The blurriness of the photo really emphasizes his disdain for the couch

I figured he was so enraged that he couldn't hold the camera still whilst taking it.

I also like that all the frames in the picture are slightly crooked. They get the job done, like the sofa, but it ain't pretty.

Oh hell. Somehow I missed that. Now that I see it, I’m going to have nightmares.

I tried one of these and I get why he hates it.

They suck for laying on.

Even free, I'd really hate to meet this person and be in that house while I check it out and haul it onto a truck.

Imagine their reaction when you go to see it in person and change your mind about taking it for one reason or another

I do feel his pain on hating furniture. It’s hard to find a couch that isn’t a saggy piece of shit after 6 months

I don't know, I got a couch at Ethan Allen that is still in really good shape despite frequent use.

My mom has a nice couch in her living room. She also has the previous 2 couches she just bought in the last year in her basement. My sister has the one she just bought before that. Old people are so picky. They never had to deal with blow up furniture in their 20s.

Yes we had to make do with straw, hay, and the skins of local dinosaurs

That's a lot of hate for a couch.

Saw one yesterday where a guy was selling a meta quest 3. He said " Bought it and used it twice. Wasn't worth the upgrade from a quest 2. Total waste of money."

I guess this proves normal people by VR headsets. Cuz a VR nerd wound list all the improvements.

Sounds like the intro to Solar Opposites

Looks like something Susan Petcherson would have in her house so no thank you, I'll pass.

At this point give into the hate and burn it in the yard
