Filthy people

[scoobydooby]

Where's the most disgusting home you have visited? Why do some people choose to live in squalor? I understand that some people have issues due to mental health, vulnerability, old age etc. but what about others who live this way through choice? Why would they want to?

Hi scoob I am an electician (oh jesusI cant spell at this time on a sunday) and I have seen so many places that people live in and I dont know how some people live in so much pig sh@t I can asure you scoob I have seen it and smelt it all and it is not very nice my man
And wat do you all think about jaws in cornwal (scuse spelling again) has the sun been overboard on it or what

Well I can only second what KP says, cos I am also an electrician and most of my work is call outs to council properties 99% are great but every couple of weeks we get called to one that is gross, i have seen excrement wiped up the walls, bathrooms that have had to have the floor replaced because pee has rotted the boards, dogs kept under stairs and never let out so you can imagine the stench, the funniest one I had was kitchen light not working,

there was nothing wrong with the light, the flouorescent lamp was so greasy no light was coming through it, I could go on for ages but it is early and if I did tell you some of the things we see, you might puke. why they live like it, I cannot say, but most of these people do not have mental issues they are just filthy.

Do you ever watch" How clean is your house " , How can people take part ? I would be to embarrassed to let a film crew in , and then broadcast it to the nation !! What are they like !!
Do they get paid ?

My house is cluttered, but clean. 3 bikes, 3 guitars, books galore, I think you have to be sensible. Many times I have tried to declutter, take stuff to charity shops etc, but at the end of the day I just like being surrounded by books, bikes, guitars, pianos, etc.

Go go Lewis !!! Funny old situation in F1 at the moment.

Hi scoobydooby, I think a lot of emphasis is placed on tidiness as cleanliness, but they are 2 very different things, aren't they!

Of course, there are some people who really can't motivate themselves to keep their environment clean and habitable, but I can't understand people who just don't bother. People csn't say they don't have time, for example, as I know people who have families and full-time work, and they manage well enough.

I probably clean the house thoroughly once a week, kitchen more often, as the man isn't very tidy! He works full-time, whereas I work part-time and am a student too so don't mind doing the bulk of the chores. Sometimes I just can't be bothered, but I never let it slip to the point where the carpet is squelchy and the dust covers everything! On my last placement, I saw some pretty filthy houses, not just messy but really dirty. I couldn't "choose" to live like that: my immune system couldn't cope!

Also ....the dirtier the house, the more they keep asking if you want a cup of tea...fluuuuuuurch!

[scoobydooby]

Ha Ha, that's so true Elvis. You always have to say 'No thank you, I've just had one'. I visited one place where the kids were sat at the kitchen table eating their tea (greasy sausages and deep fried chips - in year old oil) and the cat was being sick under the table - and not for the first time by the looks of what was already under there! Kids didn't bat an eyelid though. And come to think of it, I moan at my kids for not putting their ironing away! Maybe I'm being too harsh - just like they tell me!! I'm not over the top when it comes to cleaning - not by a long shot but some people just take it too far. Love some more stories if anyone's got any!

And I bet half of these people work as "cleaners" in the NHS. No wonder there's MRSA and C diff etc!

What about the men and women who wear the same shirt or clothes everyday? Good job they have strong deodorant nowadays!
