My uncle's best friend who lives in our basement is an absolute goon stereotype in every single goddamn way and his makeshift bedroom would be a fantastic candidate for this thread.

I can't stand going down there for any reason. It is not my job to get him to get his poo poo together, either, so I just let him live in his lair of literal waist-high seas of pizza boxes and soda cans/bottles.

There used to be a giant grey sofa down there in front of his TV. Now there is no sofa in sight. A sea of food-related garbage. Complete with animes and pornstars on the walls, anime figurines, a giant clunky computer setup, and giant stacks of Japanese video games.

He spends all of his money on pizza, soda, and video games, and has no life aspirations or plans to move out of this house which he wasn't supposed to stay in in the first place (but has since I was 8 years old!)

My uncle himself is one of my favourite people in the world. He taught me everything I know about computers and steered me in the direction of programming and building my own setups, and loves to play FPSs with me, but he totally has some anime wall scrolls and Evangelion/Suzumiya Haruhi anime figurines. Yep.

I want to post pictures of the goon lairs in this home but I'm not sure if the people I am living with are actually goons themselves.


This is my life. Spawn of the ultra-goons. But my uncles aren't abusive like my old home was, so this is where I will be if you need to find me.

This thread inspired me to do a lil' cleaning and now I'm sitting here in a clean, pleasant house. Not that it wasn't already clean to begin with, but you know, it's seems like the proper reaction after seeing some of those poo poo holes.

It's probably a 37mm flare launcher http://www.ftfindustries.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=FI&Category_Code=37MM but grenade launchers aren't "banned" so much as "aren't worth the effort of getting" as they're covered under the NFA, and every explosive round has to have an individual tax stamp (at $200 a pop) so it gets pricy fast, and you might as well just stick with a 37mm vs a 40mm.

I used to think it sucked living with a mom that was borderline OCD about keeping the house clean, but I see threads like this and realize things could have been much, much worse. A fair amount of my childhood friends had homes like this, one of them more than worthy for this thread. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, but it was bad. Real bad. You couldn't see the floor in a lot of the rooms because it was covered in trash, and the parts that weren't covered in trash were carpeted in shed dog hair. Weeks old dishes scattered about, the sink itself filled to the brim with more weeks old dishes. The denizen friend took about as much care with his body as the family did the household; the shower/bath was never used because it was also filled with junk. He never brushed his teeth and instead had his teeth cleaned by a dentist like once a year.

I actually spent a lot of time there as were BBFs at the time. I feel bad for the way he lived thinking back on it now.

/\ My dad has OCD while my mom is horribly disorganized. They got divorced and I had to go back and fourth between the two. 10 years later and I'm extremely organized, yet I'm not scared to let things get messy, knowing full well I can have it totally clean in 15 minutes.

I'll take OCD even though you have to put up with irrational poo poo such as, "Don't turn on the overhead lights! Use the lamp, because if an overhead light bulb burns out, it's gonna be hell to replace."

I know my dad's quirks and can work with it. My mom is unpredictable.

I would also prefer OCD.

What is it with broke-rear end folks and sleeping on bare mattresses? :psyduck:

I bought a bed frame from IKEA. My plan was to drink a 6 pack and assemble it. I had a glass of whisky half way through the 6er and by the time I was done, I was fairly drunk. Somewhere along the line, I couldn't figure out how to get the bed off the ground. I tossed the "extra parts" off the porch and now sleep on a mattress on the ground. The bed frame is purely for vanity.

crime fighting hog posted:

This may sound odd but I actually enjoyed sleeping on just a mattress without a box spring, it was really comfy. I still put a sheet and pillow sheets on it with a blanket though. Sleeping on the ground just somehow made me feel more secure in a way.

I feel the same way. It's really great sleeping on the ground, in the corner. My room is clean and I wash my sheets every week, so my friends are accepting of my floormattress lifestyle.

Man, it's so drat depressing to think that there are adults/adolescents who legitimately feel like they have a relationship with some anime character and do poo poo like this.

