How messy is your home or apartment?

[Aralis]

Probably not as bad as this:

How can someone live in that????????????????????????????

[Guest Megalicious]

OMG that so sickening.

No normal person COULD live like that, that is a sickness. JFC

[Msterbeau]

Neat. Very neat.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in that....

[Guest Megalicious]

Ditto that.

My apartment is crazy neat, even with a two year old.

[Aralis]

I am a neat freak. I would not be able to even walk thru that place...I would freak out.

[jynxxxedangel]

CHRIST ON A FUCKING BIKE!!!!

The bitch is lucky she didn't burn her goddamn house down, looking at all those cigarette butts laying around!!!!!!!! Hell, the landlord probably WANTS to burn it down and build a new house, now.

The thing I thought quite out of place (as compared to the rest of that inexcusable mess) was the ironing board, with what looked to be clean clothing sitting on it. I don't know why she bothered washing OR ironing anything-- when it's just gonna end up smelling like mounds of stale cigarette butts, and cat piss n' shit.

My place might need a good dusting and vacuuming every so often, but MAN, I could never even imagine living in that sort of filth. What a rat's nest!

My girls must think I'm crazy sometimes the hoops I make them jump through to keep the house clean.

Holy mother of the chocolate jesus crucified cross stick!

o.o

No way dude, I'd be buggin' the FUCK out going anywhere NEAR that nast nest of a house.

How do you accumulate that much TRASH in one living space?

Who raised this person is more important to ask... a living dump mass?

My rooms looking a little unorganized... but it's almost ALWAYS clean down to the way my things are angled and laying on top of my dresser. I have my ocd moments... >>

But damn... seriously? Who the FUCK would live like that? Who COULD?

Totally disgusted.

Pardon me for all the obscenities.

[ashlei]

I clean up my apartment compulsively. This place is always clean!

I don't bother others with my cleaning habits if it isn't any of my business. I mean, I'm not going to bug other people if their place is a mess, but I hate hate hate when people make a mess of my place.

But yeah, if I had a friend who's place looked like that, I'd be too grossed out to visit. I even refuse to use some of my friend's bathrooms because they're so nasty.

[jynxxxedangel]

Maybe the lady who didn't pay her rent has turned into a pizza. That would explain her disappearance.

She must look like Jabba the Hut, judging by her diet.

[anametamystik]

At a certain point, a mess reaches such a critical mass that one person cannot handle it.

[Riku Namako]

OMFG, WTF......

>.>

<.<

that looks just as bad as my ex roomates parents house >.<

hm....come to think of it, their place was far worse, cuz there was dog shit EVERYWHERE >.>;;;;;

geez.....

Hahaha, I'm feeling that might be more possible than not!

Ugh, a Jabba the Hut pizza woman- that's a bit disturbing!

:/

xD

[Aralis]

I am thinking this person might of been a drug addict possibly....or a really large obese person or someone with a serious mental problem who is afraid to throw anything away.

Hmmm.

[Msterbeau]

I have a phobia about being in peoples places if they are poorly kept/cleaned. I try not to stay long.

I was thinking a pillhead, too.

"Pizza the Hut"

[Riku Namako]

"Pizza the Hut"

spaceballs reference ftw

from the looks of things, its true, those pizza boxes didn't collect themselves....

I don't like or try to be judgemental about peoples living situations...but for cryin out loud, why does this look like it belonged to some morbidly obese pot head who gave up on life and had jerry springer airlift their carcuss to the nearest clinic for lipo?

all those posts that mention that sorta thing, are probably 100% correct in their assumptions.

+tax.

[SpidersMoment]

It doesnt surprise me that she has cats. Every slob has at least one cat. I'm just surprise it was just 2. I want to know how she slept. Did she sleep on the couches or on top of all that shit? Open the balconey doors, hook up a shoot and just shovel everything out.

That shit makes me feel better about my house. I thought IT was a sty *sighs in releif*

[sass_in_the_pants]

I don't think this apartment owner was a slob.

I think she was simply not well.

People who are well don't live like this. Do you think the apartment owner LIKED this living situation? The easy answer is 'Sure she did. If she didn't she'd change it!'

