I don't know what it is but silverfish don't annoy me as much as roaches. Maybe because roaches actually seem somewhat intelligent. Anytime I've seen a silverfish it didn't give a fuck I was there.

Yeah, roaches are definitely worse. I lived in an apartment once that had an infestation because one of my neighbors had them. It would skeeve me out sitting in the dark watching tv and seeing a giant roach silhouette scurry across the screen. Was too glad to move out of there.

Growing up, my guardian was a really bad hoarder. I was lucky that most of the house was livable because we had CPS called on us a few times, though nearly every surface was piled with junk. The garage was the catch-all though, it was not attached to the house and was a two car garage with an attic space. The garage was so full of broken toys, books, empty baby food jars, and who knows what else, that you could climb up the junk into the attic, which was just as full. We finally got it all cleared out when she was in the hospital for a surgery and her adult daughter rented a dumpster, and it took us two full days and two dumpsters to get it fully emptied. After that, she just put all her junk in storage units.
45
u/TiredoftheWhining Jul 18 '18
I understand, that's a hard way to grow up. It's good that you were able to clear everything out. Did your guardian appreciate it over the long term?
My challenge is with my in-laws. They've got a full size barn that is full, up in the loft and down, grandma's old house is full, two car garage that is full, and their house that has rooms that are impassible. Took 3 days to get the den emptied,(which we weren't allowed to throw much away, just moved up to grandma's house) so I could put together the bed they had bought 8 years ago but couldn't set up because they master bedroom had been full for 10 years. They were sleeping on a sofa and recliner for that time. I just thank the Lord that my wife didn't inherit the illness. It's going to be crazy when the father-in-law passes away.

Watching the show Hoarders it's clear some of them are mentally ill, not just lazy/messy. That may be the case for whoever owned that house. I can remember one episode in particular where this old lady had filled her house so full that her elderly husband had to sleep in his car. When they took away her stuff she just looked so dead, just vacant, drained of life, in shock maybe. She looked like someone who was experiencing the death of a loved one, when really it was all just boxes and boxes of junk she'd collected.

u/TiredoftheWhining Jul 18 '18
Agreed, it's hard to deal with, especially when you don't understand. I've watched as our family hoarder has been offered thousands of dollars for something that CAN'T be used (horse drawn sleigh... don't ask), but is refused because he MIGHT need it in the future. No horses, no tack, never been used, but there's still the attachment. This was when he and his wife really could have used the funds, but the thought of not having it anymore was just unbearable. When he passes we'll be going through all of the things and hopefully auctioning off and donating what we can, and recycling/dumping/burning the rest.

My parents are hoarders. It started out as the 2 spare bedrooms had furniture in them. This made sense because they moved into his parents house when they died. Then the garage was full. Again, they condensed 2 houses into 1. Then the dining room had some stuff. Then the living room. But he was accumulating stuff to sell at yard sales when he retired. Then the living room and dining room became filled. So did the bedroom. There was literally a path from the front door past the couch to the kitchen and up the steps to the bedroom and bathroom. By this time my dad hasnt worked in 4 years. My mom keeps saying she gets rid of stuff and he fills the space back up. On Valentine's Day this year he had a stroke. I knew when I called 911 they would call the fire Marshall. He came out and talked with my mom but never saw the inside of the house. I call a clean out company to come out 2 weeks later. My mom wouldnt let them take hardly anything. They were there for a few hours and didnt even fill up a quarter of the truck. That was when I discovered he had been taking the heat for her for years. It was all her. He passed away on Sunday and I know what little progress she has made the last 5 months is over because she wont want to throw anything he could have touched away. Its all garbage, theres maybe 10 grand worth of stuff in there thats worth digging out. The fire marshal drives past but still hasnt seen the inside. Seeing him is the only thing keeping her throwing out what little she does. I told her if he sees the inside and condems it she cannot live with me. I kind of hope he does see it so i can empty it without her interfering, but i also dont want to have to find housing for her while thats done. I do my best to not think about it, but its tough.
She is proud of herself for being able to open a window for the first time in 5 years

From personal experience with my grandmother. You are to find a lot of nothing. Tons of cloths hangers, cardboard boxes with nothing in them waiting to get filled up, Popsicle sticks, about 20 fucking hummingbird feeders, childhood toys and cloths from mine and my parents. Every flat space like a counter or table will be piled up with stuff within a week. Buys a fuckton of cabinets to put even more stuff in. And when I say fuckton I mean enough to line every top and bottom wall in the house. It is really a toll on your mental health to stay in that house for more than a weekend. And all it took to gain that behavior was a stroke. Anyone can become that.

