How does this photo lead to an apartment rental? http://www.postlets.com/create/photos/20070908/154121_DSC01732.JPG
― KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 18:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Are you saying that's the *only* photo of the apartment?
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 18:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I will not mention it except vaguely, but I am still curious about the man on the end of that other thread that can do that thing. It seems very special to me, but for all I would know, 50% of everyone can do it. How would I know? Where do I find this research?
xpost Shower curtains are very hard to buy yourself, and so increase the value of an apartment hugely.
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 18:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Is that the only photo in the post? I like seeing each room, including the bathrooom.

Do you guys think I should go back to playing a semihollowbody guitar? They have this guitar at Music-Go-Round for pretty cheap, and it got good ratings on Harmony Central:

I like it. Go try it out after work!
Usually, the toilet photo isn't the only one, but I think if a view doesn't "sell" it has no place in an ad. If anything, that kind of photo would deter me from checking a place out.
― KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, I think it's fine if it shows several photos of the apartment and that's one of them. That photo at least shows me that the bathroom is kind of small.

I think my favorite was Michael's long drawn-out description of the various animal gods they might have to make sacrifices to. Such a weird scene.
