AUDIO: A BIG RED FLAG
Reddit asked, “What is a red flag to see in someone’s home?” Some of the responses:
– “I saw my mother-in-law mop the floors on Christmas after dinner and then proceed to mop the kitchen table with the same floor mop.”
– “One litterbox and ten cats. True story from when I helped someone move.”
– “No sheets on their bed but clearly they sleep on it.”
– “Holes punched in the wall. No thanks.”
– “A stick of butter IN THE SHOWER? What?”
– “Black garbage bags as window curtains.”
– “Eye boogers on the cat. Clean them off for godssake.”
– “A ‘live laugh love’ sign.”
– “A sign in the kitchen that says KITCHEN.”
– “I was looking at an apartment to rent. I went to the other part of the place where the landlord lived. Above his fireplace was a portrait – of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Founder of the KKK. I got out of there.”
– “Large political flags on the wall. I don’t care what your political affiliations are, if you feel the need to hang a huge flag in your living room to announce them, that’s a no from me.”
– “A parrot. No normal person lives with a parrot.”
– “Had dinner with my friend’s family. They had a bottle of something called “Beano” on the table, and they each took turns passing it around and adding it to their food. I asked and my friend and he said it was “anti-fart drops”. He later told me that his family farts a whole ton so the Beano mitigates the grossness. I couldn’t shake that he has a weird fart family and never went back. I guess that’s not really a red flag. They were just sweet people with fart problems.”
* QUESTION: What is something you saw in someone’s home that clued you in that something was off?
CLIP: This ties in with that last response. Our classic “Beano Shortage” parody spot. (Warning: there’s a lot of farts.)
