Oh Hoarders, Sometimes You Take Me to a Very WTF Place

[cinema_babe]

Slack jawed yokel that I can be, I watch this show and secretly pat myself on the back for not being *that* bad of a housekeeper. Not a lot on that show shocks me but tonight there was a hoarder who went to a place so distributing it still give me the willies.

Among the hoarded paper and boxes and old food and rat poop. this woman was hoarding her own pee. I know there's a Bear Grylls joke in there somewhere but right now I'm just too stupefied. She was hoarding her own pee glass jars *and* she never flushed the toilet when she did #2. Yes, she hoarded poop as well.

Excuse me while I crawl into a corner and curl up into a ball and cry.

ETA:
Now they are featuring a woman who lines her toilet with a plastic bag, sort of like the ones you get at the supermarket. and when it got full, according to her she hits it with some Febreeze and tosses it out with the garbage.

I need to go to my happy place. Now!

My guess is that garbage men are not big fans of dog pooper scooper laws.

I could only watch it twice, but the second time had positive outcomes. The first two were chillingly horrible. It wasn't the hoards - it was the people. They were just pure, concentrated evil.

Disturbingly fascinating

The priority must of course be to help these people and to get the places cleaned up. But at the same time there seems to be such an obvious disconnect that my curiosity is kicked into overtime. It's such a mystery. To hoard and become overwhelmed by messes that develop in conjunction I can understand. But to actually see some reason not to dispose of human waste or favor an inferior method is mind boggling to me. *off to play on Google scholar*
