Times When People's Apartments Had Them Doing a Double Take

Might as Well Paint Over the Furniture Too

The recent tenants who moved into an apartment owned by a certain landlord found themselves in a bizarre situation. The landlord, who apparently had no interest in home décor, decided to take matters into their own hands and tackle some painting. But this wasn’t your typical paint job. Instead of focusing on walls or trim, the landlord covered everything—outlets, light switches, even the lights themselves—with no regard for functionality

Who would’ve thought that aesthetics would trump practicality in such a dramatic way?

While this might sound like a scene straight out of a slapstick comedy, it’s a very real and frustrating scenario. Imagine trying to plug in your phone or turn on a light, only to find everything coated in paint. It’s a classic case of “good intentions, bad execution.” If you’re planning to use electricity anytime soon, you’re out of luck. This serves as a reminder that landlords should prioritize functionality over questionable DIY projects. After all, what’s the point of a freshly painted apartment if you can’t even turn on the lights?
