'What's the big deal?': 20+ Red flags that visitors spotted immediately when they walked into someone's home

It's one thing to have a messy house, but these people have taken their messiness to the next level. 

Sometimes, the best way to clean up your home is by inviting someone over. It immediately makes you consider your home from an outsider's perspective. You start to think about what your guests might notice, like crumbs on the table or a streaky mirror. They say you should clean surfaces first, then the bathroom, then the floors, and by that point, you have a pretty clean home to invite your guests into. 

However, not everyone frets about how their guests view their home, and that's fine too. Some folks would rather just let their home be a little messy all the time, and they're comfortable living that way. There's a difference between a messy home and a home full of red flags though, as the people answering u/Radiant_Blooom's question can tell you. We all know that a parent of a toddler isn't going to have a spotless home, but it's a whole different story if the pet's litter is overflowing, or if there's a bare mattress on the floor. You can scroll below to see if you agree with these red flags, or if you think people are just being too picky.