I wonder if people just keep doing this as they get older, or if they will eventually grow out of it. Or maybe they grow up to be dollfuckers.

Listen here, funnyman!
The thing I always found funny about the "CPS took my kids" guy is that while his house (OK, trailer) was a complete and utter disaster his fridge/freezer was surprisingly clean and organized. I always pictured that area being ground zero for filth given it's purpose for storing perishables.

Edit: The only positive thing I can say in this thread is at least the people that have vast collections of media (DVDs, books, comics, etc.) seem to have a sense of organization. As in, I'm seeing actual properly built bookshelves with everything spined and organized neatly. It's a hoard for sure but at least there's no clutter and they are not strewn about the floor. Compare this to pissbottles posted earlier in this thread whose thinking is clearly too disorganized to even get a bottle bin started for the ones he's not pissing in (as a first loving step). There was a post earlier about how if you work at or frequent a hobby/comic store you'll see these people with no social skills who spend far too much money on nerdy poo poo. A story I have is this one really goony-looking motherfucker actually throwing his arm out horizontally in front of me (as I was looking at a display case), pointing at some Transformer figure and screaming "I WANT MAGNUS PRIME!" (or whatever it was) at the cashier at the other end of the display case. Dude was at least in his early 20s. So, yeah, just absolutely broken people hoard anime figures instead of doing the dishes from a week ago. I admit I'm into some niche-y poo poo but at least I've had my dick sucked.

I love threads like these; I'm a bit of a stickler for maintaining a clean and organized place and usually worry if company would approve of my place. Knowing there are much worse cases out there alleviates some of that anxiety.

The thing I don't understand about all the dirty dishes is why not just buy plastic cups and paper plates. I really hate doing dishes so I use a lot of paper and plastic stuff. Its not a perfect solution since it requires at least a little bit of income, but its way easier to just throw whatever cup and plates I used that day in the garbage than to wash anything.

And just garbage in general. Hoarding a huge collection of something I can understand, especially if you have money to burn. But I do not get how you can go home and sit down in front of your computer with a foot of disgusting garbage all around you and still get any enjoyment whatsoever out of what youre doing. I have my own issues with dusting and vacuuming, and keeping up with laundry, but actual garbage with food remnants is where I draw the line.

I've never gotten even in the same ballpark as the pictures in this thread, but things have gotten pretty bad at Casa de Z in the past. A lot of it was depression. WoW addiction and a general malaise brought on by a lovely call center job with weird hours was probably the other half. At a certain point, you just hate life and want to retreat into something you don't hate at the expense of the things you should be doing as a self sufficient adult.

I've had old food in the fridge, and a few garbage bags and empty pizza boxes waiting to be taken out to the dumpster. Sinks full of dirty dishes, empty soda cans piled up on the desk and overflowing ash trays. Never to the sheer level of filth in these pictures, but pretty bad. I mean, you could walk in my house and sit down on the couch. The carpet was kind of gross, but it could have been fixed with a good steam cleaning. The bathroom was a little grungy, but you could drop a deuce without your skin crawling. It was kind of cyclical. We'd hate the way things were going, crawl into the hidey hole of WoW or whatever else were using to ignore the badness and things would go bad. We'd snap out of it, clean up and be human and that would stick for a while, then it would go back to poo poo.

We've improved a lot over the years, though things still get cluttered. Having a house with lots of storage helps when you're not a naturally tidy person. The cat's brief foray into pissing all over the carpet did not, though. I should still hire a maid, though.

I also lived in a dump before, not as bad as these photos. And I've always attributed it to parts college, depression and a lovely roommate who I was basically being a maid after.

Even after college, sometimes poo poo would get bad and slip. But all it takes is one day of being fed up and not in constant pain to be able to pull absolutely everything out of my room, clean each thing and reorganize to make it easier to clean the next time.

In my defense though, I don't collect anything anime and the only figure I have is the one that you get with the super expensive edition of Halo Reach.
