House Hunters

I'm, of course, addicted to HGTV. I've always loved being able to get an inside look at all different kinds of houses, and imagining the potential in all the properties they show.

However, I get really pissed at these stupid people that walk into these houses and say, "Ugh, I hate the carpet." or "This third bathroom is way too small, even though the other bathrooms are awesome." Or, "These counters aren't our style."

Well, duh, it wasn't your house. If you're buying a house, you should budget for renovations. You're never going to find a house that's exactly your style unless you build it yourself. If you have $150,000 to spare on a house, you should set your budget at no more than $120,000 and put money into making it your own. What the hell do you think you're doing? This isn't the Sims, where you can use the money cheat and customize every detail with the "create a style" button. No. You are dumb.

You should walk into the house and say, "Wow, we could totally customize this house to fit our needs." Not, "Ugh, I wanted marble floors in the formal dining room that we'll never use, not this hardwood floor that's awesome and original to this 1890s Victorian."

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, get your shit together. You annoy me. HGTV should just have a "Let's Tour Awesome Houses" show, like MTV Cribs, only not with annoying people like Snoop Dogg and Vanilla Ice showing off their sex rooms.
