If you’ve never been inside your friend’s house, how much do youreallyknow them?
“I love allanimals; I used to work at a pet clinic.
One of my coworkers invited me over to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend.
Well, her boyfriend had a large eight-foot python that roamed free.
Everything was cool until I was advised to move because the python seemed to be ‘stalking me.'”
“I had a friend in high school who was a notorious stoner and constantly smelled like pot.
He’d look up all kinds of information on hydroponics equipment and grow lights on the school computers.
Sure, it’s totally for your “tomatoes.”
His entire house was completely spotless from top to bottom.
He then asked us, “Oh, wanna see my tomatoes?”
and led us into the garage.
Turns out his hobby was growing the biggest tomatoes I have ever seen.”

“My friend collected his finger and toenail clippings in a jar for several years.
He never mentioned it to me, but I spotted the jar in his room.
“I once went to a coworker’s house after a team event.
We were looking for a place to continue partying after the bar closed.
The entire team, including supervisors, went.
My coworker was very prim and proper at work, and everyone assumed she was extremely ‘vanilla.’
When we got to her apartment, it was decked out as a BDSM dungeon.
There wasn’t just one room it was the entire apartment.
Turns out, she was heavily into BDSM and had aside hustlehosting sex parties.
She only kept her office job as a cover story during the day.”

It was her dead Christmas tree.”
The goofy thing was it was just a single setting.
His explanation for it was that he’d lost family in the Holocaust and during the war.
My coworker was a different dude, for sure."

“I was installing the internet for this guy with at least 10 cats living in a two-bedroom apartment.
The smell entering the apartment was truly offensive.”
He needed me to swing by his house and clean up before they got there.
He refused to tell me what he needed to be cleaned up.
I arrived at his house a few hours before his parents arrived.
They were lined up in neat rows, surrounded by rags and cleaning solutions.
I used his kitchen tongs to pick everything up, threw them into bags, and hid them away.

“My hubby and I moved into a new home in Florida years ago.
The next-door neighbor was a recluse; no one EVER saw her.
She was a sweet, 90-year-old lady who warmly thanked me and invited me in.
Her house was dark, neat, and quiet…until I walked down the hall.
In one side room, a large computer and six huge monitors were running.
Turns out, she was a computer programming genius.
She traded stocks from all over the world and closely monitored overseas markets.
She died four years later, but I’ll never forget her.”
“I dated this girl on and off during senior year.
I set my hand down, and it kind of went under the couch and grazed something hard.
I figured it was a dog toy and reached to retrieve it.
My hand was wrapped around the grip of an AR-15.
Apparently, her dad had over 100 guns of various kinds all over the house.”

“I walked into a house for a dogsitting gig meet-and-greet.
The lady greeted me at the door and was super nice.
We walked into the kitchen, and I noticed a baseball cap with a dinosaur skull on it.
I thought they probably just liked dinosaurs.
I got some trilobite and plant fossils.
Now I’m going on a paleontological dig with them.”
“A Girl Scout troop leader had a house full of taxidermy.
Her husband was quite the hunter and shot most of it himself.
Now, don’t get me wrong this was in Colorado, so the occasional taxidermy was fine.
But I’d never seen it on every available inch of every wall.”

“My wife and I were invited to lunch at her coworker’s home.
She was a lovely, quiet, and demure elementary school teacher, and we both really liked her.
When we got there, we saw that every room in her home had aquariums with snakes.
Dozens and dozens of snakes.
I’m not squeamish, but my wife REALLY doesn’t like snakes.”
“I locked myself out of my place once, so my neighbor invited me in for coffee.
There were pictures of his ex everywhere, and I’m not kidding.
They’d broken up a year ago.”

“I was seeing the most beautiful woman you could imagine.
My son needed to pee, so we went inside her house.
The place was musty, with fruit flies everywhere, but it didn’t look like acompletedisaster.
I was standing at the door, and my son came out of the bathroom crying.
I asked what was wrong, and he said, ‘The potty is gross.’
I told him it was okay and just to hurry up.
But the look on his face told me that something was actually wrong.
I followed him into the bathroom to ensure that everything was fine.
When I turned the corner and saw the bathroom, I about puked right there.”
One was wooden; the other was dark blue glass.
What do YOU collect?’
I don’t even know how we replied to that.
The whole time at their house was just one weird ass fever dream."
She got engaged, so she and her fiance moved into a new house.
I visited her new place, and she told me about her proposal.
Her fiance had proposed with the ring atop one of those sad-looking clown figurines.
I’m not scared of clowns, but I don’t love them.
She said, ‘Wait, do you not know that I collect clowns?’
I had not known."
