Why is "all doors and stairways are accessible" checked off on every level

I noticed that, I think they just hosed up the format. Light clutter and no odor is also ticked for each one. I think that category system just treats level one a bit different in how the define it than the other levels, and they either didn't notice or they didn't care when they did up the chart.

Possibly they just thought it made the chart not look neat enough. drat neat freaks always judging other people!!!!

Gently enveloping the target with indiscriminate love.
I think cleaning up for "stealth"/low key horders can be even more annoying then stereotypical hoarders. The people who love hoarding, but are careful to keep anything perishable out of their hoards.
I was cleaning out my father's hoard in summer while he was in the hospital. I started with a moving box of papers that he told me needs to sorted.
It was 60% used mail envelopes, 30% 20 year old advertisements, 10% 20 year old bank statements. And around 10% brown smoker dust by wight. And a single photo of my great-grandfather, that I actually want to keep.
Because of that find I had to search the other 30 identical boxes, too. If it had been a rotten slice of cheese instead, I could have just thrown all the boxes away.

The idea of a place being called "Chuck's Suck & Fuck" is, first of all, a little hard to believe
since we're on the subject of hoarding, have yall ever heard of the collyer brothers? I think theirs is the first high profile hoarding case. It was extremely bad even by todays standards, it was so bad it actually directly led to one of their deaths. And not in like a "invalid passes away and leaves behind a hoarder house" kind of way, but in a "crushed to death by a booby trap" kinda of way. loving wild story. It was front page news all over the nation for months. After one was found dead, the police initiated a massive manhunt to find the other. They eventually found him, weeks later, right next to the body they had already found.

wikipedia posted:

By the early 1930s, the Collyer brothers' brownstone had fallen into disrepair. Their telephone was disconnected in 1937 and was never reconnected, as the brothers said they had no one to talk to. Because the brothers failed to pay their bills, the electricity, water, and gas were turned off in 1938.[5] They took to warming the large house using only a small kerosene heater. For a time, Langley attempted to generate electricity by means of a car engine. Langley would fetch their water from a pump in a nearby park.[21] Their only link to the outside world was via a crystal radio that Langley made

wikipedia posted:

After the discovery of Homer Collyer's body, rumors began circulating that Langley had been seen aboard a bus heading for Atlantic City. A manhunt along the New Jersey shore turned up nothing. Reports of Langley sightings led police to a total of nine states.[37] The police continued searching the house, removing 3,000 books, including several outdated phone books, a horse's jawbone, a Steinway piano, an early X-ray machine, and more bundles of newspapers.[38] More than nineteen tons of junk were removed from the ground floor of the brownstone. The police continued to clear away the brothers' stockpile for another week, removing another eighty-four tons of trash and junk from the house. Although a good deal of the junk came from their father's medical practice, a considerable portion was discarded items collected by Langley over the years. Approximately 2,000 people stood outside the home to watch the clean-up effort.[12]

On April 8, 1947, a workman found the body of Langley Collyer ten feet from where Homer had died. Langley was found in a two-foot (60 cm) wide tunnel lined with rusty bed springs and a chest of drawers. His decomposing body, which was the actual source of the smell reported by the anonymous tipster, had been partially eaten by rats[21][40][41] and was covered by a suitcase, bundles of newspapers and three metal bread boxes.[39] The medical examiner determined that Langley had died around March 9.[35] Police theorized that Langley was crawling through the tunnel to take food to his paralyzed brother when he inadvertently tripped a booby trap he had created and was crushed by debris.[42] His death was attributed to asphyxiation.[35]

digital hoarding is fairly justified imo. when companies can revoke content you've paid for, and delete it off your hard drive, it's fair to fight back.

digital hoarding seems to be the default way a large percentage of people use computers, or at least use to. I think it might of gotten a bit better since everyone just streams everything now or has it on some cloud service.

But yeah it use to be most people would only delete thing when they run out of space on their hard drive. Now people just don't run out of space on their hard drive. Sure if your into video games or video editing or something, but for a lot of people a terabyte hard drive may as well just be infinite space.

I hovered over the youtube poo poo video and decided against clicking it. Little victories.

I'm reminded of an old girlfriend from years ago who's house was just a disaster. She had a bedroom in her parents basement and you had to go through this narrow path between piles of junk to get to it. Her room made my current office look tidy. Just hampers strewn about the floor, clothes never packed away, she also refused to wear matching socks. She had an ex boyfriend she met on WoW I think she may have wound up with again afterwards.

The calling card of my hoarding is boxes. Cant throw away boxes of anything that cost any sort of money, neve know when you may need them. Warranty returns? Make the thing appear well taken care of if I sell it? I have gotten better lately though and expunged most from the garage. My wife, meanwhile, is some sort of secret monk and rejects worldly possessions, and has but two joys: putting things away, and then throwing them away (usually my things).

WE WILL CONTROL
ALL THAT YOU SEE
AND HEAR
I lived with a guy who was a hoarder. It wasn't apparent before we lived together, but he was severely mentally ill and dealing with substance abuse problems. He steadily filled his room up with garbage that he said he would "clean up and sell." He brought home a whole desk one time but couldn't get it up the stairs so he left it there on them. That was sort of when I started putting my foot down and telling him he needed to clean up or get out.

My other roommate moved out because of the hoarding guy, and he immediately asked if he could move a mattress into the empty room because his was covered in trash.

But the worst part wasn't the hoarding, it was the manic 'cleaning' behavior where he'd take stuff outside and pour water on it, or fill the bathtub with clothes I had no idea if he ever dried afterwards. This all came to a head one night when I came home late to find music blaring, his poo poo moved into the empty room, and both the bathtub and sink overflowing, soaking the whole hallway and causing water damage to the store downstairs. He also forgot something in the oven and had the whole kitchen filled with smoke before I opened the windows.

Yet worse, I learned laterthat at some point thst night he decided to 'clean' his laundry in the tub better, by mixing vinegar and bleach. His brother helped me get him out of the place and into rehab.
