold. Otherwise is hot, and humid as hell 

[DubWolf 17,443]

It’s always falling apart and things break  .

Our refrigerator always has too much food in it, and it's always frustrating getting what you need because you have to move other food just to get to what you need.

 

Our house gets too hot during the summer months, especially in July. Even though we run our A/C, it still gets too hot.
