When my husband and I moved in together, he brought with him a loveseat that can only be described as heinous. Though, not as heinous as the couch that is pictured- this is a runnerup from the World’s Ugliest Couch competition. I ended up taking my husband’s ugly couch to Goodwill, where some other bachelor could enjoy the ugliness.
Seems I’m not the only wife who feels that way:
This weekend I was looking at Craigslist and for the first time ever
noticed there was a free section. Always up for a bargain, I clicked
over, not sure what I’d find.The following is an actual ad (no, you can’t make this stuff up):
I hate to part with this couch, but my
wife is making me get rid of it. It’s a real *love* seat if you know
what I mean! New owners may want to invest in a slip cover. Pick up
only.
Oh, can we say ewww? I knew we could. Click on over to see this particular ugly couch. Tell me, did you inherit a particularly ugly couch when you got married/started living together? Did your parents pawn an ugly couch off on you? We want to hear about it!









OK…I had to search and the ad is still up:

Funny – my husband posted something remarkably similar a few months back trying to get rid of the couches he has from his parents. Only it was more like – you can have them for free if you promise to make a big deal, in front of my wife, of how comfortable you think they are.
