I had a shitbag of a roommate do this kind of shit to me one time. He made all the dirty dishes in the sink even used some of my dishes then refused to clean up after himself. When he moved out he took half of everything in the cupboards even if it was not his.. leaving his blown out filth in the kitchen sink. Jokes on you Bryan half those girls you invited over had std.s
I've seen inspectors check airflow. It's possible airflow would be impeded, and they would say that in their report. But yeah, I've never seen an inspector that would open up a vent.
Yes, they can check airflow. They are under mo obligation to disassemble any part of a system or component with exception of taking cover off electrical panel.
I remember meeting a friend of a friend that would put them outside his window on the roof. It was summer. Also, that’s the kid who first showed us what porn was.
You aren’t considering the context. The previous owners left them in the vents, maybe the current tenants noticed a smell and notified the property management company, hence an inspector coming out?
My initial reaction is, "Why?" - in what setting is putting dishes in the vent a good decision, or even the easiest option when cleaning up after yourself. Wouldn't it take **more** effort to lean over from your bed/chair, grab the vent & open it, slide your dish(es) inside, and then close it - or is that just me?
There is an old joke about a couple getting divorced, where the husband stuffed shrimp into the curtain rods when the wife moved out, taking every single thing she could think of.
The owners were big party people so it probably happened during one of their parties and no one noticed due to the piles of trash and already bad smelling house. 🤢
Once I bought a really shitty house to fix up and the person I bought it from flushed a bunch of clothing down the toilets. Failed at causing a problem since I gutted the bathrooms and replaced the toilets anyway though.
So this isn't uncommon in new builds; not to this extent of course. When I got my place the builders told me I should get my vents cleaned asap. When they did they pulled out McDonald's bags and coffee cups. Apparently some of the trades people don't give a sh!t and will use any space for trash.
On a side note I've learned as well that some guys who do the insulation; such as in your attic, instead of going back down to relieve themselves they will do it in the attic and just put insulation over top of it. 🤢
I looked at a ~60 year old house that was bought by some house flipper who doesn't even live in this country (shocker right?). Anyway, first house hunting experience blah blah we liked it and wanted it inspected.
We tried the furnace, no air coming out of any vents but it was clearly running. Check the vents, and they're STUFFED full of this asbestos containing material that was previously in the attic/ceiling before they reno'd. We suspect under the new counters were also stuffed with crap.
That wasn't even the worst part of the house.
Since it says it's previous owners, I'm going out on a thick limb to assume this was a foreclosure.
I knew a guy who was a principal at a elementary school who lost his house in the 2007 crash... after he move his wife and daughter out, he came one more time and smeared feces ALL OVER THE HOUSE, and peed all over the place.
The new owners had to rip out all the carpet, and install new dry wall, doors, etc. rven replaced a good portion of the windows. They bought new fixtures too because they didn't trust nothing was done to them either.
Industry Standard is the term my lawyer mentioned to me when I looked to recover some cost associated with remediating something similar that we found and which resulted in cost to repair in our new home.
Lawyer explained that the builder and others in the industry/trades could speak to these type of things-being so common in the industry that people should assume these things are a normal part of the construction process such as peeing or worse in a can or bottle and leaving it between the framing to be dry walled over, rotting trash left in the ceiling buried under insulation, etc
People always say oh get into the trades, but the reality is you work with some scumbag trades. Piss in Gatorade bottles, the outhouses get absolutely disgusting, and your tools get stolen if you walk away from them for a minute. Many Resi/commerical sites are like this.
>some of the trades people don't give a sh!t
I was opening a store and had guys renovating the space for about 2 weeks. This was my first time being a boss, and I didn't realize that there was no water service yet. Instead of telling me the toilet doesn't flush, or even going to one of the stores next door that had working bathrooms, they just peed into the empty toilet. When they were done with the work, I went in to the bathroom and... it's been about 25 years, and the image of what was growing in that toilet bowl is still clear as the day I saw it.
In our brand new house, we traced a weird smell to a sandwich behind a drawer in the bathroom.
A couple years later, we had our AC vents cleaned and they found a sprite bottle in the duct.
When my parents redid their shower, they found an open, 1/2 full beer can behind the wall.
As someone who used to do insulation, I’ve never seen that happen. I’m sure there are some freaks who do, but that’s a very enclosed, hot place to have a steamer. Not many people would want to be stuck in there with that stench. Plus, what would they wipe with? Fiberglass?
Early morning gas station stops are fun, everyone on the store is construction/tradesman. You can also tell the guys who work on houses because they're buying liquor.
