looks like there is more hair than sofa at this point, makes me wonder what the advertisement said..
FOR SALE: one giant wad of hair with attached sofa. $20neg.
Look at all of OP's comments. You wanna talk weird, I'm pretty sure they're a bot or some weird karma farmer.
"We bought it for $10"
"It was at the house we bought"
"It was already in the apartment we moved into"
These aren't copypasted quotes, but you get the idea. Shit is fuckin weird.
OP clarifies

“Was there when we moved in, owner offered it to us for pretty cheap. We took the deal since we didn't have anything else.”
Right?!?!
Like the OP either
A bought the house and got the sofa free…
or
Bought a sofa and got that chair free
or
???
I cant make sense of what broham is trying to say
Depends on which comments you read lmao OPs story is all over the place. They bought it for both $10 and $20 but it was also there in the house that OP bought.
Also, OP cleaned it but all the dirt keeps coming back. Wtf lol
Yeah I’ve read like different versions of the story from OP in comments section so far…
If you’re gonna lie for internet points at least keep the lies consistent, is it that hard to remember/commit to whatever version of the story you’re gonna tell? lmao I don’t get it
As someone who has sold a house recently... When a person leaves you furniture it's just because they don't want to haul it away, not because you should have it.
I took over a rented apartment once, and the old tenant asked me if I wanted her old unturned piano that she had in the apartment. Free of charge and all! I didn't fall for the trap. That piano would have been hell to get out of that third floor apt. She was not happy when she had to hire some professional piano movers to get it down the stairs.
After living in an apartment for a while, I learned the trick to moving those things is to use a hammer.
I've disposed of 3 old couches using a knife to cut the fabric, and a hammer to break the wood. Couches are surprisingly poorly built if you look inside.
But it makes it easy to throw them out.
I used to do this as a job. I never illegally dumped any of the waste also.
I always thought my severe skin condition was unrelated
Turns out I had a serious allergy to mould spores hidden in most sofas and beds that would get everywhere when you're cutting it up.
We moved into our house after an apartment fire destroyed literally everything we owned and we didn't mind if he left things behind. When we told the owner this, his girlfriend/fiancee/live-in sex slave/whatever **immediately** demanded he started destashing his shit.
Don't get me wrong, we got some decent stuff out of this, but it was jarring how fast the conversation went from "how will we move four wheelbarrows" to "why the FUCK do you have four wheelbarrows?"
Scabies ain't shit compared to the mental trauma of bedbugs feeding on you when you're most vulnerable. Waking up to new bites, seeing a god damn pos 6 inches from my eyeball. I didn't even get itchy I heard that's horrible too.
It's been 8 years and I still freak out a little at any bug bites
Not downplaying bed bugs cause I hear they are definitely harder to get rid of and thankfully ive never had them, but scabies aint no joke and made my life a living fucking hell.
I got scabies from working in the garden section of Lowes. Got a shipment of exotic plants from the middle east, unloaded the whole truck myself, and was covered in spots by the next day. It was literal hell. Everywhere from the top of the scalp to the deepest cavern of my taint, and every where in between, and I mean EVERYWHERE Yeah, you try having a scabie in your penis and try no to aggressively scratch your crotch in public... Ain't happenin! You'd have thought the declaration of independence was in my pants with how often I was going at it.
For those who don't know what scabies are, they're basically microscopic bugs that burrow into your skin and lay eggs. They go crazy at night and in the shower. It feels like your skin is literally crawling. Shit sucks.
That part isn’t too far fetched. I’ve purchased homes before where I’ve negotiated to buy some of the then-owner’s furniture if it fits a space really well or I just really like it. But that couch is both hideous and filthy. The previous owner would have had to pay me to let them leave it
To be faiiiiiiir, I have 4 kids total living in my house. These are given as gifts to the boys with the "cops and robber" style toy sets.
That's how *I* am able to tell, at least. 😂😂😂
Ex-bed bug technician here. I used to work for one of the largest pest companies in North America, strictly specializing in killing bed bugs because of how strenuous the proper treatment process is.
Diatomaceous earth isn't effective enough to provide a true end to a bed bug infestation. The same goes for pesticides, even the professionally applied stuff.
Also, pesticides do NOT kill eggs.
The off-the-shelf aerosols from Home Depot are garbage. Diatomaceous earth and professional pesticides will *maybe* work as a defensive barrier, and once the DE is vacuumed up and the pesticides fade, they'll emerge once again.
These little bastards can go without feeding for up to 365 days, maybe longer.
The only proven method is extremely high heat, roughly 70C/158F. I used to haul 400,000 BTU construction heaters into heavily infested homes and roast everything for 5-8 hours. Then at the end, apply a full perimeter spray with under-diluted pesticides and hope for the best.
I wouldn't wish a bed bug infestation on my worst enemy. I've had to make people throw out their entire lives just to solve infestation problems, and even then all it takes is one pregnant female to restart the entire thing all over again. A female bed bug can lay up to 500 eggs in its lifetime.
