If they have children, but you see no sign of a child in the home outside of their bedroom.

Edit: I do not mean the home is trashed. I mean you see no photos, no coats, shoes, toys anything indicating a child lives there too. For example I tidy up every night, but you’ll still see my toddlers shoes by the door and his little paw patrol table in the living room. & photos around the house of him of course

Another edit: I am not going back and fourth with you sad beige parents that live for aesthetics. If you don’t get it I’m not explaining it.

Large political flags on the wall. I don't care what your political affiliations are, if you are that obsessed with it that you feel the need to hang a huge flag in your living room to announce them, that's a no from me.

I did some real estate photography on a home.

It was a Mass State Trooper. It was disturbing: A nice neighborhood, a nice home, clean and well maintained. Kids and wife photos decorating the walls and end tables. But I started noticing holes punched into walls (some of them plastered and repaired, some of them "fresh". Doors that had been splintered at the bottom from being kicked in. A couple doors that had padlocks on them that had been ripped out. There were just signs of rage everywhere I looked. It was disturbing and I felt bad for the family.

I change the bathroom towels in our guest bathroom every Friday. One Friday I told my son to go wipe up the urine he left on the seat & floor and then watched this imposter of my DNA, wipe the urine with a hand towel and hang it back up, in front of me. I've never wanted to disown a relative more in my life.

I was looking at an apartment to rent in a very liberal part of the USA. Place was great! I’d have a huge windowed area and lots of nice amenities like a fireplace. I went to the other part of the place where the landlord lived. Above *his* fireplace was a portrait. A portrait of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Founder of the KKK. I noped right the f**k out of there.

Trashy neighbor's dog died in a kennel, probably from starvation.

They ignored the body until well after rigor set in, and then they couldn't get it out of the cage because the limbs wouldn't bend. So they just left it in there, in the house, surrounded by piles of garbage

Their 10-year-old eventually asked other neighborhood adults for help because the parents wouldn't do anything about it.

So... dead dog rotting in a cage is my red flag.

Growing up my mom always told me if I saw a gun in someone's home to politely leave and call her and that she'd pick me up. How to tell in one quick story that someone was raised outside of the United States. I still get a jolt when I see a rifle in someone's house, I understand that there is responsible gun owners but I am not fond of being near weapons even when properly stored.

We were looking at a litter of German Shepherd puppies. Very large house, lots of land. Looked rather posh.

The mum and pups were in the kitchen. Dog poo, puddles of urine everywhere.

I managed to step in 💩

Owner said ‘oh sorry! Give me your boot and I’ll clean it’.

I assumed she had an outside tap? Oh no…she took it to the kitchen sink and washed it there.

We declined a cup of tea.

When they use the sofa as a changing table with no blanket or anything on it. I went to someone's house and the kid had a blow out. The mom just put the baby with poopy diaper on the sofa to change her and looked at me when my jaw hit the floor and said "What's the big deal? It's just poop!" I never went there again.

It also explains why they purchased a brown sofa. 🤢.

"It's just poop!" If they feel that way about poop, I bet they don't wash their hands either.

I have had to do this with a couple of my own relatives. I guess they thought they were so good at it they wouldn't get poop on anything else. Griped at me for making them put a towel under it. Stopped griping after a couple of times of the towel getting poop on it.

Well, to be fair, if she didn't get it on the couch, its not a problem. Everyone I know does that, and if they accidently make a mess, they clean it.

Yikes. I have a SIL and BIL who did this with both their babies. Anywhere they were: restaurant table, familyroom couch, bench in a hotel lobby. It was so unsanitary and disgusting. And no amount of suggesting other, more appropriate locations changed their habit.

I have a friend who will call out people who do this. Loudly. We were in a little cafe once and a woman started to change her baby on the table. My friend said in her loudest voice (and she's LOUD), "OMG! Everyone! Look at that woman! She's changing her baby on a table where people eat! Can you believe this? How inconsiderate can you get?" And on and on until the woman rewrapped her kid and stomped out.

Here's my story about this that might get me downvotes --- so I've done this before. It was at a "family friendly" restaurant that did NOT have changing tables in the restroom. One time I saw this guy in a nice suit with a clipboard talking to employees so I talked to him about it. Turned out he was the owner and said it was too much of a liability to have changing stations. After that I had no qualms with changing my baby at the table at that restaurant (with a pad).

One major red flag is if their home feels too sterile or empty—like they don’t actually live there. Also, lots of signs of anger, like holes in the walls, can be concerning!

One of my best friends from middle school invited me to spend the night one weekend and their house was so unbelievably *nasty*. It was more than just trash and dirty clothes all over the place. My friend’s older sister had a baby and they even had dirty diapers and food scraps throughout their apartment. Aside from some odd behavior from their mom who was gone pretty much the whole time we were there. We went swimming in their apartment pool that same weekend and my friend told me that her mom actually had a d**g problem and she sometimes just wouldn’t see her for days at a time. So now I think any unusual amount of trash could indicate a serious issue someone there must really be going through something in order for their house to be looking like *that*.
