‘What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen in someone’s home they thought was normal?’ – 19 utterly bizarre home furnishings

‘I had these two friends (they were siblings) as a kid and everytime I went to their house their mom would make them vacuum the house nonstop.

‘We were outside in their backyard playing and their mom would angrily yell at my friends to come vacuum the house even though it had been vacuumed like twice already that day.

‘One time we were half way to the store to buy some candy, their mom called them really angry to come back home immediately and vacuum. She couldn’t wait until we had visited the store so we had to start walking back to their house so my friends could vacuum the house which was already spotless.

‘On top of their vacuuming, the mom would vacuum too, so there were three people vacuuming that house all the time. It felt so weird.’

‘House pig. A boyfriend’s sister had a 500 lb pig that lived inside the house and slept in her bed with her.

‘She got it during the teacup pig craze in the nineties…and quickly learned it was not, in fact, a tea cup piglet but a full on farm pig. That sow was spoiled rotten and a part of the family.’

‘Had a friend who’s living room was closed with a velvet rope. You were allowed to look into it like it was an exhibition.

‘They also had plastic runners on the floor (even the hard ones) and you had to keep to the runners or you’d be told off. The odd-er thing was that they all stayed in the kitchen during daylight hours and if the golden retriever wanted to sit on the sofa you had to get up and stand.’
