Non scientific experiment

[gasmanrob]

We work in a lot of houses belonging to people from all walks of life but has anyone else noticed that some stereotypes repeat them selves?

so I'm going to post a few common findings and see if you can match the culture/persons living their.

1. Deep fat fryer used to cook everything. Yellow net curtains, dog shaped hole in the drywall through most of downstairs.
2. House smells a lot like TCP
3. Red or blue carpet throughout (has floral patten more often then not)
4. Little or no furniture people living in every room. Usually find DIY bodies holding things together
5. Computers everywhere, odd smell of cheese in every room no one has vacuumed in a while.
6. You'd wipe your feet on the way out, house stinks of weed bathroom covered in pubic hair.
7. House is immaculate, airing cupboard pristine slotted screws on everything avocado suite with corner bath.

heres some examples of what I'm expecting back.
1. HA/council tenants white, scruffy looking greasy hair 5 staffies running free
7. Old couple husband used to be an engineer, very house proud. Small ornament dogs everywhere

Massive house, nice cars, horrendous decor. Can't understand that a 24kw heatline won't heat the 1200m2 gym and pool.

House stinks she's a mess but more cleaning products under sink than in tesco.

House proud , make do and mend grown up kids.... Bloke who's been servicing bbu for last 25years just retired. Every bloody toy their kids ever had in loft.

Your first is is a builder or someone who was in the right place at the right time to afford house but can't afford the upkeep.

the next, single mum kids not around your knocking on the door at 2pm has just woken her up.

And finally upper working class he is recently retired from a printers she is still part time cleaner in a school. Loft is boarded and well lit (not that you can move) and someone really needs to get rid if those polystyrene tiles in the hall. And every time you visit one of the kids has piped in to see mum
