House hunting is a PITA
I had such high hopes on Saturday and they have all been crushed. CRUSHED I say. We either like the house but hated the land or loved the land but hated the house. Ugh. We are looking at 9 houses this Saturday. I hope we like something!

LOL I'm not like that. I know I can change a chandelier. I did look at one house where EVERY room was wallpaper. I HATE wallpaper. If I had loved the house, I probably would have dealt with it, but the house smelled like smoke and cats and was awful anyway.
I was literally SCREAMING at the tv. And then H was reminded why imoan don't do reality tv. Because I'd be hoarse after watching an episode of Real Housewives or Jersey Shore.
My favorite was the couple who were living with mom and dad, had like a $100k limit, but wanted a f00king gorgeous, completely updated, house. The wife was the worst. Beggars can't be choosers, aholes!

imoan, my H's new favorite show is Property Brothers for that exact reason. The premise is that these two Canadian brothers (one is a RE agent and the other is a contractor or something) go with this couple to find a disasterous house on the cheap that they can fix up. And the couple is STILL always like, 'omg there aren't stainless appliances!' YOU STUPID ASSH*LE, THE PREMISE OF THE SHOW IS THAT IT ISN'T GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT LATER. I scream so hard. lol.
Also, our fridge is acting kind of douchey, and we're probably going to buy the absolute cheapest stainless model there is just to sell the house, because YOU KNOW that's a true picture of what happens when idiots buy houses. oh nooo, the paint color!
I HATE when people complain about paint colors!! Um a gallon of paint is like $20. You can paint over it. Morons.
Awww, it's kinda like online dating, huh? Only you're dating houses.
Don't worry, you'll find something that rightfully puts all those other crap shacks to shame! TO SHAME!!!!

Do you watch this show because you enjoy having your blood pressure go up??
I agree with you though. Stupid.
I normally don't watch these shows for this very reason. But there was nothing else on so H just turned it on. It proved exactly why we don't watch those shows in my house.

Ha! Those House Hunters shows are so fake. They look at those houses after they've already purchased a house. They're told to remark about what they do/do not like about the properties so it'll be a learning experience for other sellers/buyers. Sometimes the people are pretty intelligent about what they notice - most of the time they aren't.
Anyways, cheer up ESD! I remember looking with BF and being so discouraged about what was in his price range. Then I happened to see a listing in a neighborhood we thought was out of the price range, and BOOM, there it was. We were able to look past the neon wall colors and smelly carpet in favor of a good neighborhood and nice floorplan.
That's almost every episode.
I want a reality show where we watch imoan rant and rave about reality shows.
It would be like MST3K!
ITA with this.
Also lint linker, great idea. Let's find a network to pitch that idea to!
It's probably pretty comical. I basically just rant the entire episode and respond to everything any of the morons say. There is a lot of "UGHHHHH!" and sighs and "f00k you, you stupid coont!"

Between this and Finnegan's Wake, you are now speaking with a very exaggerated Irish accent in my head.
LOL! Since they removed the ability for me to use a "v" and I had to start using the two O's... I always say it in my head with an Irish accent!

My superpower has been revealed. I control you with my mind.
We like to watch Holmes on Homes. He takes houses that have all of these problems that were missed when they purchased the home and fixes them.
FI and I decided that we should create a drinking game so every time on the show they say 'off gas' or 'on suite' we have to drink a shot.
YES!!!!! I totally watched this, while screaming @ the television too!! I was so infuriated (pointlessly, I know) that I had to turn the television off for a bit after. And I also felt so sorry for that poor realtor. Yes, I understand you guys want all of the major upgrades, BUT THEY'RE NOT NECESSITIES!!! And they DON'T come w/ a 100k home!!!!
Thanks for getting me all worked up again imoan.
