33 of the Wildest ‘You Live Like This?’ Moments

‘Dude was living in a mold-infested house’
33 of the Wildest ‘You Live Like This?’ Moments

When designing a dark-toned home, most people rely on paint, Gothic decor or wallpaper to transform their space into a monochromatic paradise. But one Redditor’s friend isn’t like most people, taking a page from J.K. Rowling’s book of deadly design instead. 

“The first time I stepped into the house, it was like stepping into a black room,” they recalled of their pal’s “charred coloured” walls. Upon closer inspection, they realized there was no store-bought pigment at play — their home’s interior was entirely coated in black mold. “Dude was living in a Mold infested house,” the Redditor continued. “When I went home, I took the longest shower I ever took and washed my clothes there and then.”

The jury is still out on whether those homeowners are alright, but they’re not the only ones whose living situation has sparked concern or awe from a guest. These are folks’ wildest “you live like this?” moments, the craziest of which involve tales of empty cabinets, junk food galore and screaming matches over pizza.

Nobody_Wins_13 Зу ago Went over to friends for a birthday. Was warned they were ordering takeout because they don't cook. Got there and they had no dishes or pots or pans. No glasses. No coffee cups. Literally none. The kitchen cabinets were full of random things like a Pictionary game and some batteries and spare light bulbs. Disposable plates. A drawer full of plastic spoons and forks. 9.6K Award Share ...
cold08 3y ago I spent a weekend with a friend who was the youngest of 8 boys. I come from a very soft spoken household, and all 10 of these people would communicate by yelling. Now they were a loving household and there was no abuse going on, but until that point in my life, really the only time someone yelled in my presence was when someone was in danger, or someone was very very angry, and here these guys were screaming at each other to get a slice of pizza. I understand, when there's 10 of you, 9 of
got_got_need Зу ago My school friend lived on a farm in Wales. The first time I went round a sheep ran down the stairs as we were going in through the front door. There was also a newborn baby lamb warming in the Aga because it was struggling to stay alive. 5.3K Award Share ...
 3y ago as a young boy back in the 70s I visited a friend from school's house. it smelled different from any house I had ever been in. which was mostly my parents friends homes and my relative's homes.

 3y ago Не accidentally broke a plate when he was doing dishes & his dad didn't scream at him or hit him or threaten to ground him or anything. The first thing his dad said was to ask my friend if he was hurt. Shouldn't be shocking, but to me it was. 13K Award Share ...

billyslits 3y ago My friend was like, Want a Kit-Kat? I said sure.

amalgamas 3y ago Was invited to a friends house in high school and that's when I learned that his parents weren't just well off like mine were, they were fucking loaded. His house was not a house, it was a compound. They had the main house, a pool house (where he lived), a casita (where his older sister lived), and a club house. They had an 8 car garage AND a yacht garage, with their goddamn yacht in it at the time. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough they had water way that ran in front of their house
Scnewbie08 Зу ago I didn't know that central heating and AC was a thing till I was around 10. Sleepover a friends house and was perplexed at the noise of it and the vents on the ceiling. And being there felt weird, everywhere you went was the same temperature. At home we had a wood stove in main living area and in summer fans. 1.5K Award Share ...

TheW83 Зу ago The first girl I dated while in college had her own house (which I thought was super awesome considering she was only 2 years older than me). It was absolutely filthy. Not just garbage everywhere but just random stuff laying around and zero organization. She was definitely a hoarder. We broke up after about a month but a few years later hooked up again and her house was waaay better. I'm glad it wasn't a permanent thing for her. 3.1K Award Share ...  3y ago Something about this redemption arc is funny yet satisfying 1.5K Award

RepresentativeStooj 3y ago Few years back, was invited to my ex's house to meet her family for the first time. Walked in and got hugs from her mum, sister, and nephew. Got a handshake and a pat on the shoulder from her dad. All of this completely threw me off, suddenly realised how little affection I got back at my own house and had me questioning whether I was doing enough to show I cared about someone. However you guys show affection, whether it's through compliments, physically, letters or cheesy gestures, let people know they're loved. (P.S. Please don't be
phoenixfeet72 3y ago I remember as a young kid (4/5yo) going to a friend's house and being astounded at how big their house was. Her dad was a high court judge (and they also had a swimming pool! In England!!) I came home and immediately told my mum that her 'conservatory was big enough to ride a bike in!' 'Big enough to ride a bike in' has now become a family expression. 523 Award Share ...

Mandoart-Studios 3y ago I was invited to a friend's home, the entire house was rotting, molding and basically falling apart, but when I entered his room everything was fancy, high tech and expensive.

