How can people live like this.....

Jonny · 21st of August 2007 (Tue)

Before i start i must confess that i am no angel when it comes to all maters domestic but i do have some standards.

In my job i travel to many private homes and have noticed that there are so many people that live like animals. I have been complaining recently about one particular house that i have been sent to on several occasions and my bosses didn't believe it could be that bad.
So i grabbed some shots to explain why i wasn't going back again.

What these pics do not give you are the stench that accompanied the mess. The white/yellow sheets in centre of the first image and lined soaked (but drying) in urine.

The two rooms shown are the bedrooms, i don't know where the physically sleep. 3 people live here.

Suddenly i feel so much better about the small mess i leave hanging around at home!

When I invited you into my room I didn't think you were going to post photos to the Internet .... sheesh....

Just kidding - seriously though - how does one walk?

Sad only if you cannot look after yourself.

Plain disgusting on most occasions. It is not until you work in a field where you visit peoples houses that you realize how many people live like this.

I try hard not to judge but when you are faced with this it is hard.

I often feel bad about the condition I leave things in and then I see something like that or watch that show Clean Sweep on TLC and I too feel all better

I guess I don't really need to clean my house afterall.

Holy S.

WOW! i just feel a whole lot better about my house. we just moved here so we still have some boxes lying about. but nothing to this degree. holy crap. someone should say something to them. and i can only imagine what their house smells like. i have had many friends who's house smells horrible. YUCK! im shocked.

Wow... what kind of work do you do that puts your health in danger going into homes like this?

buto · 21st of August 2007 (Tue)

I guess the one good thing is that it's not rotten food...

Isn't it obvious? They're on POTN so much that they can't possibly budget the time to clean. You really only need so much space around the computer...

This is more than being messy. This is compulsive hoarding and is considered a serious mental health problem.
