    Similar to this thread, and this.

    Post a story of mold, minge and mank that you have encountered in other people's houses.

    I was staying in my friend's house near Huston Station because I had to go that direction for work in the morning.

    He lives in a converted office from the 70s, and the first thing that I noticed coming in the door was the tray full of used tea bags, and they were well into a mold stage. There was filth all over the place, and since it was designed in the 70s, it looked like **** anyways.

    There was a plate of beans and a half eaten sausage hidden under a pile of college work. And an ashtray had been knocked over, and they just moved the couch over it. (The floor was carpeted).

    So, any other manky houses out there?

    I worked doing easy access bathrooms for the elderly and disabled. Came across one house filthy rat **** everywhere. It wasnt the poor fellas fault he couldnt clean it . It really pissed me off though his family were around every day to look at the new bathroom to make sure we were doing a good job on it but stepping over rat **** . Like they could have ran the hoover over the place.
    They just wanted to make sure the house was in good nick for when the poor auld fecker died so they could sell it .

    I'd bet a lot of people have dried balls of snot down the side of their bed.

    Nothing worse than heading up to someone's jax and being confronted by what looks like a Vindaloo compacted into the U-Bend.

    because it was designed in seventies does not mean that it should be kept like a kip, i lived in a place built in the ninteen twenties, and once there is soap and water, there is no need for dirt

    I volunteered to go pick some urgent letter up at a co-workers apartment. He gave me the key and the address and I let myself in.

    I immediately got stuck on the hall floor. It was like flypaper with filth. I wrenched my feet off and went into the kitchen where I was told I'd find the letter on the kitchen table. There were hundreds of letters on the kitchen table, and burnt pots with congealed and mouldy contents on the stove, and a kitchen sink filled with disgusting plates in what looked like gravy and smelled like dysentery.

    I was actually retching with the smell and the thought of someone living in the middle of it. The final straw was the mousetrap with the decomposed mouse in it by the kitchen bin. There were bluebottles flying all over the place.

    I've never been able to look at that guy the same again, and I'm uncomfortable knowing about his secret life of squalor. When I got back to the office, he said he hoped I didn't mind the mess. He wasn't the least bit embarrassed.

    Funny thing is he looks clean and doesn't smell bad. I would have pictured someone who lives like that as being disheveled and unkempt, but you would really never know to look at him.

    Remember reading it like 6 years ago. Took me a bit of google searching to find it again...

    That reminds me of the time I stayed over in this girl's apartment for the first time. It was a one bed place and she lived alone. When I went to the bathroom I encountered the most disgusting sh*t encrusted toilet imaginable. I don't mean just a few stains, I'm talking more brown than white on the toilet bowl. Could never look at that girl the same way again.

    A girl I knew in college lived in the filthiest house I've ever seen, and it was her family home rather than a student flat!

    The whole house was filled with piles of newspapers, random junk, and a layer of dust. The kitchen was definitely the worst, you'd have to clear a space at the table if you wanted to put a plate down, and they had about seven cats who would happily walk all over everything. There was a George Foreman grill that looked as if nobody had ever cleaned out the fat that collects underneath. I wouldn't eat anything until I had washed the plate, cutlery and glass that I was about to use. Instead of cleaning out the food bowls for the cats, they would just dump in more food on top.

    One time I stayed over at the house after a night out, and wanted to take off my makeup before I went to sleep. After much rummaging my friend found some makeup remover, but she didn't have any cotton wool, she suggested that I try looking around the bathroom (the bathroom did have a bath, incidentally, but they used it as a place to hang up their clothes to dry) After much rummaging I finally found an open packet of cotton pads on a shelf... And there were dead woodlice curled up inside it :eek: I just made do with using toilet paper, at least I knew that it would have to be changed regularly enough. Urrgh!!

    I'd even have been suspicious of the loo roll in that house :(

    There used to be an old man who lived not too far from me. He passed on a few years ago but the tales of what he got up to in his house were legendary.
    I'm not too sure if all the stories are true but a neighbour has sworn that they are as she saw them firsthand.

    He would use the same teabag for a week. Keeping it in the fridge between usage.

    He never bothered to take the ashes out from the fire. Instead he would wait until they cooled and scatter them under the carpet.

    He once ran out of toilet paper so proceeded to tear down some wallpaper and use it.

    There was an incident with his mattress so he would sleep on a big stockpile of clothes scattered around his bedroom.

    Instead of framing pictures, he would just cut out stuff from the newspapers and stick them around the house. In his sitting room was a picture of John Major. When questioned why his response was "he looks a little bit like my father".

    He never cleaned out his toilets. Every few months he'd take a hose from out the back and flood the entire bathroom. That was his idea of clean.

    One day the cattle from a near field went missing. Where did they show up? Your mans house. They were hanging around the place for weeks.

    His dog used to be in the house the whole time. I'm sure someone told me he wasn't housebroken and I bet this guy wouldn't have been bothered cleaning up after him.

    He was a chain smoker and never bothered with an ashtray "as it was too much work to be cleaning and emptying"

    His garage was full of old stuff. Had never been cleaned out. One day someone robbed some stuff as there were rumour that there was some antiques there. Your man didn't care though as he would have been too lazy to go through the stockpile.

    The windows were never cleaned. You couldn't see out of them.

    I'm sure there's more too.

    Ha ha that john major picture made me wet myself a little . Hilarious.

    If we are ever unfortunate enough to be in a particular aunties house who is minging and manky we have learned a trick - when the cuppa is forced on you even though you'd rather drink your own piss, the idea is to drink from where the top of the handle on the mug is.
    The way I see it not many people would be drinking from there - less chance of catching anything. This person is not very particular in her cleaning :(

    Thats very scienifically unsound advice there michael .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Mickey Lover


    Does it not make sense to you ? She wouldn't be giving the cups a good scrub around the rim so I thought the odds of someone else drinking from that part were quite low - less chance of coming home with a cold sore or worse ;)

    If the disease can live on a cup im sure it can spread on the cup therefore covering the whole cup . Unless of course its cooties that your afraid of catching.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Mickey Lover


    Yes what you say may be scientifically sound and I get what you are saying but taking the first sip from there while she is watching you and you are trying not to retch - it makes me feel a little better.
    Never go to the jacks in her house either, the thoughts of it :eek: and this woman lives on her own and is in no way frail - just a durty biatch (in a bad way)
    When she's not looking I try and wipe around the lip of the cup or else I accidentally 'forget' that it's there and oh no it's time to go :)

    The kitchen is rotten when you put a cup on the counter it sticks and the grease is only oozing out of the oven. I'm no Monica about cleaning but Jaysis I'd say it's a bacterial breeding ground. Kim and Aggie would have a field day:pac:

    when i was in college.... there were 7 of us living in the house and we rarely cleaned. Instead of washing the dishes, we simply scraped off the old dried-in food and covered the plates/knives/forks in tin-foil! We were then ready to eat again!!

    Thats possibly the most disgusting, laziest, thing I've ever known anyone to admit to.

    How can that possibly be easier than washing a plate?

    spending 5 seconds with some tinfoil sounds a lot easier than scrubbing caked in dirt tbh.

    not that i would condone such a thing :pac:

    I have to admit to living in a house with three few fellows who smoked cannabis every day. It wasn't that the house was that dirty or anything but the smell had seeped into everything-the curtains, couch, and whatever plate or cup you were using-yep, you could smell and taste it.

    Plus, they had paranoid ideas about the recycling. The table in the kitchen was completely covered in magazines/papers/cardboard boxes-everything recycable. It wasn't exactly dirty, just very very messy.
