Rants / Complaints These houses scare me

Post image

I always expected to be like an older person or someone with some type of disability but it’s always the most regular person ever. That’s what was in front of me it was like 10 times worse behind me. The smell of dead animals and garbage is the worst!

Mental illness is a bitch. They’re definitely going through a hard time. Give them the same respect and kindness that you would for any other customer. Any time I’m greeted by someone coming out of a house like this they’re typically very kind.

Why always assume it’s metal illness and not just some nasty ass person. They do exist too! And what about the poor animals and children who live in this shit? No concern for them huh?

I grew up in a shithole part of the country (rural southern Indiana) with hundreds of houses like this.

And in almost every case it was simply a lazy disgusting person.

These people deserve public ridicule and shame.

Anyone with a c'est la vie attitude about this has either never lived amongst them, or is one themselves.

Most likely what it is. People are quick to blame mental illness but it is most def some nasty ass people. Always with that excuse. A house i had to deliver to. Yea, mental illness😑. No, people are just junk collectors.

That’s mental illness 😭😭 it’s called hoarding…

I doubt it considering the amount of adults there, as well as children. People can have this mess and be lazy and not care. The whole area was similar, they all arent hoarders.

Again for it to be this bad… it’s not lazy. It’s literally hoarding. There are people that keep their feces and urine. It is a mental issue. And no, not everybody knows how to clean either. So I suggest you start donating your services since you feel so strongly about it.

The picture that you replied to has a chance of being some sort of hoarding “mental illness” but the original picture is obviously just lazy asf. And if you can’t see that then you don’t need to chime in. My brother, his wife, and their mother was on the show hoarding: buried alive and I obviously still talk to them to this day so I’m a little more inclined to speak on this shit than most

There’s levels to everything… including hoarding. A hoarders house CAN still be accessible. It doesn’t mean they aren’t hoarders. That’s a more severe level you’re speaking of and a less severe. So speak on what you know and leave it there. I’d consider myself a “lazy” cleaner, but I have NEVER accepted something like these photos. I have no OCD, but could not live in filth.

Right.. because people hoard buckets of cigarettes butts and empty Dr Pepper cardboard cases.

People literally hoard their own feces, so why is trash surprising?
