Fug a Stove

Why waste lovely space that can be used housing cheap shelving unit by placing a stove in that space? I mean, what makes you think that just because it's a kitchen in an occupied house for sale that there's going to be a stove in it?

And really now, would you rather see that dollar store shelving unit in there, or see what really happened to that stove?

(Photo represents the assumed fate of the missing appliance. The fate of the ham that was inside that oven remains unknown.)

I know that sometimes when kitchens are renovated, the owner cheaps out and doesn't supply a stove, but nothing about this kitchen indicates that it's been renovated within the past ten years. Why go out of one's way to stuff a storage unit in there unless this is indicative of how these people live, day after day after cooking-free day? Once upon a time I lived in an apartment with a stove that hadn't worked in years, but at least it was there as a comforting placeholder. This, is just, jarring.

Fug a stove. That's what the tiny dorm-size microwave is for. In a neighborhood chock full of fast-food hell holes, who needs a stove? People who cook? WTF is that all about?