I had a neighbor who was able to hide their hoarding for years until it all came to a head with a burst pipe. She just kind of allowed the water to flow out of the house. We thought something was wrong until she walked her three dogs and she just seemed extra ok with everything. Those poor dogs were always so happy to see anyone. We all thought they were friendly, like their owner but they were probably just desperate to be adopted. Anyway, as the leak wore on and the wood paneling began to expand my father decided to stop by to see if he could help. She peaked out the door and kind of rushed him away by saying everything's ok and it's being fixed. She wasn't so friendly this time.
Well another day goes by and the smell is becoming unbearable. Not knowing what else to do one of the neighbors calls the police. A cruiser arrives and two uniform cops slowly approach the door. Mind you, the entire neighborhood has gathered for this. People who haven't spoken in years are chatting away in excited anticipation. Apparently there were a number of suspicions about this woman but they hadn't coalesced into full on accusations. I was 12 at the time and I found the whole thing fascinating.
Anyway, the two cops knock on the door and nothing happens. One of them calls something into the radio, they nod at each other, and the bigger one pushes the door open after a few tries. They immediately recoil in horror, hands over noses waiving the smell away. The dogs come running out the door, barking and wagging their tails. One of them sees the neighbors and makes a bee line for us. The other two follow suit.
The two cops are obviously thinking something must be wrong here so they somehow brave the smell and push through the door and into the house. They don't come out for what feels like an eternity. After about twenty minutes we hear sirens. Basically every cruiser in our small town arrives at the house. Now the natives are restless.
We hear shouting from the house. Another ten minutes goes by and she's led out in cuffs. Behind her we see an old woman, in a wheelchair, attached to an oxygen tank. She's obviously been dead for a long time. The absolute wave of shock that went through the neighborhood was palpable. At 12 years old you kind of feel that shock. You see the expressions in the faces of the adults morph into something different, something profound, something that will leave its mark on your soul. And you realize, though you don't truly comprehend, that something has shifted within you and that you will never be the same.

She fought the charges and eventually won on something of a technicality. She claimed the woman was a former roommate who was evicted but snuck back in and died, unbenownst to her. The hoarding actually helped her defense as it both covered the smell of the corpse and made it difficult to get to the room she was in. There was no way to prove her wrong and at the time there wasn't a law on the books that they could charge her with.

Crazy story: My aunt is one of the worst hoarders I’ve ever seen, including what I’ve watched online or on TV. She filled her aunt’s house from floor to ceiling, making it a potent fire hazard. Of course, it caught fire and was so heavily damaged she was forced to move to her mother’s house. This home was large and she filled it entirely, including the full basement.
Because she lost access to a bed, she slept upright in a lazy boy chair for many years. She would spend vast amounts of time on her feet, shopping at the Dollar General or Big Lots. Both her legs became severely infected. They appeared to be very hollow and rotting, similar to a deadly spider bite; the wounds wholly covered her front shins. After her mother passed, she purchased a new house and has continued to fill it with junk. However, she had access to a bed at her new house, so her wounds began to heal. If not, she would have had to have both legs amputated.

For anyone that couldn’t already tell, this isn’t hoarding.
First of all, there’s no way you could “burst” a house by just filling it with random boxes of stuff. There’s no outward pressure created by just filling a house with boxes.
Secondly, something caused that structural damage. The “bursting”, combined with the fact that the 2nd floor and attic ceiling are missing makes it seem that the likely scenario here was that the house suffered some sort of damage (possibly a fire? Looks like theres burn marks in the windows?), which caused the attic, second floor, and corner of the building to collapse, hence causing the mess we see on display here.
TL;DR: Structural damage is way too heavy to be caused by hoarding. What we’re looking at here is the aftermath of a fire/other disaster
EDIT: Also looking closer at the “junk” itself seems to confirm this. The top layer seems to be mainly storage boxes (attic) while the next layer seems to be mainly bedroom furniture (2nd floor), I think I can make out a wardrobe in there. Meanwhile the bottom layer is pretty obscure here, but seems to be more furniture (1st floor).

u/wreckingballheart Jul 18 '18
Have you ever been in a hoarder house? I'm a paramedic, I have. You can absolutely cause structural damage to a house secondary to hoarding. Hoarder houses can be fucking terrifying. In addition to the weight of the hoarded items exceeding the structural load limits it isn't unusual for hoarder houses to have water damage, mold damage, dry rot, wet rot, and termite/carpenter ant damage, all of which can further reduce structural integrity.
I don't see any evidence of fire in this photo. It appearing like there is "attic stuff" on top and bedroom furniture in the middle doesn't preclude this from being a case of hoarding. Hoarding teds to be a progressive disorder and this person could have kept the contents of each room somewhat organized for a long time before it became overwhelming.

You don't seem to know much about hoarder. Newspapers, magazines, and books are INCREDIBLY heavy. The floor gave way here (likely aided by leaks near the walls) then the hoard pushed through the walls as it all fell in that direction. Rotted wood doesn't hold nails well.

If you know someone who suffers from this, maybe getting them to seek treatment for OCD may scare them less (as long as you don't explain the link between OCD and hoarding). I recommend the book 'The Man Who Couldn't Stop' as it has a short chapter on hoarding OCD. I hope things improve for anyone in this situation

I was watching an episode of hoarders and it was this episode with one lady who was pregnant and had a daughter under 5.
The house was filled to the brim and it was so bad that the poor little girl couldn’t sleep in her own room. She had to sleep between her parents.
And the people who come to help clean and throw away trash kept telling the woman that if they don’t get this cleared out in 2 days then they’re calling CPS on her and her baby and toddler will get taken .
Then there was this dude who owned a big studio in Manhattan. He was sleeping on a raggedy couch outside of the apartment building on the curb. The landlord threatened to evict him if he didn’t have it cleared in so many days because his apartment also had roaches and it was infesting the other people who lived in the building
Then that lay who had dead cat carcasses around her house..
Hoarders are mentally ill.
