Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

The absolute worst part about this picture is the gas stove with a fake vent hood
Maybe those are fake cabinets that are just hiding the channel for the vent?
Probably not, but it's nice to dream I guess.
They're not fake since they have hinges, but the wall they're against looks to be exterior considering the placement of the window, so they might have an actual vent and some extra storage around the outlet.
It's so you can easily get to the vent for maintenance or repairs, I've seen this sort of "fake" cabinet before.
Maybe but I've seen a lot of real cabinets above these too. The house I grew up in was like this and my GF had one in the house she was renting too. Seems very common unfortunately.
This is what I have almost always had in my place. Almost identical range hood with a cupboard around the vent tubing to give some storage for spices and shit. I assumed that's how it was in the picture cause that's literally all I've known.
I would advise against keeping spices there. Heat and humidity are bad for them. Or store most of your spices somewhere else and only small amounts near the stove.
I keep my tamale steamer/giant stock pot in there because it fits nowhere else and I don't use it often. Also the coffee pot from my old coffee maker, as insurance against breaking the one that came with my new coffee maker. It's an awkward space, perfect for awkward items.
It's too small to fit anything else up there and I don't have anywhere else to put them unfortunately
I mean, it could be a good fake and the hinges are just there to really sell it, but yeah, that seems super unlikely
How did you know the hood is fake? Mine has a cabinet above it too but the hood duct is run through the cabinet and boxed in leaving room around it to still store things
It looked too thin to be venting. I've lived in places with hoods like that which just blow the hot air in your face
Fake hoods have a vent on the front to helpfully blow the steam and fumes back into your face. This doesn’t appear to have that, so it’s probably real.