Gealach95 3y ago I remember the first time I saw a healthy marriage. I went to a friend's house for a sleepover in 6th grade, and the next morning her parents were making breakfast and joking around and kissing and I was absolutely shocked. I'd never seen that kind of intimacy from a married couple before. I strive to be like them in my relationship with my husband every day 807 Award Share ...
danielstover Зу ago I remember when I was a kid, like 3rd grade, new kid at school and I hit it off and become friends. I went to his house and he had ALL the sugary and processed snacks. Capri sun, pop tarts, freezer pizza, chef Boyardee, dunkaroos, you name it - All those name brand things more or less marketed to kids. I grew up in a very rural area, and my Mom was adamant about us having fresh fruit and veggies, she was a frequent shopper of local produce markets. We never DIDN'T have treats (most common was ice cream

Comprehensive-Tip819 3y ago This isnt really shocking but I was surprised as a kid. One time I went to a friends house where most of the house was sparkling, it smelled wonderfull and it was extremly neat and clean, not a single piece of dust or dirt. However when I walked into their bedroom I was surprised at just how messy it was, it wasnt only messy clothes and items on the floor, there was dust everywhere and plenty of dirt build up. And it was the exact same for all of the other siblings rooms. I guess that I
usarina16 3y ago My best friend in high school was living with hoarder parents who would leave the Christmas tree up all year round and only replaced it the week before Christmas. They even left last year's presents on the fireplace almost all year. It was better than my home so I just kind of adapted. 324 Award Share ...

But different when you go over for dinner and there's a sex slave in a cage and sex toys every where. 830 Award Share ... GetOutOfThePlanter 3y ago Can......can I feed the slave? Is he safe to pet? 671 Award Share ...
AlustriousFall 3y ago Went to my friend's house when I was like 9 was playing hide and seek, went into a forbidden parents room cause it's only cheating if you get caught. The wall had pistols rifles swords and other cool as fuck shit I stood in awe and then left without ever mentioning it to my parents, eventually they showed me it themselves but my god was that a core memory for me. Also for context I live in the UK so this is mad rare for us. 748 Award Share ...
thayaht Зу ago I grew up cash poor. When my parents had money, they bought steak. Special occasions meant special food. So when my sister and I were invited for a sleepover at our rich friends' house, we were so excited because we thought we were in for a great night of high-class eatin'. Big expensive fridge with one of the first ice makers I had ever seen was empty except for condiments and fast food leftovers. I believe we had fast food for dinner that night. Big disappointment!

AmigoDelDiabla 3y ago In-laws didn't throw things away. Not necessarily hoarders, but not far off. Just kept so much shit in piles around the house. Honestly don't know how people live like that. It makes me physiologically uncomfortable. 567 Award Share ... + 25 more replies

Illusions_ofgrandeur 3y ago I went over to my friend's house for the first time and was surprised to find out that her parents would argue in front of everyone, including me. They had no self control when it came to that. In one instance I was actually involved in one of the arguments and had to calm her step-mother down. It was really weird for me to see that since my whole childhood whenever anyone came to my house my parent would act normal and never argue in front of guests. I just found it really strange since I am
 Зу ago The clutter. The casual disregard for their possessions. I grew up in a we could eat off the floor and a we don't have much and that's why we respect what we have household. Huge shock for 7-year-old me to see what I now realize was borderline hoarding. 361 Award Share ...
certifeyedbimbo 3y ago A sex dungeon in the basement of my neighbours. They are goody two shoes who are very religious. To look at them you'd think they are prudes, but from what I saw they are the complete opposite. I stumbled upon their sex dungeon when both bathrooms they had were in use and I really had to go. The wife said I could use their washroom they had downstairs. As I was walking in their basement I thought I saw a sex swing out of the corner of my eye, so | stopped and saw that this, with
AbsurdFormula0 3y ago The first time I stepped into the house, it was like stepping into a black room. I could see patches of colour on the walls but the house walls were basically charred coloured. Didn't think too much of it at the time but at one point I was bored and alone and took a closer look at the charred walls and discovered that it wasn't burnt, It was MOLD. Dude was living in a Mold infested house. When I went home, I took the longest shower I ever took and washed my clothes there and then. Felt
TheLesserWombat Зу ago It's pretty tame in comparison to the rest of these stories, but it took me like three visits to my friend's house before I realized they didn't have any mirrors. Still not sure if it's a deliberate choice or what the deal is, but it's kinda weird to me. 4.6K Award Share ... Fabulous_Title 3y ago Vampires 3.1K Award Share ...
