"What's wrong with this photo?" you ask. "It looks like a perfectly nice house to me." Well, I agree. There's nothing wrong with the photo. I'm cheating. It's just that... well, you see the driveway? I can't help but wonder what it's connected to, as the listing makes one thing very clear: "THERE IS NO LEGAL ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTY IT IS LAND LOCKED."

Heather found this under-the-weather listing. Get well soon! And please please please, aim for the bucket...
Oh, hi, Chairs. Ruth told me she'd seen you guys waiting here. Yeah, I've been mentioning you a few times in my blog lately... we're cool, though, right? You know it's out of affection, right? This is a welcoming party, not a threatening gang, right? Because you're looking a little thuggish standing there all together...
please don't hurt me
This photo is the best -- the loveliest! the most flattering! -- of the lot in the listing Emily found.
Is this the house? Would you really call it a Cape Cod, as the listing does? Just what does it mean when it says it has air conditioning? Does "air conditioning" mean something other to you than it does to me? When you're at the hardware store picking up supplies for emergency roof repair, do you think something like this: "Oh, and I need to get one of those big things... those waterproof things... what are they called? They're big, and blue, and flat... I know! 'Air conditioning'! That's what they're called!"
Grab the children! Run! The volcano has erupted and there's lava everywhere! Go, for the love of all that's holy! Save the listing and run!
There are many perfectly good reasons for putting Saran Wrap over the top third of your fireplace before taking its photo for a listing, as Rebecca found. For example:
ah
um
hey, I hear my mom calling, gotta go
