Why this mum’s photo of her messy house caused an uproar
Do you ever see something online and think to yourself, “What compelled that person to share such a thing on the internet?”
Well, that’s what thousands of forum users were left wondering after a mum shared a picture of her living room, asking if it was “a mess by your standards”.
“This is my living room. Now matter how much I tidy it, it always seems to end up at this point,” Mumsnet user WildFeralLife wrote.
“To me, it’s neither tidy nor messy. Similar to the rest of my house really! For some reason I can never get a totally spotless house! Ever!”
Well, the response to her question was a resounding “yes”, and some people certainly didn’t hold back.
“It’s a tip, and I say that as a disorganised person,” one forum user wrote, with another saying they “couldn’t relax” in such a messy room.
Another took issue with the jacket hanging on the door, saying, “It’s giving me anxiety.”
However, there were a few people out of the 522 commenters that stood up for WildFeralLife. One woman shared a photo of her own messy living room to cheer WildFeralLife up.
“It’s not a tip,” another woman said. “Anyway, I’m slightly creeped out by houses that look like a show home all the time. I like houses to be lived in, especially if there are children and pets there.”
But the negative comments clearly got to WildFeralLife, who shared a follow-up image of the room all tidied up, adding that she “was a bit offended” at the backlash.
It sure does look better, but we’re not sure what this woman was expecting. If you’re going to ask people on the internet for their opinions, you’d better prepare yourself to be inundated!
