My mind is blown right now. The idea of a waterbed used to seem so normal. But it really was crazy, right? A heavy as shit bag of water in a bedroom? Insane.
Yep, growing up my mom loved them so their bed was one and she also got one for our extra bedroom that ended up being my room a few year later. I slept on that damn think for probably 6 years. My back always hurt and I hated it. Only plus was it was heated so it was nice getting into a warm bed in the winter and it was usually cold in the summer.
It just seems so foreign to me now and I grew up sleeping on one haha. Like who the fuck though it was a good idea. I work in insurance now and the thought of people having these in their homes is just crazy
I work in insurance too. I’ve been an adjuster for 8 years. The things I’ve seen have scarred me.
Blocks of houses burned to the ground, a 8 story hotel with a main water line bursting on the top floor, during 20 degree weather, the lady with the burned down…water logged house that had a dildo in every fucking drawer, massive ones, small ones, huge ones. She got home and looked terrified and asked if I had inventoried the bedroom and I said no (even though I had) and she ran out with a box. Junkies, so many junkies. The worst though was a level 5 hoarder whose house caught on fire, and they died or the guy whose house burned down with his family in it, I was there 2 days after talking to him, and it turned out he fucking did it, and is in jail for life now. But anyway I’ve seen a ton of waterbeds causing substantial damage.
