Spend a week in my shoes, and you’ll see some unbelievable things!

From style, to practicality, to overall weirdness – these photos show just how unique people can be!

I’ve seen a few wine cellars in my day, but this photo below is something very new!

Many houses in ‘certain’ pockets of the city (if I said “Little Italy,” would that be stereotyping or rude in any way?) have basement storage facilities for hundreds of jars of pasta sauce, and dozens of bottles of home-made wine.

But I have yet to see somebody with five kegs of beer in their basement:

When I first saw this bathtub, I said, “That’s amazing.”

Then I thought about it, and I said, “That’s ridiculous.”

But then I saw this photo again, and I’m back to my original thinking.  Maybe that’s the point of this tub – to keep the owner continually questioning whether he or she likes the fact that they turned a bedroom into a giant bathroom so they could purchase a giant tub and put it in the middle of the room.

This is what bothers me about fashion, style, and other things which I seem to know nothing about.

This couch is utterly useless.

This couch is simply for show, and has zero practical application.  This is the kind of couch that you’d see in a lobby, where nobody is actually expected to sit on the couch.  But in a house?  In a living room?  You simply MUST be kidding!  How could this be considered comfortable?  How do you even sit on a couch like this?  There’s almost no back to the couch, so you can’t exactly lean back and watch TV.  I don’t get it.  I don’t see why anybody would own this…

This takes the concept behind “shoe trees” to a whole new level.

I understand that cedar shoe trees will absorb moisture left behind in a shoe and help to keep the shape of the leather, but this is an electric shoe-tree that basically sucks up all the moisture that, God forbid, regular shoe trees might leave behind:

I tweeted about this last week.  Oh man, I can’t believe I just said that.  Yeah, I’m on Twitter.  I’m not proud of it, but Realtors across the city are gaining on me and my blog, and suddenly the whole first-mover-advantage thing isn’t quite as advantageous as it used to be.  Wow, that sure was a tangent…

Anyways, I went into a $1 Million condo and every single suit the guy had was from Moore’s!  Look, I’m not spendthrift either – I have several suits from Korry‘s myself, but they’re far better quality than anything from Moore’s!  How can you get a real suit for $100?

The best part is – that hanger you see that clearly says “Hugo Boss” – well, it had a Moore’s suit hanging from it.

As somebody re-tweeted (oh dear god…) last week, “How do you think he affords the payments on that million-dollar condo?”

This was awesome.

Below you see a feature sheet from an open house in Burlington.

Under “Exclusions,” they have crossed out the dining room chandelier, but left in the paper towel holder.  Wow, that must be a very sentimental paper towel holder!

So they excluded the exclusion?  That means it’s included, right?  Man, there sure are less confusing ways to advertise…

Folks, this next one might irk you, but I’ve never claimed to be the most culturally-sensitive guy on the planet.

In the business of real estate, we have some terms that could be offensive to some, and descriptive to others.  An agent in my office described a house as “Portuguese” the other day, but when she did so, everybody experienced agent in the room knew what she meant.

Well, what you see below is a good example of a “Woodbridge style” condo.  That’s nearly TWENTY different kinds of male cologne.
