Image source: Complete-Lettuce-941, Alvaro Matzumura / unsplash (nott the actual photo) No books. I dated a guy that laughed at me for buying a bookshelf because “who the f**k reads books.” Edit to add: I truly didn’t mean to offend digital only readers. I read ebooks and I listen to a lot of audiobooks; I’m not Laura Ingalls Wilder over here living in a little house on the prairie. The comments that are snarky or trying to point out that I am old or that I’ve never heard of a library are also red flags.

Image source: orangutanDOTorg, Chan Chai Kee / unsplash (not the actual photo) Girl I went in a few dates with told me she’d let me come in next time bc her place was messy and didn’t want me to see. We went to her place after our next date – she asked me to wait outside while she tidied up a bit first – and her rabbit cage was in the middle of the floor and it had thrown st out of the cage all around the floor. She had several full garbage bags in the corner. I don’t remember the other details but it was filthy. This was after she had cleaned and also done a quick tidy. I’m not exactly Martha Stewart but the st just laying on the floor was too much for me.

House hunting and the homeowner was home at one place when our realtor was told he’d be out. He was pissed off we were there, but let us in and kind of hovered in the background while we looked around. There was barely any furniture and trash all over the floor. The walls were hung with about a dozen professional wedding portraits — all with the bride’s eyes gouged out. Then we saw the fist-sized holes in the walls and we got out of there.

They’re messy. Not like, clothes lying on the floor, but moldy dishes and trash all over the floor. I’m a bit of a neat freak, so that would drive me up the wall. If it’s due to mental health and they’re at least trying, I can empathize a bit. If it’s because they’re just lazy or make excuses they refuse to attempt to work on… no.
