30 Times People Shared What Happened To Their Homes Online, And They Are Both Hilarious And Sad

The phrase "fix it in post" is used by movie producers who mess up a shot but don't want to go through the tedious process of redoing it. They trust that the editor will eliminate or correct the error in post-production to make it less evident to viewers.

Some of the posts on the r/WellThatSucks subreddit community can be likened to this scenario, as it seems that contractors also live by the same words as movie producers. However, when their plan B falls short, the outcomes are much greater than a broken willingness to accept some far-fetched situations.

Imagine a hallway that resembles a scene from the Titanic or a well located right beneath your floor. Despite the potential for surprises, a hot real estate market often leads buyers to forgo home inspections before purchasing a property, which can sometimes put them at risk.

And it’s not as if that’s the only problem you have to face; there are neighbors to consider as well. When you scroll through this online group, you will see many more reasons why homeowners end up sharing their stories here, with the most common being failed appliances and natural disasters.

Below, you’ll find 30 pictures of things you definitely don’t want to discover in your home.

It’s one thing to acquire a house, and it’s a completely different matter for that house to be in good condition. So this serves as an eye-opener: always conduct a house inspection!
