Miscellaneous: Today, my husband and I found the perfect house, in our price...

Today, my husband and I found the perfect house, in our price range and everything we wanted in a house. However, the street it's on is called "Arbour Butte Road". My husband refuses to buy it because he doesn't want it to sound like he lives "in a tree's ass." I'm married to an idiot. FML

Today, we inherited a house from my grandma in a homeowners association. My husband told the HOA president he's looking forward to defying the rules and annoying the rich snobs on this street who made grandma miserable by complaining about the state of her house while she was dying. FUCK THEM. FML

Today, as a part of my job, I took a couple around to look at houses that are on sale. After driving them around and looking at tons of houses, the wife said, "Okay. I think we have enough decorating ideas." FML

Today, my family and I went Christmas tree shopping. My husband and I were walking around when I saw the perfect tree. Excited, we immediately bought it. When we got home and set it up, I realized it came with a present: termites. FML

Today, my abusive ex-husband thought it was a good idea to buy the house next door and start living there immediately. Looks like I gotta move. FML

Today, my landlord sent tree cutters to take down a tree in our front yard. I didn't realize their job included walking around the house and gratuitously staring at me through the window as I dressed. My boyfriend won't complain because he's afraid our rent will go up in retaliation. FML

Today, I was dropping my new boyfriend off at his house. I'd never been there before, so he was giving me directions as I drove. We passed a small trailer home on the right. Without thinking, I said, "I'm so glad I don't live in a house like that." My boyfriend told me to turn right. FML

Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML

Today, I found out that the piece of vacant land I purchased for $20,000 is illegal to build a house on, due to acreage restrictions. Thank you, realtor. FML

Today, I learned that just because I inherited a house doesn’t mean I get to move into it to escape my crappy neighbourhood and asshole neighbours. Thanks to inheritance tax I have to sell the house to afford the taxes. FML

I'd have bought it just SO I could fill out "Arbour Butte Road" every time I had to write an address.

Maybe she didn't now how much of an idiot he is when she married him. And it is pronounced Byoot, not Butt. This makes me glad I live on a street with a numerical name. Before that, I lived on Lost Knife Circle, the name for the road for the apartment complex I lived in.

i'll just chime in with the other "Byoot" not "butt" but you married him = YDI and if you let him ruin your chances at a perfect house YDI^2

It's better than living down Kitchen-Dick Lane. I had to babysit two kids that lived on that street.

There's Elephant Butte in NM. People love saying stuff like, "Ready for Elephant Butt this weekend?!" Embrace it.

If it's that much of a problem for him, just remind him that you can petition your local government to change the name of the road.

I live on Farthing dr, and my friends call it "Farting dr." Doesn't matter what the street is called, someone will find a way to twist the name into something silly.