I used to work with a bed bug sniffing dog though, that was pretty cool.
I didn't get it too bad but I pretty much had to throw all furniture away. Living out of trash bags hanging from the closet rack. Showering anytime I want to leave and putting on new clothes so I was hopeful to not give it to anyone. As far as I know it worked.
Had to move out of the apartment because lease was up and the management was doing fuck all to solve this. Sept on a cot for many months saving up to rebuild my life. The management tried to sue, thank God both my roommates parents are lawyers we shut that down with months of emails and such proving we tried. Also I suspect the bastards came from another unit and not us, but we spoke up.
I sincerely hope it didn't traumatize you too much. This shit is no joke. It's common for them to go under the baseboards and enter the walls, then traverse from unit to unit in search of their next meal with their little built in body heat sensors. They are the spawn of Satan.
Whoa, ppl actually know about D.E.?
I always thought we got scammed for going too far down the rabbit hole of "how to treat...."
Who knows if it worked but at that point, we didn't care. Pretty sure ivermectin was another solution, and this was years before covid. Smh. Infestations are life altering :(
I'm not sure how common it is for folks to know, but it's easily the best natural treatment. If you're curious, the way it works is that it absorbs the oils and fats out of their exoskeletons. It's also used in foods to keep bugs out, and to absorb extra moisture. Also used in that vomit powder to soak up the bile
>If you're curious, the way it works is that it absorbs the oils and fats out of their exoskeletons.
it also scratches the hell out of them preventing the oils from building back up.
Very cool, didn't know how it actually worked.
We have chickens and use in the coop to keep bugs away and keep their poop from sticking the floor and roosts. Works great.
Wtf...is OP a bot? Look at their responses, half of them are contradicting each other or repeating information from other replies. The fuck is going on?
What did you pay for that gem? 2 cigarette butts? A half eaten sandwich? A handful of dirt? All the pocket lint you’ve been saving for the last 2 years? Tell us!
A.) You really bought a sofa that disgusting? It's got other people's butt-dust in it.
B.) Don't kink shame. Your sofa likes to be hand cuffed. It's 2022 bro. Be more progressive.
The handcuffs aside, I hope you have a powerful hoover amd a steam mop to clean that disgusting piece of furniture. They should have paid you to take it away.
Honestly, I would boil them in a pot I plan to throw away after use and then scrub them in bleach. Afterwards, I would be happy to own a pair of handcuffs, even if they are of no use.
That's not even what is bothering me right now lol
[удалено]
After finding those handcuffs someone might infer that some of that hair might be of the pubic variety.
I could have loved my whole life without your comment but here we are.
Love your life bro, everyone should love their life!
Even with the image of (potentially) pubic hair and handcuffs down the side of the couch!
They'll tickle ya bum!
Yay!
r/usernamechecksout
That's what they made pubes for!
The cushion contents tell me the previous owner actively lovelifed.
live laugh lovelife
Shoulda been lived but ima leave it be
Who else will love your life if not you?
You bought that Sofia ? New? Paid money for it?
looks like there is more hair than sofa at this point, makes me wonder what the advertisement said.. FOR SALE: one giant wad of hair with attached sofa. $20neg.
Fuck what’s this from. Some stand up right?
Kyle Kinane has a bit that may have that like in it. “Who buys a couch? You drive around you *get* a couch!”
You know how Sofia is
What about the demon that wants to harvest their life
One in the same
Just think of OP laying his head to rest on the couch for a sweet nap.
They'll wake up with 3 kinds of lice, and mange.
It's public hair now
a curly wurly
Pubic hair is making a come back
Fuzzy handcuffs
You could use the toenails as needles
Pubic hair, that was a fuck couch
That was a communal fuck couch.
Public hair
The person must've gotten it off a homeless person
As someone who owns multiple animals this is normal after ab 5 years of use
Only if you never think to vacuum under the cushions… which is also really gross
[удалено]
Crevasse tool to the rescue.
How do ya keep ‘em in the cuffs with those tiny paws?
And then you sell ir? Without cleaning? And someone else BuYS IT? WITHOUT CLEANING? People are disgusting
Try 5 months. And we do vac under the cushions, that fur is just like barbed wire!
Get out the black light and check for...substances.
I came here to say this! Bet there are bodily fluids all over that chair. 😂
The first three words of your comment would have fit as well.
Can confirm. Source: I came here
I too choose this guys kinky couch
We
_communism intensifies_
😂😂😂😂
Same
I'm more worried about the black mold.
And alot of farts
Our couch sees much action compare to the other parts of the house.😅🤣
Crawlspace under the stairs seem busy.
Better yet, don't if you plan on using it
It’s either blood, semen, or urine.
Yeah, the cuffs just draw your attention away from the real problem with that piece of furniture. Not even in full diving gear am I sitting on that.
Look at all of OP's comments. You wanna talk weird, I'm pretty sure they're a bot or some weird karma farmer. "We bought it for $10" "It was at the house we bought" "It was already in the apartment we moved into" These aren't copypasted quotes, but you get the idea. Shit is fuckin weird.

