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

Not in my house!

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?

Elon Musk Cries Racism After Associated Press Explains Why They Capitalize 'Black' But Not 'White'

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