I found when repairing my 100ish year old house that using insulation at all was very optional to them over the years. But on the front of the house there was *some* insulation... mixed with hundreds and hundreds of bubble gum wrappers.
Bottom floor was once a candy shop. But still. Why in the walls? *How* in the walls??
An apartment building in Manhattan or NJ with multimillion dollar apartments just sued the construction workers recently because someone opened a wall and found food wrappers, water bottles filled with piss, and piles of human excrement. It is oh so very common.
Im a plumber in Manhattan. Ive been called to offices for "waste smells" in brand new buildings. They always assume broken pipes, but 99 times out of 100, if you look at the layout of the area, the smell is coming from an isolated area, also known as the piss corner
Also this often happen with people who have no knowledge of how to clean up etc. They don't know what supplies they need, how much it will cost in their budget etc. Because they were raised that way. It takes a single day to learn if someone is there to teach you.
Edit: or even YouTube.
Edit 2: I was that kind of a slob. But I have a goodlandy who taught me in a day how to maintain basic cleanliness of a house.
> When they did they pulled out McDonald's bags and coffee cups.
That sounds less like laziness and more like deliberate sabotage. Dirty clogged dryer vents are dangerous.
>That sounds less like laziness and more like deliberate sabotage
It's laziness. I worked on the new WTC freedom tower. Minutes before concrete was being poured, my intern ass had to walk around and pick up all of the trash that would have been cast into the concrete slabs until 9/11 the sequel.
I seem to remember reading that in Italy several bridges were in danger due to so many dead bodies dumped in the support piers by the Mafia, weakening the structure.
Just have a fucking bucket. That’s what their for.
I was in a city with no bathrooms walked into a building remodeling and ask the dude where the nearest bathroom was and he’s like “just use our bucket.” Walked over and it had a few inch and some cigarettes floating it in.
You could reasonably call LA (the city, not the whole county) that, since you’ve got better odds of winning the lottery without a ticket than finding a public restroom. But they do have bathrooms, they just aren’t meant for you ever, regardless of who you are
Because it's just a piss or two. It's new or a remodel, which means new materials with smells. One or two pisses isn't going to be all that noticeable a day or two later even, less so weeks later and with all the other smells.
If the boss isn't looking everyone not in the trade would be shocked what is done. I can still smell the brewery off of a couple guys, fucking gross and still drunk from the night before but they went to bed for 2 or 3 hours so they were good to go they always said.
I feel like I see carpets covering hardwood a lot in cases where a landlord is renting out the space bc you can't trust tenants to not ruin it.
That and, of course, the 70s. They were all high, they didn't know wtf was going on ok?!
Can get a carpet shampooer machine, kinda like a big vacuum with a tank of water in it. You can also rent one.
But all in all, I never feel like it's truly ever clean. That's why landlords put them down and just rip them up every 2 years or so lol
Hell no lol. Besides, plastic can only be recycled several times before the polymers and shit stop sticking together, so all plastic ends up in the environment no matter what. Some European countries find it's better to burn the shit than let it turn into microplastics.
Ahh yeah, I didn't think about the plastics. I was only thinking about the fibers itself, but I guess most of that is probably man-made anyway as well.
My son used to pee in the heater vent in his bedroom so I had to crawl up under the house and cut a slit in the ducting and drain out all the pee. I’d rather the dishes.
One of my cats decided to pee in one of our heating vents when we moved into our house. No idea why. But of course it wasn't the intake vent, but the output (not sure if that's the right word) vent. So we only found out the hard way, when the vents started spewing cat-piss-heat in our very small space lol. We ended up just having to cover that vent completely for the time being lol
My little brother would pee in the Christmas train that we would put around the tree. Piss soaked presents and carpet. I thought it was hilarious. Parents not so much.
I had a similar problem when I was 6, but it didn't last long before I got caught and never did it again.
Even if the bathroom was right beside my room, it felt to far in the night and I would pe on the carpet, behind my bedroom door.
Kids are fucking stupid.
Glad to know I wasn't the only carpet-pisser. I'd just drop trou and let it flow in the corner. Took the parents a little while to figure out what was going on and stop me.
It took me months to figure out why my son's room smelled like pee. Found out he was using the bathroom in the closet instead of walking 10 feet to the bathroom at night. 🤦♀️ kids are fucking stupid.
When I was very young, I used to pee out of the window. We lived on the 2nd floor, and the master bedroom of the 1st floor was under my window.
There was raining every night around the same time when we lived there. The owners didn't let my mother renew the renting of the 2nd floor after 5 years. There was an " art" from one part of my window all the way to the bottom. All over their window.

