What a kip

Charlie

Came across this on another forum.

How the funk does someone live like that? I may have lived in some squaller when I was away with my mates on various J1's over the years, but that takes the biscuit. I cannot even comprehend how you could sleep at night knowing that various lifeforms are probably feasting around you.

Does anyone have similar stories about encountering such filth in Ireland.

I have seen the state of the 78A bus. I can only imagine what squalor that transports it's beloved patrons to.

I saw a British documentary that had a flat left like this, the renter just upped and left suddenly. There were the large bottles of 7up and coke everywhere that contained the guys pee because the toilet wasn't working anymore. Everything was piled up high and there were even pathways made through the rubbish and trash for the guy to get from room to room. The weird thing about it was the fact that the only clean thing there was an ironed, clean, smart looking suit hanging on a hanger behind a door. The guy would have had a relatively good job and must have seemed smart enough on the outside.

the bathroom is particularly vile.

the cigarette covered computer looks like one of those ironic art intallations though.

In a way I wonder did she feel a sense of achievement in how she managed to turn the place into such a squalor!

Actually wtf are the brown things on the ground in the picture with the glove in it?

They're allowed say 'f*ck" on their forum - without it looking like ****.


Yeah, it's pretty rank alright. What is with the cigarette buts? Surely she'd have set the house on fire by now?

Imagine the poor guy who was asked to come back to her place for "coffee". :pac:

This was a female tenant, look at the pile of jam rags on the bathroom cabinet

There is something extremely fake about this. The cigeretes are just piled there on top of one another showing no sign of decay. The pizza boxes and soft drink cups look like they came from a supplier. All that crap would attract goodness knows how much vermin, animals, flies, disease etc. hmmmm I wonder. Just one month?

Some peeps are just weird. On a much smaller scale, once I parked up by a Mercedes in a carpark The ashtray was crammed full and the butts and ash were all over the centre consol and around the gearshift. Two mins with a vac and it would be gone.

It said she had an outstanding balance for over a month not that she was there for a month.

I think its possibly cat shit but I maybe mistaken. It has a look of something staged about it tbh.

Ah there it is! Thanks, I've been looking for that glove all week.

In fairness, if you look at the pics, it would be a hell of an effort transporting all that stuff in one go, and then removing it, for the sake of a few pics to post on the net.

I have a program (BBC I think it was on) about 4 years ago, where the local councils would go to house in similar states, so there are those out there that are just filthy mongs.

A cat wouldn't shit in the middle of a room. It would find a nice pile of somethingorother to **** in and cover it up with. Maybe something like cigarette butts.

I know. If the rent is paid monthly then wouldn't the bookkeeper have been there the month before or even the month before that. That much couldn't build up in the space of a month or two at the most. Not being absurd here but if I had a property that I was renting out and if someone missed a payment I would go and visit (with my own key), maybe leave a note. It couldn't have deteriated that much without anybody noticing. Must be shi**y landlords, or the whole thing staged.

Well if she ate that much in a month, she must be about 80 stone. :rolleyes:

Very round looking to be cigarette butts ? Looks like crap from something anyway, I just guessed cats because i says at the end the owner had/has two cats.

Charlie

Alot of landlords can be lax with the rent situation, a few in my time I had to repeatedly chase up in order to make payment!

Also, consider the state of the U.S housing market, I am sure there is alot more grace going around at this moment, as landlords know that if they evict the present tenant, they may not fill the house again for another year (which apart from the obvious financial implications, can be a pain in the arse from an insurance perspective).

Like I said, there looks to be far to much work involved, with no apparent payoff, for this to be staged. Imagine the effort it would take clearing that sh/t. Someone owns that property. I doubt they would let it be thrashed so badly, just for kicks.

Fajitas!

As disgusting as it is, I call shenanigans.

It's either a prank or a fake.

Look how clean some things are - the mouse on the computer for example - That should be covered in dust, but it's pretty clean, apart from where the sh*te was dumped on top of it.

The bedsheets are remarkably clean, as are the pillows... and the walls...

I've seen places worse than it though, tbh.

I find it hard to believe its a prank or staged to be honest. The logistics alone of getting all that stuff in and out would be incredible.

The bed if you look closely is covered in crap, only a small part is clean. I would say 100% that the stuff on the living room floor is cat poop, I've had cats for a while and it looks the right size and shape. Especially for a cat without enough liquids.

I was trying to make that point earlier Fajitas. Everything else looks remakably clean. The walls, the bed sheets. The TV is covered in dust but the PC isn't. Must have been using Internet TV, and ordering take aways online. What about the delivery guy? Wouldn't they get a bit curious if somebody orders pizza every day. They would have seen the buildup at the front door. At least they had a loyal customer.

Must have been really disappointed when the orders stopped. Great customer gone.

Hah. Was brought around some of the apartments in the towers in Ballymun after they'd been cleared out. Some of the sights we saw were a lot worse than that. I was taking pics at the time, but ended up putting the camera away.

Use [nofilter] [/nofilter]. It'll get rid of the *'s, but only if there's a cuss word between them. I think it's [nofilter] anyways.

The walls should be very badly stained with all that. Some of it dosn't make sense either - I mean, all the styrofoam drink holders are still white - They would be fairly dirty after a while. I reckon there'd be a lot more maggots around, and flies... and 'roaches.

DenMan

Wouldn't the high sugar content attract bees, wasps and hornets. In fact Houston gets a lot of hornets. It would be like an open buffet for them. Obviously some animals got inside. Why would they want to leave?

I've seen similar kips on 'How Clean Is Your House', so it's possible that it's real. I also saw a tv programme ages ago about an old lady in England who become a recluse and when she died, her body wasn't found for a week, or something like that. When whoever found her body entered her house, they found dead animals everywhere, including the remains of a horse! :eek:

So yes, it's quite sad, but there are a lot of people out there who live in squalor.

she'd have been using the mouse the whole time and wiping the dust off

I think this has been staged... Tell me Watson, why would someone who lives like this have an iron and ironing board in their apartment!?!?!

because living like that in the privacy of their own home doesn't mean they go out in public like that........

Lol at the toothbrush box and the bottle of Pantene. Personal hygiene comes first!

But if you lived in a hovel like that, you wouldn't get out of the gaff without getting covered in sh*te, so why would you worry about creases on your jeans!?!

Then why were all the ashes just dumped on the keyboard?

maybe they use the mouse more than the keyboard. or maybe they bought a new mouse because the old one was destroyed by dust. there are lots of ways it could have happened. i did think it was odd that there was so much on the keyboard though.

because there's a distinction between being a fithy bastard and letting eveyone in the world know you're a filthy bastard. as gordon said, on that "how clean is your house" show, there was a gaff that was filthy except for one clean, ironed suit

I would imagine that those conditions are indicative of some underlying mental health issue.
