Anyone Know A Real Hoarder?

(no message)

The word hoarder can be used loosely at times, I am talking about someone who throws nothing away. Thinks there is some use they can get out of just about everything they see so they keep it or pick it up to keep it.

He should do us a favor and hoard your wheelchairs

Used to have a client whose house I visited and his parents were well on their way. In addition to having piles of shite thy just lived like hoarders...it blew my mind. Their sink/counter was invisible due to a constant mound of dirty dishes and pots, most the time the stove was covered as well. In the years going over their all of the smoke detectors were beeping due to low batteries and they NEVER fixed them...just lived with the beeping. All of the families clothes were in one giant pile that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in the parents room...I watched this kid get told to put on something nice....he grabbed a moldy wrinkled pair of jeans from the middle if this mega pile. The daughter slept on the couch because there was so much shite piled up in her room.

But here was the kicker:
They only had one functioning bathroom and I would from time to time ask to use it. ...they light bulbs was burnt out and of course they didn't bother to fix it so most days I used my phone flashlight to find generally where the toilet was and piss. Well one day I said I needed light so they gave me a lamp and an extension chord
What I saw was horrifying! The toilet was full of stagnant piss and looked like it hadn't been flushed in a few days (no idea where they shat), there were flies buzzing around and caked on piss everywhere around the toilet. The tub had a caked on layer of brown residue, the sink was crusted with scum.... I firmly believe a few people in 3rd world countries had better hygiene conditions.

From that point on if I needed to use the bathroom I'd make up an excuse to need to go to the store and use a gas station bathroom. To this day I have trouble comprehending how people could have lived there that way....the whole thing blows my mind

What the hell did he think he could do with those?

I didn’t even question it. It was par for the course for him. He passed this last May and we’ve finally got rid of almost all of his junk. My MIL is happy she can park in her garage again. About the only thing left to liquidate is the 1922 Chevy. Before he died he did try to get rid of it, sort of. He called a local Chevy dealership and offered to trade it... even trade now... for a brand new Corvette.

This 1922 chevy?



Even trade?

I remember driving to a party with some people including my sister. We were late and my sister sees a chair on the street. I says pull over I want that chair. I said no because we were late. She got pissed and raised a fit.. so we pulled over and put the chair in the car..
I haven't been to her house in some years but at that time she had a bedroom full of all kinds of crap. She also collects dogs and cats..
