My wife just came home from an inspection of someones home for her job.
(she had the look of don't even touch me, and wanting to peel off her skin) You know it's bad when she walks in the door puts all her clothes in the wash and jumps in the shower before even grabbing a cup of coffee or sitting down. Years ago I worked for a moving company and we did a few government paid moves the owner of the company would rent a truck as he did not want that nastiness in his truck. It makes you wonder how some can be so filthy. |

I often wonder that about some of the filthy fucks I work with.
|

When I was in the remodeling trade I had to clean up homes like that.
Imagine ripping out carpets covered in dog turds and human filth and then breathing in all the dust. Probably have a killer immune system now anyway. |

I'm a firefighter. I've been in more nasty ass houses than I care to remember. Fires in hoarder houses are the worst.

I make damn good use of sanitizer and wipes with grocery carts and gas pump handles. People are nasty fucks.

There are nastinesses so foul that you wouldn't want them in your house even to put in the washer.
I sometimes have occasion to inspect for bedbugs and stuff, and the proper response is to disrobe away from your other 'stuff' and plastic bag all of it. I have gotten bedbugs on me just from being in the room, and would have certainly brought them home had I not followed my own rule. I won't even get in my truck if there's a chance I got some of whatever on me. If she has to do this sometimes, get her a set of coveralls to put on. |

people down the road don't have trash cans or a herbie curby, they just throw bags of trash in their yard and take them to the dump every 2- 3 weeks. currently there are about 20 bags of trash in their yard. not even in the back yard, they throw them out basically in the front yard, maybe 50 feet from the road, where they are easily easily seen . once, when it was windy, they had a huge trash tornado going on in their and 4 of their neighbors yards. this in addition to a amabdoned above ground pool in the back yard, multiple non running vehicles, kayaks, a motorcycle, assorted junk, and 8 or so sets of deer antlers nailed to the tree by the front door.
I shudder to think what the inside of the house looks like. |

My wife used to do some work for a "First Steps program," which is intended to help ensure that children in homes that may not have the means for regular care and check ups were at least progressing developmentally in terms of learning to sit up, crawl, walk, etc. Unfortunately there are some cases where the poor living conditions also mean poor parenting and kids stay in diapers until they are 5 or 6 years old, and never really learn how to do some of the fundamental physical things most children learn, such as walking.
Some of the things she saw then still make her shutter and gag, and then tear up seeing the conditions that some people live in and what those kids are dealing with. Her thoughts were that some were just lazy, some on drugs/alcohol and didn't care, some didn't know any better as it was all they've ever known, and some were potentially handicapped, either mentally or physically and just couldn't maintain a household. |

I will never forget driving with my Grandpa and Grandma from WI to Georgia when I was about 10.
We stopped off in TN near Chattanooga (that's in the south) to visit a friend of my grandpa. They had a whole bunch of yappy ankle biters and the house smelled strongly of shit and piss. My sister and I sat down in the living room while the adults were in the kitchen. The dogs were everywhere. On the furniture, on the carpet. Then I noticed something. The couch appeared to be moving. Then I looked closer. Thousands upon thousands of fleas. They were on the couch, on the carpet, everywhere. My sister and I went outside and waited for my grandparents. It was a nasty house we visited that day. In the south. Far from yankee land. |

Funny timing, we just had our inspection not an hour ago. The landlord commented on how clean it was, how the carpet still looked like new and how nice the tree was.
Well yeah. I dont maintain it because you own it, I maintain it because I live here. I dont want to live in a shit hole! |
|
Yep. Exact reason I will not own rentals. The issue = renters (usually section 8 voucher folks) have ZERO sweat equity and take JOY in screwing the owner. |

The first thing that I do when I get off of a plane flight is change my clothes. If I can, I will shower as well.
People are gross. |

In the early days of my career when I still fixed home PCs (and would drive on-site to do it if'n they were willing to pay a little extra), I ran across some real doozies.
I have to imagine that people who do things like cable TV/Internet installs have the best stories. They've no doubt seen everything. Even having them bring their PC into the shop wasn't always a guaranteed way to avoid the filth. I've lost count of the number of times I cracked the case on a PC and had cockroaches scatter in the shop. We had some customers where we had to use a shop power supply, because the fan in the one the computer came with would blow the smell of stale cigarette smoke all over the shop. If you smoke next to your computer for a few years, it pretty much just coats the entire thing in a yellow/brown sticky goo inside. |

When I lived in an apartment the maintenance crew came to change the filters one day. They always brought someone from the office with them to poke around and make sure you weren't fucking their shit up. I forgot they were coming and had dirty dishes in the sink, the trash needed to be taken out, the dirty laundry basket was full and I had a few empty beer cans on the coffee table from the night before. I was embarrassed that they saw all that stuff and I apologized about the mess. They started laughing pretty hard and told me about some of the other residents places and how fucking terrible they were. It made me feel a lot better about myself. I couldn't imagine trashing a place that I was renting and then the landlords coming and seeing the filth. I don't know how the owners don't lose their shit and just toss the dirt bags out.

Wife used to work at an animal hospital. One of the clients was an obese cat lady, whenever she came in palmetto bugs would crawl out of her clothes.

I contracted for Charter cable and worked all over the STL metro area including East Saint Louis. I've seen shit that most people wouldn't even believe. I had Tyvek suits I wore in some houses and defective cable boxes got bagged and stuck in sealed Rubbermaid tubs or you risk bringing coasters home with you. People are fucking disgusting and I won't eat anything people bring in from home for pot lucks or what not. |

There is a guy that works at our parent company's shop. Fucker is over 400lbs, refuses to wear deodorant because hippy, and has a greasy ass 3' ponytail with an equally greasy 2' beard. Dude has pissed himself while working on hydraulic units twice, and shit himself without going clean it out. Refuses to wipe after shitting, drop, flush, zip, done.
He smells like a cross between a homeless man and a roadkill possum most days, and he wonders why no one wants him to train them. |

Wild animals stay cleaner somehow. Ever noticed how sparkly clean the underbelly and groin ara of a deer stays? It's almost like they bathe and shampoo it daily.
