LOL !


You may find that funny, and it is in it's own weird way, but as a professional fire fighter I loath people like that. Their homes are a disaster waiting to happen, and when the place is on fire, and you have to go in there to locate the fire when it's full of smoke with no visibility, it becomes a fireman's worst nightmare. You walk in, a stack of boxes falls over behind you, and you can't get out. There's not enough room for an average sized person to walk through most of that pig sty of a house, imagine trying to do that in full turnout gear and an airpack on your back.
I've had the pleasure of fighting fires in places like that, and I wanted the home owner arrested for endangering the lives of the responders, but that's not good public relations, so they just got turned over to Human Relations, and told they needed to investigate a change in life style.....:blink:

People like her are sick, and they need to be put in a padded cell with no computer access.....
 
That is mild to what I have seen being in funeral service!! You would bot believe how some people live. Some live in the most worst condition possible. And then they die there for me to pick up!!!!!!

I hear ya. As a Medical Examiners' Agent, in the past, I too have removed several decedents from such places. Usually morbidly obese too.:censored:

What he needs to do is have her committed and then aquire a burn permit for the home and the problem will be solved at a lower price.
 
no wonder theres no rainforests left,between books,cardboard boxes and xerox papers she's got a whole f@cking forest in her house.thats the worst case of compulsive buying disorder i've ever seen,whats worse is someone thats that far off their head has a right to vote.
 
Sadly this is more common than we know! And it is even more prevalent in our little radio world. How many of you guys know of ham and CB shops (or the homes of the owners) that are just chock FULL of radios floor to ceiling. Some of this stuff hasn't worked in DECADES yet the owner holds on to it for dear life. He usually says, "I'm gonna fix (this or that) one of these days". He's got projects he started in 1995, transmitters he started building in '97, and they are sitting there.....just sitting there. (I'm gonna get around to fixing this soon) But he's now approaching 80 and he's got more stuff than he could "get around to" in TWO more lifetimes. :D Yes, he's spry, he still has his mind, can FIX any kind of a radio he sees, can PLAY a guitar like there's no tomorrow (he played in a studio band backing up country stars such as Loretta Lynn and knew Chet Atkins, Flatt and Scruggs. VERY talented; passionate about music AND radio. BUT!!! He's a hoarder!!! He can't seem to STAND to turn loose of anything with the result his shop was so cluttered there were just a couple of narrow paths thru the stacks of radios and electronics piled to the CEILING!!! His yard was about as bad, and when we began to clean out the old shop(s) [He had two buildings FULL of radios and parts], we found a SNAKESKIN :eek: in there so that we were constantly looking around so as not to get bit!!!! You talk about NERVOUS and JUMPY!!!!! WHEW! ;)

It took us (are you ready for this???} FOUR MONTHS to clean out these buildings and haul it to his brother's place where we stored the equipment in a tractor trailer van!!!!!

So, yeah, this is a lot more common that we know!!!!!!!

Actually they should take it slow about just dumping everything at the curb. Never know whats in all those boxes, some of that old stuff is worth alot of money.
 
"some of that old stuff is worth alot of money"
