I've made a couple of disgusting posts with no explanation because they were funny, but I gotta come clean with this one - I live like a bit of a pig, yes, but I also work as a maintenance man for a local housing authority, and regularly encounter some fairly rank situations. Some of them are due to regular poor housekeeping, some mental illness, and some because of addiction. All of them are interesting, I think.

I have a couple others that I think I can share without breaking any laws.

It should be noted that the worst of these date from just after COVID-19; there was an eviction moratorium, and people literally stopped caring about housekeeping notices and warnings. The typical apartment looks NOTHING like this nowadays.

Glue traps are barbaric! Use a different type of trap other than glue trap

Wasn't my trap, but also it's government housing; they're lucky we aren't required to waterboard them.

How do people live like that?

Humans are surpringly adaptable and thus susceptible to maladaptive behaviours too. With the right mix of mental illness and self-medication, humans can normalize in some seriously messed up environments.

For me it was poor mental health and self medicating with alcohol and various drugs. Pretty hard to clean the apartment when you can’t even get yourself to shower.

I've had my rough patches as well. Depression -> addiction -> tunnel vision. Took a couple of close calls, but we made it. High-fives in the chat

I know a guy that literally lives under a bridge. Gets offered jobs all the time, but would rather walk around picking up cans to recycle for cash, and then he goes back to his catwalk.

A while back I saw a local post about a guy with donkeys walking through town. There’s picture and a URL on the packs of one of his donkeys, I look it up, and he apparently just walks from southern to central California and back each year with his donkeys every spring and fall, and has been doing it for over a decade. He sleeps outside and eats mostly lentils and rice. It takes all sorts. Honestly, living under a bridge or outside with donkeys sounds preferable to the pictures posted by OP.

I feel like I'm having deja vu right now. Have you told this story here before? Do I have dementia?

At any rate, I admire these people. The tramps, not the slobs. So free.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Possibly? I thought I had only talked about it with my husband, but maybe not

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

MARGARET??

lol, nah that'd be funny.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Normal is what you’re used to.

That Dr Pepper mushroom might even be edible.

[–] radiouser@crazypeople.online 8 points 3 days ago

all mushrooms are edible (once!)

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Where do you think the 23 flavors come from?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

Oh, I thought that was an old coffee filter somebody threw in the corner.

I think I'm gonna go puke my pants now.
