Times Designers Created Something Without Realizing It Will Have To Be Cleaned (NEW) | Happy Bears

8:29 Cover the floor below it with a PVC backed drop cloth, a sheet of plastic, or if it small enough, open an umbrella under it, with the handle pointing upwards. Shut off the light. Spray your chandelier with Sparkle Plenty/Windex/One part distilled white vinegar and three parts distilled water. Distilled leaves no spots. If you have a chandelier with cupped areas, you will need to blot them dry.

Amethyst sink looks great but I would sell it to a gem shop before I would try to clean it. JLY

[@competitionglen]

Bread warmer in radiator is genius. Your socks and jocks (clean) would be toastie warm when you get out of the shower too.😊

[@teresacartwright5406]

I guess I'm unfashionable - I still buy books to read them (and then pass them on). I just can't fathom books as furniture or purely for decoration. I often wish I could have taken psychology so I'd understand the motivation behind all-white decor & furniture (where's a modern Freud when you need the answer?).

[@jmi5969]

Simple. Failing eyesight. Older folks like yours truly choose light colours and bright lighting. I should take psychology though to understand the rationale behind modern "invisible" doors.

[@MusaNana-op4ek]

I fully agree with that books should be read and passed on, but unfortunately it is difficult to get rid of unwanted books these days, especially paper backs. We have a local book exchange booth, and I see how many books gather there, without ever being taken by someone, and quite often those are yesteryears bestsellers. With several copies of each of them. So if people use those unwanted copies to build a bed instead of cutting down a tree for it, I think it is useful up cycling.

[@teresacartwright5406]

@@MusaNana-op4ek - I give them to my local library (they have a spot where people can taken free books) or to a senior's home.

[@katie7748]

The all-white IS psychological, actually. It's mentally unstimulating for a lot of people. (Which can be relaxing for some overwhelmed people.) It's also lifeless, which can (and does) make many people feel depressed and hopeless. Same goes for all the greys, beiges, and other neutrals. And we see it in architecture. "Clean lines," boxy, downright Brutalist, minimalism...they all have the same reasoning behind the push for such trends. Believe it or not... There's more to it than that and I'm not judging anyone for liking it. Just stating some facts, that's all.

[@MrWombatty]

As the saying goes; "There's no accounting for bad taste!".

[@morgainewetzker6206]

2:22 That room is BLINDING

[@katie7748]

Disorienting to look at, holy sht...to each their own but egads! No thank you!!

[@quearesteestavia7495]

Indoor beach? not if you have a cat!

[@ALA9E]

😂

[@teresacarey3269]

Thank you!

[@anniella29]

😂

[@grannym2880]

The manky office chair could be easily cleaned with a pressure washer.

[@svennoren9047]

Pressure washer is the answer to many of these cleaning problems!

[@shirleyn546]

Or thrown in a skip!

[@katepoole6891]

I'd accidentally break it. Oops.

[@randomnotes]

James Lileks wrote a book called "Interior Desecrations" - all about bad interior decorating from the 70s. One of those conversation pits is in it. Absolutely hilarious.

[@christinavuyk2026]

There’s one in the Beatles film ‘Help’ too 🙂

[@theproplady]

I got that book. I like the conversation pits, but I imagine they caused many injuries among drunk people.

[@philiprice7875]

a company brought out a duvet with a fitted cover saying you never need to struggle to change cover. i point out "no you will just struggle to take it to the laundrmat to use a giant machine to wash and dry it every time it gets stained"

[@quearesteestavia7495]

I swear my parent's bed was held up by piles of National Geographic magazines.

[@douglasfapp9816]

Custodian here , university always build new buildings, no custodian closets or sinks or drains. So typical.

[@lorisewsstuff1607]

9:06 Wait. Is that a Bigfoot with an eating disorder?

[@katepoole6891]

No. That is what happened when he stole Granny's teeth.

[@koryryon4177]

I like the indoor cat forest scratch posts . Only problem is when cats vomit - it will be hard to clean.

