Anybody know any hoarders?

Dude on here Sunday was talking about how he had like 40 clocks to change cause he buys every clock he sees.....seems coo-coo just like any hoarder.

I also don't understand why they bother helping these people. The second they started stonewalling and refused to throw stuff away I'd say frick it and leave

Because it's basically a mental illness?

Can you imagine the smell in some of these houses?

I watched an episode last night about a woman in Denham Springs who hoards animals. It was nuts.

Also, why are the bathrooms always so filthy. I could understand the clutter, but having a disgusting bathroom

Something that has happened with the tv shows on hoarding is that family members have found they are not alone. So many have lived in isolation because they couldn't or were forbidden to bring friends home to play.

There are some forums out there where family members exchange horror stories and also talk about support groups.

As one of the cleaners said, "We're all just five bad decisions from hoarding."

I find that watching Hoarders makes me want to clean out closets and cabinets.

Aren’t bathrooms usually the toughest rooms to clean in a house?

I had a client whose oldest daughter was one....she also had numerous mental issues as well. It was ridiculous, she never threw anything away....anything. She had like 10 years worth of Times Picayune's- chronological order in stacks up to the ceiling. Plastic grocery bags everywhere in nice little bundles, 4 cats......1 dead for ....a long time under some fallen debris. It was bad.

They did have a guy a few episodes back who had a 20,000 sqft building full of arcade games(all functional). He had no family, and the place was very well organized, like a museum. I'm not sure why they had him on there

Many....clothes were her big thing, but she never used her washing machine. She was a big girl and about 50 when I dealt with her father who was in his late 70's. Panties, bras, blouses, shoes, socks, sweaters....lots of rain jackets.....she did keep current on her water bill, electric bill and cable......weird, weird shite
