Have you ever thought of all the useless things that you have in your house? While eating my bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and looking around my house this morning, I realized that I have some useless things that I have in my house. To give you an idea of what I am talking about, here are some examples of the most useless things in my house…
A VCR. We have not 1, but 2 VCRs. Do we use either one? No. Is either one actually hooked up to a TV? No. Since getting our new TV a few months ago, we finally unhooked all the VCRs in the house. For the longest time, one of the VCRs was only used for a clock in the living room. We did not even have it hooked up to the TV. When Gaby was a puppy, she ate the remote for that VCR and that was pretty much the end of using that electronic device because I was not going to actually get off my butt to start/stop the VCR.
$50 DOG BED IN THE LIVING ROOM. We spoil our two dogs. It’s true, I know it. We are still in the dog stage and we spoil them. We have two dog beds in our house. One is in the kitchen and gets used everyday. The other is in our living room and never gets used. We bought this $50 dog bed for the living room and our dogs have never slept on it one time. (For the record, if I had a choice between a dog bed on the floor and a nice couch, I would sleep on the couch too.) The worst part about this dog bed is that we bought it because it matched our color scheme of our living room. Take away my man card now.
THE KITCHEN TABLE. Unless it is a special occasion, our kitchen table does not get used. When it is just Heather and I, we are either using TV trays in the living room or at the stools at the kitchen counter. I am positive that will change when we have kids. We will start having more “family dinners”. Until then, TV trays work just fine.
THE FOLLOWING DVDs: THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, DUDE, WHERE’S MY CAR?, CLASH OF THE TITANS, & A MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL. Enough said.
MY ALARM CLOCKS WHEN THEY ARE SET BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP. Can you say snooze?
ALL OF OUR NICE CUPS. We have all these really nice glassware that we have used like 3 times in almost 5 years of marriage. Why use nice cups when SOLO makes such a classy, sturdy, red plastic cup?

What about you? What are some of the most useless things in your house?
In my house, the question isn’t about useless things but about unused things.
And anything we do not use goes to waste.
Start using that dining table more – I skinned up one of my knuckles and dripped a little sweat putting that thing together…
a piano…and a swing set outside
ditto the Fancy cups. We use cups from my fav BBQ place in Austin- Rudy’s instead of real glass cups.
JP – your blood better not be on my kitchen table…
The house phone, shoes, wedding silver…
$50 for a dog bed? Dude….
My desk in the “office”, which is actually a dining room without a table or chairs, a chair in my bedroom – it matches, yes, but just holds clothes, and patio chairs – NEVER been sat in..