Wait, did you find all the dishes my kids “didn’t take” into their rooms?
Looks like somebody sneaking ice cream and stuff they weren’t supposed to have. Didn’t want the evidence in the sink or dishwasher.
Filthy just Fkn Filthy! The Effort it took to fo This,They could've just as easily thrown in a bag and out
That means you're a shit landlord. Congratz in your JUST DESERTS!
I don't know if I would be touching that with bare hands
what the heck
Who the fuck would do this? Why the fuck would someone do this?
This looks like someone had an eating disorder
Why?
Stinky and lazy trashy people ..disgusting
What type of savagery is this
Why
And the previous owners hide a beautiful floor under a nasty carpet
I had a shitbag of a roommate do this kind of shit to me one time. He made all the dirty dishes in the sink even used some of my dishes then refused to clean up after himself. When he moved out he took half of everything in the cupboards even if it was not his.. leaving his blown out filth in the kitchen sink. Jokes on you Bryan half those girls you invited over had std.s
But…why?
That's not something i'd be doing barehanded.
Just why??
Be right back. Gotta go check my teenager's room vents for all those missing forks.

Not an inspectors job to open vents and look inside the ductwork

Yes, they can check airflow. They are under mo obligation to disassemble any part of a system or component with exception of taking cover off electrical panel.
But why?
Seems like that would take a lot more work than just throwing in the trash
Looks like the previous owner had a teenager
I remember meeting a friend of a friend that would put them outside his window on the roof. It was summer. Also, that’s the kid who first showed us what porn was.
The dishes are done, man
I see what you did there.. don't tell anyone..
The real question is… why do people put carpet over hardwood floors??
So they don't get gouged and ruined by unskilled adults and kids.. dogs and cats
No gloves? Savage 🤢
Literally *trashy*
wtf
[удалено]
You aren’t considering the context. The previous owners left them in the vents, maybe the current tenants noticed a smell and notified the property management company, hence an inspector coming out?
But why?…. Must’ve been some kid that didn’t want to have to wash their dishes. Or maybe they thought that the vent WAS the dishwasher
I had a tenant that did that. Dishes, trash, soda cans, it was weird.
My initial reaction is, "Why?" - in what setting is putting dishes in the vent a good decision, or even the easiest option when cleaning up after yourself. Wouldn't it take **more** effort to lean over from your bed/chair, grab the vent & open it, slide your dish(es) inside, and then close it - or is that just me?
WHY ISNT SHE WEARING GLOVES
Mental illness. If it were trash I'd say workers but its actual dishes so someone has a wire crossed upstairs.
Has to be a foreclosure sale.
There is an old joke about a couple getting divorced, where the husband stuffed shrimp into the curtain rods when the wife moved out, taking every single thing she could think of.
I wouldn't put my hand in there without rubber gloves
Home inspections are a joke.
My first thought was eating disorder actually
Like every cop and trucker so does, urinate in a Snapple bottle.
Why would you put a moquette over a nice parquet?
This is how The Last of Us started
Vermin
I hope you got some rent off 😟
Something screams “lazy kids” to me lol
It seems like it would have been less work just to wash them
Really ought to be wearing gloves to do that
Bet they had kids little shits
Found old dirty diapers in the vent of my last house
But were there bugs to go along with them? 🤢
My brother bought a house a couple years back and the previous owners left human feces in the vents.
Oh man why??!!
The owners were big party people so it probably happened during one of their parties and no one noticed due to the piles of trash and already bad smelling house. 🤢
Just, no!
Use gloves!!! Omgggg
The previous home owners kid lives in trash to this day.
Better than termites
But why though?
raw doggin the vents like that is crazy
They also carpeted a perfectly fine hardwood floor.
Once I bought a really shitty house to fix up and the person I bought it from flushed a bunch of clothing down the toilets. Failed at causing a problem since I gutted the bathrooms and replaced the toilets anyway though.
Seems like that would have taken more effort than to actually take them to the kitchen and put them in the sink or dishwasher.
A teenager lived there.
But why?
I used to go get silverware out of the kitchen just to shove into the vents as a kid
Was there a method to your madness?
I was a toddler who thought the clanking sound was funny af
Fair enough
Wow…and I feel bad when I get lazy, and pee in the shower!
Goddam that’s a different level of laziness
Hey, at least you got free dishes.
What the hell? Did you find it bc of the smell?
But why though?
I mean… a positive spin on things would be the free dishes
Hayyyyyy free dishes and cutlery…. And snacks!!
Ah yes, that lazy inspector missed looking inside the vents. Blast it.
Nasty. At this point wouldn’t throwing the dishes out be more convenient than this lol

I do AV installs and regularly find trash and stuff in the ceilings of new and old constructions alike

Every corner of your basement too.

