Ten signs in the house that can scare guests

And scare so much that they won’t dare to walk to you anymore. Or maybe you yourself will be shunned.
There used to be such a tradition: when guests were invited, they prepared all week. Cleaned up, came up with something for the feast, writes Wday.ru. Now, few people will bother with pickles, because you can always order pizza. And some do not even consider it necessary to cover up the unsightly aspects of their life. And in vain, because some things can scare unprepared people.
1. Unpleasant smell
It can smell of anything: fried fish (although it was fried the day before yesterday), cats, dog hair, a forgotten trashcan, sour soup, mustiness, incense sticks. But it shouldn't. There is a certain light smell in any apartment, but the key here is light. If you regularly forget to clean the litter box, take out the trash, or, on the contrary, burn incense all day long, the smell in the house will be heavy. It is unlikely that anyone would want to commit a crime against their own sense of smell and their own lungs again.
2. Cluttered rooms
Not even dirty, no. Just stuffed with little things. You know, when there is no living space on the shelves from all sorts of things, and there is nowhere to step on the floor because of the chairs, ottomans and bedside tables, everything is crowded, and the cabinets swell with things. Such a passion for hoarding can eventually develop into Plushkin's syndrome, when the house turns into a warehouse of unnecessary things. In addition, the owner’s head is probably just as clogged with all sorts of rubbish, like the apartment.
3. A mess
Dirt on the floor, dust on the shelves, leftovers on the table, corpses of long-faded flowers in a vase. Well, what's nice about that? Of course, such a disregard for one's own home is frightening. After all, as a person grows up, he becomes quite picky about personal comfort. And if your comfort level is a complete mess, then this cannot but be alarming.

4. Sterile cleanliness
This is the other extreme. It is worth accidentally touching the polished tabletop, as the owner rushes to destroy your fingerprints. There is not a speck of dust around, as if you were in a hotel room that had just been cleaned by a team of cleaners. There is some kind of mania in such cleanliness. After all, a living person cannot devote all his free time to cleaning. There is no other way to achieve such purity.
5. Facelessness
This is when the apartment has an uninhabited look - no more or less decor, no flowers in pots, no posters, no books, no photographs. In general, nothing in which the individuality of the owner would somehow be manifested. And sometimes even complete minimalism, like the hero Matthew McConaughey in True Detective. Either the person is so empty, or he does not care where to live. But both options are equally unsympathetic.
6. Dirty bathroom
This is disgust in its purest, sorry for the oxymoron, form. If the bath turned yellow, there are streaks of toothpaste on the sink, the mirror is splashed, and the toilet bowl is scary to use for its intended purpose, it means that the owner of the apartment is extremely superficial about his own hygiene. He can’t sincerely not notice that the plumbing needs to be cleaned! Here you will think ten more times, wash your hands or they will only get more dirty if you touch the tap. What kind of guests are there? I want to run away from this house.
7. Clothes on the backs of the chairs
It doesn't matter who she is. But when a bra flirtatiously hangs on one chair, a stale shirt hangs down from another, and even jeans are lying around, from which socks stick out, - so-so spectacle. It's not only sloppy, but also too intimate. After all, it is inconvenient to show dirty linen even to the person with whom you live together. And here for all the guests.

8. Excess of old stuff
This is from the series "it's a pity to throw it away." This includes old magazines, cracked crockery, unwanted clothes (the ones that make your closet swell), and broken appliances. Very close to Plushkin's syndrome - this is the first. And secondly, such clutter speaks of the owner as a person who is not too generous. Rather, even frankly greedy. If he is sorry to spend money on new, comfortable, modern and beautiful things for himself, then what can he offer others? Your rich inner world?
9. Unmade bed
There are two types of unmade beds: when you accidentally overslept and did not have time, and chronically unmade. Here is the second type - the least pretty: wrinkled, crumbled and stained, often something else is lying on top. And if the owner flops down on this bed right in street jeans, then things are completely bad. After all, this means that they don’t really think about hygiene in this apartment.
10. Too personal stuff
You should not flaunt a collection of sex toys, underwear, a practical guide to black magic and a portrait of a mutual friend generously studded with needles. Keep the voodoo doll away too. As well as signs of an unusual hobby - if, for example, you are fond of taxidermy. After all, there are things that are only for you and someone very, very close. Guests are unlikely to fall into this category.
