+333 it's not "hoarding: buried alive" it's "too damn lazy to take the trash out so I guess I'll just be: buried alive", amirite?

That show annoys me. They never really show the people getting helped. It's just, "Here's Nancy, she's a hoarder. It started 10 years ago when her husband died." then BAM! next story... "Here's Ted, he's a hoarder and his family is at risk."

My parents tell me I'm going to end up like the people on that show because I don't clean my room often enough. I usually just roll my eyes and go back to my music.

Mine don't seem to get that it's MY room. Sure, it's their house, but they're never in my room. Nobody is, except for me. It annoys me how worked up they get over it.

Human ignorance is one of the worst things on this planet. Hoarding is a psychological problem, and if you've watched the show, the victims flip a shit whenever someone tries to throw their garbage away. If they were lazy, they would just sit back and let the producers do all the work.

Our tenant is a hoarder- it's horrifying how bad it is.

It's not that they are lazy. There have psychological attachments to things. Objects serve as their security blanket, so they cannot part with them. Every person has a bit of hoarder in them...like when you won't give your old stuffed animals away, except real hoarders take this to the extreme. Most of them don't collect trash, so it's not about taking the trash out. They collect items that you can get from shopping and garage sales.

don't get me wrong,i do understand the psychological disorder aspect of it, and in some cases it comes in to play, but dont tell me you havent seen the episodes of the obese couple, one stops cleaning, out of spite so does the other and bam, poor little hoarders. most of the time its pure laziness. and you won't see that hoarding shit in a place like africa.