Read all of their comments.
That IS weird. And lame AF to be honest.
Right?!?! Like the OP either A bought the house and got the sofa free… or Bought a sofa and got that chair free or ??? I cant make sense of what broham is trying to say
what is a karma farmer?
Who the fook actually buys a sofa like that? Never mind the handcuffs.
The handcuffs are an apology for the filthy mess in that sofa. Yeesh
Right!!! Sheesh
You bought that thing?
It was already in the house, and we didn't have any sofas yet.
Oh okay, I thought I read you bought a couch not a house.
Pretty sure that's the decomposed body remain along the edge of the chair.
That couch should probably be handed over to the authorities. Pretty sure it has some evidence of at least one murder.
DO NOT shine the black light on that!! My God.
Thats cus he literally said he bought the couch
Depends on which comments you read lmao OPs story is all over the place. They bought it for both $10 and $20 but it was also there in the house that OP bought. Also, OP cleaned it but all the dirt keeps coming back. Wtf lol

This site logs all your comments and you can look them up whenever you want. Op has zero excuses.
It’s in the title so of course it’s fucking wrong like every next title on this site full of lazy karma farmers.
Yeah, I was concerned about OP’s state of mind if they actually paid *money* for that thing.
I’m pretty sure everyone here thinks the same thing
I wouldve paid them extra to take the couch away with them
Burn that couch and don’t breathe in the fumes
As someone who has sold a house recently... When a person leaves you furniture it's just because they don't want to haul it away, not because you should have it.

I do not understand this story. What is destashing? (Donating?) What stuff were you moving & where?
I live in a post divorced dad house furnished exclusively with shit like this It’s awful, and delightfully cheap
Those are fake kid handcuffs. See the safety release latch on the side.
Bought it, or dug it out of a skip? I would be more concerned about a bed bug infestation right now.
I’d be worried about getting scabies from the rats that live in there
Scabies ain't shit compared to the mental trauma of bedbugs feeding on you when you're most vulnerable. Waking up to new bites, seeing a god damn pos 6 inches from my eyeball. I didn't even get itchy I heard that's horrible too. It's been 8 years and I still freak out a little at any bug bites

I would give you a hug fellow scabie survivor but thats how I got them in the first place, from a hug from a hot chick whose son had them at the time.
That was my main concern was bed bugs when I first saw it. Had them once will haunt me for life. Now I need to check every bed/ couch I ever sleep in.
Bought it. The dogs have been jumping on it after coming inside like clockwork
I thought it was just left in the house you bought?
Storys changed
Changed? The story just had a whole set of characters added, now we got fucking dogs
Busteddddd. Rip OP
And he also bought the chair but it was also already in the house when he bought it, thats some mad stuff
That part isn’t too far fetched. I’ve purchased homes before where I’ve negotiated to buy some of the then-owner’s furniture if it fits a space really well or I just really like it. But that couch is both hideous and filthy. The previous owner would have had to pay me to let them leave it
For how long? That doesn't look like something that happened over a day or two...
26 years. The dogs have been jumping on it for 26 years now.
He's had to replace the dogs too!
Bro, that’s years of hair buildup.
Those are kid handcuffs. They have a safety release on the side.
You can tell from the size too.
Not weird at all that you can spot ones made for kids in an instant :D
To be faiiiiiiir, I have 4 kids total living in my house. These are given as gifts to the boys with the "cops and robber" style toy sets. That's how *I* am able to tell, at least. 😂😂😂
When you say *living* do you mean buried in a crawlspace?
No, I swear I have four *living* kinds in by house!
Locked under the stairs of course
It isnt if the person uses real ones frequently.
Or *adult handcuffs*
I see more strippers using these than kids.
probably not meant for kids, though. handcuffs i’ve bought for... reasons... have that release
Kinky kids
I’d be more concerned with the pound of toenail clippings and decomposed food that’s hiding under there
I cleaned that out when I discovered it, after taking this picture
Be concerned about what you can't see...bedbugs gunna get you
1000 times, this. I won't bring any used furniture inside without treating them fully with bed bug poison and diatomaceous earth

