Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

-
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.

The “J” in “J & L(auren)” is MISERABLE
It's a Jason isn't it? He seems happy on the outside. He has a good job, people think he's lucky having a probably pretty wife and the dinner parties are great in a home that's so neutral no-one can dislike the decor.
But he's thinking of ending it. It's just that every time he is about to have enough free time to drown himself or something he gets a text from Lauren that needs answering immediately.
She wouldn't like the mess anyway, he ponders, it wouldn't be very neutral.
You just know those books aren't there to be read.
well obviously they're there to keep the look neutral, it says so right there
Only thing missing is a "live laugh love" sign
If it were there, it would be turned around so the text is facing the wall

why you summon evil demons on lemmy? You want to get cursed?
Thanks, just laughed out loud at work reading this

I bet all the books are about homeopathy and essential oils.
Did you know you can buy books with blank pages? You can even choose the severity of the discoloration and degree of mottling of the pages. Utter psychopaths.
Those are some of the best books. They can take a while to fill up, though.
Not journals, staging books.
I know someone who has beautiful 2 story bookshelves with a rolling ladder. The only real books I saw on their massive bookshelves? The hunger games and Harry Potter. So sad.
Which is honestly hilarious and sad, because you can basically just spend a weekend going to estate sales and get a phenomenal amount of gorgeous old books for less than what they probably paid for those fake ones. I've picked up so many cool turn of the century science/engineering books that are sometimes hilariously outdated, but they cost like a dollar or two at most, the majority being like 10/$1, and at the very least look really nice on the shelves if that's all you care about.
Why? What do you do with your books? read them? Fuckin' nerd.
wait, i thought they were for levelling tables and chairs?
That's the great thing about books! They're useful in many ways!
Knowledge is power.
wait, i thought they were for levelling tables and chairs?
I use mine to weigh down things I glue. It's this not how books work?

Man, fuck Lauren and fuck the parents who raised her to do that to books.
Fuck the grandparents too

Normally I'm against the death penalty, but I'll make an exception for Lauren
KEEP THE LOOK NEUTRAL
I must be stupid because I can’t even figure out what it means to stack books back to front.
You're not stupid.
I think they mean with the spine facing the wall instead of outwards.
Ah ok. Gross.
Don't worry Lauren isn't the type to read them anyway. She prefers TikTok.

the side with the title on it is facing the wall, so that they all look roughly the same color when viewed from the front. And now you can't tell which book is which.
Thanks, I think my brain was just having a moment.
My daughter does this, has done since she was a little girl. Once, I asked her why - she just shrugged and said she preferred it that way, no specific reason.
Fair enough, I thought. Her books, her shelves, no one was getting harmed by it - and I moved on.
Why is everyone getting so butt hurt in this thread about it?
well I mean it makes it much more difficult to tell what each book is lol, it's just very impractical for if you end up wanting to find a certain book
Because she is objectively wrong. :)
Poor J can’t find his copy of The Hobbit!
J is probably imaginary
What he doesn't know is the Lauren put it in the recycling 5 weeks ago. His ghost will forever wander the house turning a book around, sighing and moving on to the next one. Lauren is quietly pleased about it as J is now very neutral, the all that ground glass in his Buddha bowls was worth the effort.
It's got his starch in it. He needs it to calm down from the latest Lauren redecoration fiasco.
He has only just got over all the throw pillows covering every piece of furniture.
I love reading. I read a lot. And I rarely open a paper book. So perhaps Lauren also has an e-reader, and keeps the books there because she inherited them. Or maybe she likes the smell of old books as it reminds her of her grandparents house where she spent her summers. Or it may be that she likes the feel of moving her fingers through all those pages. It brings back old memories of her librarian mother who passed away when she was just a child. Or...
The point being, why the hate? So here's a different take. Perhaps Lauren has a good reason to have the books like that.
And on the top shelf she even stacked the books in addition. Utter madness.
That looks likea bunch of wooden blocks
Oh such a great idea! It's like my idea for a square wheel, they look much tidier stacked up.
Fuck, I actually like how it looks.... But it's so nonsense....
The amount of terrible people in this thread is sad. You are much worse than Lauren.
People with "styles" like this remind me of my sister-in-law. That is not a good thing.
