Plumbers, what was the most bone chilling thing you've seen in someone's home?

We have a life-ish sized skeleton that glows in the dark. It’s stored hanging from a loop on the top of its head in a utility cupboard. A few tradies have opened that cupboard with a “WTF?” If you’ve got to have skeletons in your closet, make sure they glow in the dark.

This is my mom's coworker story. They worked at an extended stay hotel. It was pretty common to see drugs, sex workers and the like on these properties. One night a pretty nervous 20+ year old checked in. After a few days no one had seen him or heard from him or even seen him leave room. My mom's friend went to clean the room. She opened the doors to a horror show. Blood sprayed all on the walls,blankets,beds, and even ceiling. She was freaked out and went around the bed to find the kid with his throat cut nearly ear from ear. That is when he gasped,spraying out more blood towards her. She screamed and called the police and ambulance. She was told to take a 10 min break and go back to cleaning

Oh c'mon people. Take care of your pets! I don't understand why some people just have pets, sometimes an absurd number of pets, just to neglect them.

"Plumbers, what's the most chilling thing you've seen in someone's house?" "Air Conditioner."

I'm a gardener in England. One of my elderly customers neighbour had a greenhouse which was full of weed one year. I mean like the greenhouse was a solid block of weed - I don't think the guy expected it to grow that big. I'd noticed the smell loooong before it was visible above the fence, but eventually my customer asked if it was weed and I confirmed it was. He was totally cool and unbothered by it, and just told me a story about how a house two doors down in the other direction had been raided by the police for having a large scale grow going on some years prior. A few weeks later the weed was gone. I assume the guy either got scared or realised he'd messed up his grow by getting it that big, because it wasn't flowering yet so there's no way he'd harvested it. Bit of a shame, really. I have a friend who used to live in central London, and she had a neighbour who grew massive plants in his tiny garden which were visible to more than a dozen other houses, and nobody cared. Most people aren't bothered by someone minding their own business growing a bit of weed while being a decent person.

"The whole state of oklahoma is the middle of nowhere." Goshdarnet, that got me, and ill be darned if it isnt the flippin truth. But wow, i wasn't expecting the eagle

15:31 And THAT'S how you make a good joke. A positive/neutral story and the fact you rarely make jokes means it completely sucker-punched me in the best way.

So… who else here will no longer feel self-conscious about having too much dirty laundry in the hamper or decorations from a holiday that’s already over, when a plumber needs to come over and fix something? Because I’m pretty sure my house and its bat stickers and fake skull on a shelf don’t even place with plumbers’ weird stories.

I have great sympathy for those whose job takes them into hoarder houses. My father was a hoarder. When I left, he'd filled a 4 car garage and about 4 sheds. When I had to go back there after my mother's funeral, there was a narrow track from the front door through the living room, the kitchen and the laundry to the bathroom. Before my mother died, there would have been just enough room beside that track for her rented hospital bed. My sister inherited the house. She too is a hoarder.

Fargo is a major college town. The guy drying stuff in the closet, a lot of states allow medical license to possess and grow “plants” for own use. For about a week after harvest you hang the stuff to dry out and usually break it down to cutting the branches off the main stem and hang. It takes about a week of living with the SMELL until it dries out enough to chunk and cure. (String a decorative CHAIN from the home center, use ornament hooks or bent jumbo paper clips to hang to dry)

This isn't about plumbers

BABY WAKE UP UNDERSPARKED POSTED

North Dakotan here, every time you hear of ND on any of these videos, alcohol is always involved 😂😂

with the maggots in the oven story, It really depends on what type of oven it is (YES, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OVENS.) it could be a gas oven or an electric over, really depends.

The hair story is interesting because I actually know people who save hair, but for traditional hair styles where you use them to support your hair, not for. Um. saving.

What I like about your narrations is that when you get to the information talking about gross or disturbing information, you subtly change your intonation to perfectly mimic someone horrified, but keeping oneself together in order to get the information across properly. You usually have a great timing for it too, but it’s hard to put a precise description on what about your timing makes it so great.

Im guessing this is gonna be a lot of adult stuff, a lot of drugs, and a few really weird things.

To be fair, if I had a lot of extra money I would totally spoil my pets too.

Story 13, narrator's reaction was my EXACT reaction lmao. Saying my thoughts as I thought them.

I have a sort of opposite to this. We had a window company near our house. It was there for years and we used them a couple of times but I hadn't needed work in years. So I was in need of new windows and looked up their number and decided, for the heck of it, to look at their reviews. The reviews were in order of newest to oldest. The newest, and last, review was about how a woman had called them to have windows replaced. While the guy was there he asked if he could use the bathroom. After which he came out of the bathroom hurriedly and excused himself that he had to leave. The woman found his behavior a little odd and went into the bathroom. There was explosive diarrhea all over the bathroom. She attempted to call the company to get the person to send cleaners to take care of the mess but they would not answer. A handful of days later I passed the company while driving down the street and there was an "Out of Business" sign in their window.