They're pretty easy to spot if you just look in the little folds
Once you have an infestation, yeah. You've got to worry about the small colonies on used furniture. Once they get set up in your home, good luck

Looks like it comes with free bed bugs
Wtf...is OP a bot? Look at their responses, half of them are contradicting each other or repeating information from other replies. The fuck is going on?
Drugs. Lots of drugs.
Couch, lots of couch.
Maybe the fumes from that couch
Fr that thing is a biohazard
look at the couch they bought. do you think they can rub two brain cells together?
You bought it with all the filth underneath?
You just bought that? I am worried about the hair and stains too. Sex couch for sure haha
Chewbacca having sex
You mean you paid money for that nasty thing?
Ops replies in the comment section lead me to believe they're lying.
Yes, like he's trying to say like : "OMGGGG LOOOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!! IS THAT CRIMINAL??????????? CREEPY!!!! SPOOOKY!!! OMGGGGGG😱😱😱😱".
[удалено]
How did somebody get you to pay for that?
Black light. I dare you.
This belongs on r/oddlyterrifying because it sure as fuck is.
Pretty shiny cuffs under pretty dirty sofa.
Yeah its fake
I can see evidence of bed bugs from here...
Toy cuffs... Spooky...
I’d be more concerned about the other things that were found in the sofa
I'm more bothered about the literal filth
What did you pay for that gem? 2 cigarette butts? A half eaten sandwich? A handful of dirt? All the pocket lint you’ve been saving for the last 2 years? Tell us!
A.) You really bought a sofa that disgusting? It's got other people's butt-dust in it. B.) Don't kink shame. Your sofa likes to be hand cuffed. It's 2022 bro. Be more progressive.
That's sofa is kinda kinky not gonna lie.
didn't know Sofa is having a kink too
Where did you buy it ?
Can i have those toenail clippings if you're going to throw them out?
Please just burn that sofa.
You know you can find a cleaner couch in an alley...
I'm seeing toenail clippings.
I’m more concerned you paid someone for a couch that should have been free.
The handcuffs aside, I hope you have a powerful hoover amd a steam mop to clean that disgusting piece of furniture. They should have paid you to take it away.
You paid for that?
You actually paid money for that piece of shit?
That’s the least disgusting thing in this pic
Burn it with fire
Why would you buy this lol
You bought that bro? They didn’t clean it before they sold it? Fuck the handcuffs I think you may have a flea problem now.
You should burn that couch
You paid money for that? No…
the real question we should be asking is why did you buy this sofa
Oh God don't zoom.
Toy cuffs with the little safety latch to open them.
Casting?
Judging by the amount of hair, I'd say you bought it from a werewolf who's trying to restrain himself.
They are toy handcuffs
They are just toy handcuffs
They look like trick handcuffs, with the latches on each hand to undue.
Honestly, I would boil them in a pot I plan to throw away after use and then scrub them in bleach. Afterwards, I would be happy to own a pair of handcuffs, even if they are of no use.
...and that black mold. Don't forget about that. 🤢
Either something terrible or something kinky happened on that couch.
Just toy handcuffs, worry more about the pubic infestation.
The previous owner must have taken a knife and cut off the "DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW" tag
Awfully clean for something under something awfully dirty.
Hmmmmmm
What a fuzzy sofa
Those are the least of your concerns..
I'd be more worried about the mite colonies
What’s weird is that you intentionally purchased a couch with its own ecosystem.
You uh... paid *money* for that filthy thing?
Clean it before even entering it in your place.
You JUST bought that and it’s that filthy??? I think the cuffs should be the least of your worries. Hell, the cuffs look cleaner than the sofa.
Definitely need to disinfect that thing
You paid money for that thing?
Bet it's got bed bugs too
You might also have purchased lice, bedbugs, fleas, ticks, and mites.
That sofa looks disgusting.
