26 Very Weird Things People Saw in Someone’s House

Some objects have multiple uses. For example, a toaster oven usually covers most tasks of both a toaster and an oven, and a good insulated thermos can keep its contents hot or cold. A coffin, however, is generally a single-use item designed for putting dead people in and that’s about it. 

That said, one Redditor told a story about a couple selling a coffin because they couldn’t decide what to use it for. The wife wanted it to be a coffee table that also held blankets, while the husband wanted it to be a gun rack. Apparently, the couple couldn’t agree on this — and, presumably, having two coffins in the home would be overkill — so they sold it.

The Redditor was self-aware enough to know that it’s not all that common to have a coffin in one’s home, which is why they posted this story in a Reddit thread about the weirdest things found in peoples’ houses. 

Just a heads up — many of these items are way weirder than coffins.

Wolfxskull 7y ago I did a window replacement on a big house in an expensive old area of town. It was lived in by an elderly lady until she passed. It was recent because all her things were still there, this place was a perfect time capsule of the 1960's each room had a different theme/vibe and there were manniquens set up all wearing 60's clothing in every room in different scenarios. It was really bizzarre. Kinda seemed like the lady was lonely or something.

ageniusawizard . 7y ago When I was in high school, my Mom came home from a garage sale with a coffin. It was a wooden antique from England. It was from the 19th century. It had screw holes in the top which lifted all the way off. The couple who sold it to her were getting rid of it because they disagreed about what purpose it should serve. The wife wanted to keep using it as a coffee table w/blanket storage and the husband wanted to turn it into a gun rack. My Mom thought it was great as a

 7y ago Probably late to the party, but I got invited to an old friend's house that I knew in high- school. Ran into him at the store, asked me if I was busy which I wasn't, so I popped over. Hadn't seen him in around 8 years or so. Get into his room, and there's a life- sized rubber sex doll (Think realDoll style) dressed up to look like his ex from around the same period. Hair was dyed, make-up was done, clothes all hand selected from local thrift shops to perfectly match and preserve her style from
