“I was so caught off guard, I had to lift my jaw off the floor.”

As a full-time writer at BuzzFeed Canada, I cover all things pop culture and food.

"Ughh we had a neighbor in Florida with a similar room — 'I'm just preserving pieces of history.' That's why we have museums. Collecting/displaying these types of items in a home is impossible to interpret as neutral, much less a positive."

"My grandpa kept a few pieces of his father's KKK memorabilia in a box tucked out of the way in the basement. He hated that his father was involved in the KKK, but was passionate about preserving family history and didn't believe in trying to erase the ugly parts. (He was a history teacher and then a principal.)

When the grandchildren reached a certain age, he would bring out the box and show us the artifacts as part of a serious discussion about racism and thinking for ourselves. He was proud that he didn't follow in his father's footsteps and lived to vote for the first Black president.

That was a legitimate reason to own such things. Displaying stuff like that in a private home for any reason would just be creepy."

"That’s WILD!!! You are absolutely correct. I pet sit in a very affluent area and it’s wild what can be going on in beautiful homes with expensive cars in the driveway. I’ve seen some SHIT doing this job lol. But also, how can people have all the money in the world and still neglect their animals? :("

"I think the unhinged part was that she thought spirits were living in her walls."

"Found a gun under a pillow when I sat down. Nope!"
