A woman was puzzled by a bad smell in her bathroom. After investigating, she found out that the previous tenant had a disgusting habit.
TikTok videos exposing the shocking truth went viral, showing the surprises that can come with renting a place.
Julia and her husband recently moved to a new rented house on the Gold Coast in Australia.
They were confused by a constant orange "dirt" that kept showing up in one corner of their shower, even though they cleaned it regularly.
Julia was determined to uncover the truth behind this mystery, so she decided to share her investigation on TikTok.
She documented her efforts to solve the problem and find out why the grime kept reappearing.
Julia posted a video on TikTok where she was shown washing off the brown particles that had collected on the shower floor.
She couldn't believe the odor and persisted in searching for the cause. When she poured more water, bigger brown particles started swirling around.
That's when she spotted what seemed to be large tobacco pieces from cigarettes. Her suspicions were confirmed when she discovered two cigarette butts on the shower floor.
Julia's TikTok video gained attention as people were shocked by the discovery of the former tenant's habit of dumping cigarette butts in the shower, causing the unpleasant smell.
Julia and her partner made a startling revelation that the previous tenant was a smoker who smoked in the shower.
Instead of throwing away the cigarette butts, the tenant had been depositing them in the empty space within the shower frame that runs along the wall.
Julia was shocked and frustrated, exclaiming that the person had been discarding the cigarettes in that small square, resulting in an endless accumulation of cigarette butts.
Viewers were horrified by the revelation, with many expressing their disgust at the former tenant's behavior. Some initially mistook cigarette butts for other substances, such as mushrooms or pasta.
Never thought of renting a bathroom! Might have to get into this niche! One user said.
That’s my worst nightmare. Reminds me of the days people smoked in public swimming pools, the second said.
If you notice a bad smell it's probably the boogers hanging off your nose ring! One joked.
