There were some very satisfying replies to these smug-looking new home owners

It’s the first thing you do when you buy your own home right? You take your picture in front of it. Then you stick it on Twitter, obviously. With a smug-sounding message reinforcing exactly how smug-looking you are in the picture, right?

Okay, we might have lost you after the first one. Not these people, though. They did this.

Reassuringly for everyone else, whether you own your own home or not, the replies were very satisfying, occasionally emotional, and mostly very funny.

I’m 26, financially unstable, and still living with my parents, but I’m happy for the first time in a long time. And that means a lot for me.

swallowed a magnet ball when I was 9 and had to poop in a plastic bag for a week and squish my shit around until I finally pooped it out because the doctor said it could get stuck in me and I would have to get surgery to get it removed if I didn’t poop it out. https://t.co/kufQoy55yc

Well, amongst other things I certainly had class, dignity and self respect. Maybe you will by the time you’re 21

Slept on a twin bed with my ex bf in a scary apartment for a 6 month period where his roommate actively sold drugs out of the living room and his other roommate was fired for accidently sending dick pics to his 64 year old coworker instead of his gf so he twitch steamed full time https://t.co/419YAmts1X