[@frankhooper7871]

3:15 - anybody else's thoughts immediately run to the _Only Fools and Horses_ sketch?

[@katepoole6891]

One of the best episodes they did.

[@HelenCamile63]

Loved the wine decanter.

[@teresacarey3269]

Me too, but I'd fill it with colored water (or maybe alcohol), cap it, and put it on a shelf.

[@user-ml3hl6vr4t]

The wrought iron open twisting cabinet pulls, I use a toothbrush and dawn dish soap in warm water. I live in the original dust bowl with two Persian type coated cats. Dust and flocking is a way of life. The pebble sinks, use a foaming tub and tile cleaner and a vegetable brush.

[@teresacarey3269]

Sounds about right.

[@MLIOGJXNUYAT]

10:02 I'm guessing the coil is made of light metal or something similar that holds its shape. So you can position it and the hose exactly where you want them, and they'll stay there, while the hose by itself obviously wouldn't.

[@Kualinar]

The coil is steel. Spring steel. It allows you to move the faucet around when washing the dishes. Mostly found in restaurants, but, may also be found in some houses.

[@ALA9E]

That broken lamp🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😂

[@teresacarey3269]

It's kind of amazing, yet hideous.

[@dragoncubes1074]

I love the idea. I think it would look better if only a portion was blown out, and the chunks were larger.

[@cyirvine6300]

4:19 I WANT that cutlery set!

[@lobstermash]

That guitar rendition of Joy to the World definitely belongs here. Like fingernails on a blackboard.

[@dcarbs2979]

The spirit of Liberace is alive and well.

[@Whammytap]

5:45 What is that made out of, cauliflower?

[@KatieSpielman]

Leaf blower. You’re welcome

[@capnkwick4286]

And a Shop-Vac on the other side to catch any dust.

[@katepoole6891]

Made by totally evil designers who know that they don't have to clean them. My worst nightmare was walking into someone's bathroom that was completely carpeted over the loo. Chandeliers and oil lamps were designed by the devil.

[@baroquearttanya8514]

Conversation pits like from the 70's were /are no harder to clean than a regular lounge, so that's bullshit.

[@Kualinar]

0:35 There was a time when those where very popular... Back in the late 60's, early 70's. Reasonable peoples didn't buy them, sane peoples who had them threw them in the garbage. 7:30 I've seen similar, but, the carpet used was shag...

[@LauraS1]

I need shoebacca slippers but I can't afford Gucci. I want shoebacca slippers just so I can say "I have shoebacca slippers". LOL

[@christophermahon1851]

Wow!

[@rattus3102]

Most of them are horrible designs; unsanitary, inconvenient to clean or just plain ugly!

[@BhaaskarDesai]

There are some parts in this world that have minimum dust build up. I was in the U.K. 20 years back in Leicester, on Melton Road, where I spent about 6 months. I was actually surprised that my house remained clean even though it was facing the main road. Although I agree most items in this video are terrible.

[@kellydalstok8900]

Chandeliers have to be taken apart in order to clean them. I saw that in a documentary about a palace (Buckingham or Windsor, I can’t remember which).

[@jmi5969]

3:45 I'm confused. Did they raise the floor outside the pit, or did they crush the slab and dig into the ground? Anyway, "you're an accident waiting to happen you're piece of glass left on a beach"

[@teresacarey3269]

It's a version of a "split-level" home. I never got the point.

[@mccanlessdesign]

I watch these things, read the comments, and I realize that a lot of folks are cleanliness-obsessed and bug-intolerant - likely to the point of missing some joy in life.

[@shirleyn546]

People don’t think long term…

[@deltavee2]

That silver colored buttony chair...just take to the self-car wash with next time. Take you two minutes...charge the boss.

[@Bobrogers99]

Designers get paid thousands for rubbish like this, and there are enough rich fools to pay for it.

[@sandybruce9092]

Some people have more money than brains!!L

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Breathe-y music. give it a miss!

[@Kualinar]

Mute is your friend. You can use the «M» key to mute the sound. M again to un-mute.
