Nah Brehs, I Refuse To Believe Hoarders Is A Real Show

[Krisrunner2049]

Reminds me of when I was walking in the neighborhood and saw someone’s living room was stacked with newspapers and random bs. Couldn’t hide my feeling

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Ive seen it first hand... it’s real

I've seen stuff like that in-person and it was normally senior citizens. They weren't mentally ill. They were, for lack of a better term, abandoned by their family or had no immediate family or friends to help them.​

breh my girls is a hoarder for 10% when watch the show it's like watching her. that shyt's real

This is just plain sad. Ain't nothing funny about this.

 

[Kinguno]

There's no way ppl live like this.... in real life...

This has to be a mental disorder

It had to be mental disorder

Yes because it is on the show they don’t bring in psychologists for no reason

As someone who goes into 5-10 different houses nearly everyday, that shyt is real and way more common than you think

I can get into it deeper if yall want but my pops has the potential for this. I moved back to my hometown last year. My moms was already on her last leg dealing with him. My dad is a selfless dude and his side of the family really ran him through the ringer. Depression set in and drinking started and early set on dementia.

I came home at the right time to help him. My parents house has all of these unfinished products going on. Kitchen renovations where stalled. In the living room there was piles of stuff that he meant to put in storage. They had a full storage unit also. And one of their rental properties is a 4 story building with a huge basement. That basement was also full of shyt.


I showed up and was This is NOT my dad. He is a electrical engineer ( retired two years ago ) Very analytical and everything was always in order. I said naw I have to get this shyt in order. . . But as a man it was and still is a sticky situation. My mom's patience is very thin at this point. She has been dealing with this for a while. So she wants me to come in and just take all this shyt over.

I am more than willing to do that. but as I told her. He is a M A N. A proud man. A man who got his family out of the mud with hardwork and was a homeowner at 21 in a suburb where he he was not supposed to be able to afford. So he has been the king of his castle since before I was born. He loves me. I am his first born son. But he is not BUILT to let another man come into his house and move his shyt around without a fight.

Its not rational but it is what it is. Finally got my mom to understand that. So we are making progress and getting him help.If he was left unchecked he could easily be a full blown hoarder. My mom made a apt observation one day. She said he likes the clutter around the house because his mind is cluttered.

before i moved into the building im in, one of the people in the other units was a hoarder. the people living there told me it was a nightmare. after she got evicted her rooms floor was coated in rat shyt and there was random garbage everywhere

i went into a house that had been taken over by hoarders who were also squatters junkies and queers

i saw rat feces on the floor next to their beds and clothing. even dead mice right next to their sleeping spaces. all types of drug shyt. i'm pretty sure fentanyl was just floating in the air. they had pill presses everywhere n shyt. but worst of all an assortment of sex toys

told the owner to burn that house

A lot more people than you think do

 

[MischievousMonkey]

I know someone who manages apartments for young folks and they discover a hoarder every few years. They're betrayed by the smell which the neighbors end up noticing, mistakenly believing it comes from a corpse.

They have to call a cleaning company that pulls up equipped with masks and plenty tools to pick up, scratch, wash.

Depression is no joke.

The key is to slowly get rid of shyt everyday and they won’t notice

I seen someone in traffic yesterday who’s car was filled to the brim with trash.

I had a great aunt who live like this. It was bad man, she had piss buckets throughout the yard. Aunts and uncles came by to check on her and help. She was not trying to change. I was very young at the time l, so i’m not sure what she going through.
