People Share The Worst Thing They've Ever Come Home To

Not in my house!

Make us preferred on Google

Home is a sanctuary. It is the place where we are all entitled to enter and all that ails us just fades away because the outside world is a dark place. And it's our haven, our time in our safe space that keeps us sane. However, this is too often not the case. Home can be a place of turmoil and grief. Sometimes what is on the other side of the front door can be daunting and a life changing experience.

Redditor u/Cyan26 wanted to know what unknowns were creeping behind closed doors by asking... What's the worse thing you've come home to?


Powerless!!

After learning the oil & gas company shut down after four years of my employment. I got home at 10:30am. Both my neighbor and the Leasing Office manager were outside, or happen to be outside watching me carry my "office/desk box." Inquiries were immediate. "Hey, insert name, why are you home so early? What is in that box?"

Then I learned the generator was hit by "mean birds" and was out of service. That means, all the groceries I just bought were sitting in the fridge and I had no job, with the added bonus of no electricity. The power didn't "turn on" until later the next morning. I knew this was a sign of twists and turns to come, and boy have they! Tang2726

Not my Towels....

One of our bathrooms has a shower with a rim that is like 2 inches above the drain. The sewer outside got clogged it backed up in that shower and over that edge and was almost about to reach my carpet. I had to use all my towels and old clothes to absorb the mess and had to run out buy mops and buckets and clean up until plumber arrived. meta_uprising

Home is where the heart is... or where the horror is. Anything to share?

The stereotype of the weeping mother unable to cope with her children beginning preschool, or kindergarten, or graduating from high school, or going off to college was shattered by former First Lady Michelle Obama during a recent appearance by Jon Stewart on her IMO (In My Opinion) with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson podcast.

While pop culture has reinforced the trope of empty nester moms unable to cope when their children gain independence, the former FLOTUS told Stewart she feels free now that her daughters Malia and Sasha Obama, now 28 and 25 years old respectively, have moved out on their own.

Foraging Is Making A Comeback On TikTok For The Most Depressing Reason—And Oof

It's not fun to think about or talk about, but the economy is in a tough place right now, and it's important for people to do what they can to ease the pressures of the economy on their lives.