That's like telling someone with clinical depression to cheer up. Sometimes, it's just not that easy.

Hoarding is an illness, it is a mental illness, and it can be devastating. It's generally seen with other severe OCD symptoms.

I see this from time to time when I am volunteering and visiting the elderly. They hate the way they live. And they just can't stop.

It contributes to major health problems, too - things like that attract bugs, mold, rats.

It's very, very sad and a difficult compulsion to find effective treatment for.

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

click to read the commets.. its quite entertaining... lol

in all seriousness.... never in my ever loving mind. i am lazy, yes, but when i start tripping over shit (that's not mine, mind you) i make a trash pile, and sweep it towards the door. I REAFUSE to live in anything remotly like that.

granted my room is very cluttered, because i have no storage, but nothing like that... there is not filth...maybe some dust, but that's a health risk... i feel sorry for those that have to live next to that, and the smell seeping through the walls...

wonder how long it took them to clean that?????

[Destroit]

I know people who live like this...I've been in their house.

One friend we know isn't mental or depressed at all...he's just a lazy disgusting loser. Hardly even smokes pot at all. His house is deplorable....almost as bad as this house. I haven't been in there since he kicked some of our friends out for no reason, he's pretty much on everyone's shit list now.

i don't believe they are a slob either. i've seen shows on tv about people like this- compulsive hoarders. they have an illness. they can't/won't throw anything away. not even garbage. so they live like slobs. it is not so much that they are lazy, they are ill. and it's very sad. i can't even imagine being that way.

[jynxxxedangel]

I compulsively horde things (anything recyclable or reusable), and I have gone through bouts of depression where I was a bit lackadaisical about my housekeeping (a sink full of rinsed dishes, a small pile of laundry, slagged off vacuuming for a week or so), but I have NEVER, NEVER let garbage, old food, or cat shit gather in my house!! As for the cleanliness of my W/C's (including the kitties' litterbox room), I NEVER let my toilets, sinks, or bathtubs get grody-- those are things that cannot be compromised for ones home to remain sanitary.

I am actually a compulsive cleaner (it runs in my family), so sometimes I have to MAKE myself keep from falling into that pattern by letting things get a slight bit dirtier than I like. I know it sounds strange, but it works for me to curb that compulsive urge. I've had manic episodes where I've cleaned for three days straight, without stopping. That feeling of lack of self-control frightens me, so I push my compulsion down deep into my subconscious by sheer will.

All of my clutter is hidden. I have an entire room full of boxes, clothing, miscellaneous stuff I have no other space for; but no garbage or filth in there (my cats aren't even allowed in that room)! My closets and drawers are also a bit less than organized. No dirt, garbage, or bio-hazardous waste in there, either. My living space is always kept clutter-free and spacious.

I cannot see how someone can let their home become this bad. At this point, it's not even a HOME anymore. Home is supposed to be a place of comfort-- a place one is glad to return to, not a monument to ones deepest dread. I cannot believe no one was close enough to this woman to recognize the symptoms of her illness. This entire mess could have been avoided if someone had just GAVE A SHIT-- whether it had been the woman herself, a family member, co-worker, or friend.

I don't think that an obsessive compulsive would let their house get like THIS. They would have it terribly and deathly CLEAN, not the way this person is, and eve if they hoard things away it's always organized.

I have bipolar, and apart of manic episodes I experience obsessive compulsive symptoms. Like JynxedAngel said, you obsessively clean, and don't stop... because you don't feel everything is fit yet, but it could be the best cleaning job anyone and their granny had done. I had problems with this, especially when I was younger. If I was stressed out, I'd clean. Even if I was depressed, I'd focus on cleaning. If I was anxious, angry, lonely, troubled, I WOULD CLEAN.

Now it doesn't get too bad, but there will be a random day where I'll go all out in cleaning my room/bathroom.

No, I don't believe ocd would have an affect like this on a person and their state of home. I think some laziness, some depression, and some physical ailment is what did this.

Unless they were a catatonic schizophrenic, then I wouldn't understand who would let them live by themselves though.
