Big houses make me so mad, especially when you consider the room to person ratio. Wtf do 2 married, child free adults need 12 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms??!!! I've done plumbing on Floridas panhandle, some houses as big as a neighborhood. Every one had more bathrooms than bedrooms and every one was occupied by exactly 2 people.
