A man took 2 years to discover he had a dishwasher and people shared their own shock discoveries
Over on Twitter journalist Tom Hale went wildly viral after he shared his shock discovery – after living in a flat for 2 years – that it turned out he had a dishwasher.
I am in shock. Lived in this flat for 2 years and only just discovered TODAY it has a dishwasher. I thought it was a fake cupboard 🙃🙃🙃 I’ve wasted days of my life washing up🙃🙃🙃 pic.twitter.com/uiA0tyb7hZ

And not only did people find it hilarious …
There might be some rooms you haven’t found yet. Try pulling at the big wooden things in the walls.

The fact that at no point did you give it a quick yank speaks volumes about your levels of curiosity. That closed cupboard is none of my business I’ll stick to the open ones thankyouverymuch.

I’m always having dreams where I discover a previously unknown wing of my house…

… it was entirely relatable for these people who also had a hilariously belated shock discovery.

I’ve been living in my house for 3 years. Always assumed this door was decorative because it wouldn’t pull open. Turns out it slides open! 😳
No more brushing my teeth in the kitchen or shitting in the garden. I have a bathroom! pic.twitter.com/kdRiKLyC45— i.am.wolf©️ (@TallAsHer) May 6, 2021

I once checked into an appart. hotel to find it only had a bedroom, bathroom and cupboard. Before checking out I looked in cupboard only to find the rest of the suite with kitchen, stocked fridge and lounge with bay windows over looking the sea.

When I moved in with my now husband, he bought his ‘black and white TV’ which he’d had for 7 years. Within a day I’d changed the contrast and it was no longer black and white….

Even better, he then remembered changing the contrast to b&w years ago to wind his brother up…

I bought an old house (400yrs oldish) back in 1999. The seller had bought it in 1969 as a 2 bed. In 1971 she had roofers to re-tile. They found a 3rd bedroom that had been shut off and sealed for possibly 100+ years. Builders found the door and staircase after some searching

Just like there are many people who don’t realise that most cars have an arrow on the the fuel gauge display to indicate which side the tank can be filled up from. pic.twitter.com/EPQy0lWtMx

I replaced my dishwasher as I couldn’t fit wine glasses in the top rack. Even took glass measurements with me to curry’s. Flicking through the new manual I discovered the top rack could move up and down – snazzy! Wait, what?… checked the old one…yup 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
