Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Perhaps a "Bad tenant?

Based on rent not paid, not necessarily on houskeeping ability. Super made a colleciton attempt while I gained access.

The three things that bother me about this picture:

Grime on "clean" corning Ware dish in cup-board.
Flammables on a gas sotove that has pilot-lights
"Clean" water surrounded by dirty "dishes"
 
I'll let all of you figure out which one was the huge fl

Better tenant.

Ten points extra:

The upper shot was a young guy.
This lower shot was the place of an older man who could barely walk.

God bless his attempts and efforts!
 
AT least me doesn't see ciggerette any place..But then again..

Bless the old man... AT least he's trying to keep the place clean and nice...

My best friend is like the young man above..He couldn't wasah a dish if he tried... I guess thats why he has me to make sure if he house sits that the dishes get done and the place stays clean.. Fourtunatly, we both house sit one lady and her place aint very clean in the first place... I actually come over and clean and she's very happy to know that her house will be cleaner than when she left...

But what gets me is that boy too damnd lazy to throw the empty bottles away???? How much effort does it take to toss them in a plastic bag and throw them away wherever you enw yorkers throw trash (in the hall chute or in the hudson river is what some one told me)
 
Oh honey there is trash here EVERYWHERE.

~Wherever you New Yorkers throw trash.
We bury it in the south. (Honest to G-d)
(ducks and runs) *WHOOSH*

Honestly it takes effort to be that dirty. One wet paper-towel over the stove and it would get rid of that dust that has becme mud.

This guy is the type that has an electric air-cleaner in the hopes of masking filth.

Remeber I mentioned a morbid fear of water and lowering oneself to clean something? VOILA!
 
Thats how the yocals here would spell that... I have seen it spelled wrong (like that) sooo often... It's too funny!

BTW, I am still chuckling...That was good!
 
OH, HOW REVOLTING....a hipster's kitchen..."vitamin water" and Palmolive Antibacterial...if an original thought popped into his mind, it would have to leave the neighborhood, lest it die of its own common loneliness....

In other words, that boy needs a good paddling....
 
My only suggestion for gentleman number two is that there's nothing like an old toothbrush (reserved specifically for this purpose) and a few good hits of Dawn Power Dissolver to work wonders on the oven trim, knobs, etc.

I'd also recommend a hanging dish rack over the sink to facilitate use of the sink's limited space.

Otherwise, good show (this is how normal human beings USED to live...)
 
In other words, that boy needs a good paddling....

Will send under separate cover a pic of his bed. I believe he is already getting plenty of that.

The bed looked like some kind of traction device or adult toy. It was not pretty in there.
 
On HGTV, I saw a number of italian apartments in this one segment/show that was focused on that country, where there is a cabinet over the sink that has a dish-rack (open wire-grid) bottom.

Wet and washed dishes are put in that. The doors are closed and the dishes drain into the sink and air-dry. FABULOUS, practical, not an eye-sore!
 
I saw those dish racks when we where buying our cabniets...If we didn't have a window (which i wanted to elimiate, but no one ever removed, insted they just replaced it)..I was going to get one..Although it didn't have doors
 
Not seeing the dirt....

Oh, I know....my grandmother of blessed memory and now my mother would be horrified to know they missed a spot, but they did, and do, which is why my self-appointed job is to quietly re-clean it the minute they step out of the room...

That's why when I used to clean for older folks, it was harder, because they were around, and because they're like, "but I already cleaned that!", and it's important to spare their feelings....God knows, most of their kids don't care...

Come to think of it, a real estate appraiser must see a lot of interesting "props", especially because they frequently belong to those who an everyday person wouldn't associate with the scene...
 
I try to get mom to put as much as possible through the DW to de-grease the item. She means well but is starting to miss more than a few spots.......

Of course now that her hands have pain she is willing to do just that.
 
I know

I know from selling houses on a part time basis, i have seen some weird things:

There was a nice house in the Biltmore Forest area that was listed around the $600K mark... The parents where out of town and we scheduled a showing the following morning (Sunday) a showing at 10:30 am... The kids where dead asleep (all 50 of them) and there where beer cans, ciggerettes and every thing else imanginable there... The clients walked around (and over) everything and everyone... The people who where looking at it where just as shocked as I.....The kids never knew we had come and gone... I did call and tell the realtor what had happened but who knows if she told the parents

I have seen alot of dirty houses, esp. cloths all over (how would ones undergarments wind up in the kitchen or living room/family room?), dishes un washed, dog poo every wear, houses that reak of pot, one of my co workers found a meth lab a few months ago, Clients of my gramps found a blow up doll and toys in an attic they bough, i was showing an apartment once and the people where still naked in bed asleep (again never knew that we where there)...

But most of the time, people keep there places up and nice enough to show at least... Unless its a forclosure or death or something like that... Than thats another story
 
...(how would ones undergarments wind up in the kitchen or living room/family room?)...

Oh, dear...

Well, let's think about it. Under what circumstances could you imagine shucking off the old tightie-whities with a sense of urgency?

Why, some of my best...uh, nevermind!

LOL!
 
At one time when I was selling a home during a transfer to another location-I worked the mid shift then-so my home could only be "shown" while I was asleep.the Realter agent made up a little sign for me to hang on my bedroom door while I was sleeping.That worked out well.whenever she showed the house-she left a card in the kitchen-She also asked the cleints to be quiet-and this worked-I could sleep and the home was sold.I managed to keep it clean enough at that time.Laundry put away-dirty dishes put away-etc.No-didn't leave any blow up dolls,dog poo,etc.I wonder if the clients liked my small vacuum cleaner-appliance collection?
 
Probably got quite a conversation going...

I find it rather amusing that some people prefer not to clean up there mess and rather leave it behind..

Scott,

Uh-hu.......That sense of urgancy... But in the kitchen?