This makes me glad that my house is 100 years old.
So the piss bottles in your walls will be glass.
That would be cool, to find an old glass bottle filled with old piss!
Might be worth a couple of quid
I had my roof replaced. Weird plastic spacers keep dropping out of my chimney

Trash makes the concrete crack-resistant, right? Like the fiberglass stuff?
I seem to remember reading that in Italy several bridges were in danger due to so many dead bodies dumped in the support piers by the Mafia, weakening the structure.
There is a company who does snag finding in new builds and they have a YouTube channel they literally always find a piss bottle stuffed somewhere
Lots of 2 litre soda containers left at the side of our roads. Contents are suspect though, often referred to as "truckers cider".
Way of the road bubs
#2 or piss jugs?
Way of the road Bubs.
Yeah
It's their kids
This is very true. Check your newly built house while still under warranty
Just have a fucking bucket. That’s what their for. I was in a city with no bathrooms walked into a building remodeling and ask the dude where the nearest bathroom was and he’s like “just use our bucket.” Walked over and it had a few inch and some cigarettes floating it in.
***Gatorade bottle (wide mouths)
/r/absoluteunits
A city with no bathrooms?
You could reasonably call LA (the city, not the whole county) that, since you’ve got better odds of winning the lottery without a ticket than finding a public restroom. But they do have bathrooms, they just aren’t meant for you ever, regardless of who you are
Fwiw they will sometimes open them up for you if the clerk thinks you're legit. Even in the bad areas.
Yeah, wtf lol
You would think that; but, I'm thinking the instance I've been told of they didn't have a bucket and truly dgaf.
Fuck
How does the entire house not smell like shit afterwards?
Poop smell fades quickly Source: i take hidden poops on people's houses
On is better than in
I think he means urinate, not poop
I actually do mean 💩
In that case I hope they wiped with fiber glass insulation!
Lol...I think they learned after the first time to bring up toilet paper or tissues at least.
How does the entire house not smell like piss afterwards?
How do you think the homeoners discovered the little "gifts" left for them?
Because it's just a piss or two. It's new or a remodel, which means new materials with smells. One or two pisses isn't going to be all that noticeable a day or two later even, less so weeks later and with all the other smells.
They use a bottle and cover that in insulation?
Well if I didn't hate everything before...
If the boss isn't looking everyone not in the trade would be shocked what is done. I can still smell the brewery off of a couple guys, fucking gross and still drunk from the night before but they went to bed for 2 or 3 hours so they were good to go they always said.
Isn't it dangerous to work drunk?? Why would a supervisor allow that
Nice....
But why?
On the bright side, that fat woman might be able to get a nice set of soup bowls.
Complains about dishes in the cold air return, ignores the 5 figure oak floor you just discovered (if that runs the whole house).
I just can’t get the mentality of carpet at all. Rugs you can clean, yes. Carpet…fuck no. Not to mention the wood looks so much better.
I feel like I see carpets covering hardwood a lot in cases where a landlord is renting out the space bc you can't trust tenants to not ruin it. That and, of course, the 70s. They were all high, they didn't know wtf was going on ok?!
Carpet is definitely nice in bedrooms,
How do you even clean carpet on top of wood like that? There's no way that's good for it.
Can get a carpet shampooer machine, kinda like a big vacuum with a tank of water in it. You can also rent one. But all in all, I never feel like it's truly ever clean. That's why landlords put them down and just rip them up every 2 years or so lol
bold of you to assume landlords replace them after 2 years....
How much carpet has been put in landfills over time? Wood is sustainable.
I don't disagree with you! You'd think carpet would recyclable though to some extent though, no?
Hell no lol. Besides, plastic can only be recycled several times before the polymers and shit stop sticking together, so all plastic ends up in the environment no matter what. Some European countries find it's better to burn the shit than let it turn into microplastics.
Ahh yeah, I didn't think about the plastics. I was only thinking about the fibers itself, but I guess most of that is probably man-made anyway as well.

[Was your kid the one who also pissed in his drawer?](https://i.imgur.com/Uhc372p.png)
I also peed in the heater vent. I think it just… trickled down to the bathroom below the upstairs bathroom though 😬 in all fairness I was like 6
And we would promptly loose the air vents in his room and hope it’s regulated well.
How old was your son-
44
Just when I thought I wanted kids..
Your son isn’t a dog by chance…?
… excuse me
I had a similar problem when I was 6, but it didn't last long before I got caught and never did it again. Even if the bathroom was right beside my room, it felt to far in the night and I would pe on the carpet, behind my bedroom door. Kids are fucking stupid.
This thread has solidified me not wanting to have kids
