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?
