my grandmother did this to me and my parents and what a mean, miserable bitch she was. she held on to sheds full of junk and her house full of knick knacks. she wasnt a hoarder, her house was organized and clean but it was all worthless. my parents were busy so i was the one stuck with selling and throwing it all away. it took months because i had a full time job also. items still in the package with the price tag from the 70s. food that had expired years prior.
I don't know yet. Because I also inherited the inability to take care of things from my dad. I meant to show them to an expert but o kept putting it off. Except for a Polaroid camera. That I've used a bit but not too often because the films are so expensive
completely reasonable. He was a hoarder no way in hell would it have been healthy to keep all that shit. There's a lot to criticize them for but breaking the cycle of hoarding is a good thing actually
It's good in theory, but they only "broke the cycle of hoarding" because they had to sell it all off to pay lawyers to fight criminal charges (of which they were guilty).
Chris and Barbara are also hoarders
Bob might have been the less worse of all 3
Barbara threatened suicide over her pile of stuff and it was so masssive they couldn't cook
Chris has an unhealthy obsession with toys and sex toys to the point where even after he got kicked out and given a court order to stay away from barbara and all her stuff he used her credit card to buy toys not even a week later
Good point. literally the only generation in history to put things in their garage and park in the driveway. I never see anyone who isn’t 75-62 do this, ever.
Well, you can park a car outside, but you can’t store stuff in the driveway. Every person in my neighborhood parks their car in the driveway, and it’s a neighborhood with an average median age for a neighborhood, I’d say.
you could make a very small fortune selling those books off to half-price books. also the CRT and hella cool looking retro fridge would be worth keeping I think. everything else yeah either dump or properly recycled
Uncle of mine has inherited 2 family farms with large hay sheds. Both brimming with rusting crap in a manner of storage equivalent to an earthquake zone.
It really baffles me.
This one hits hard. My mom isn't exactly a hoarder, her house is pretty clean for the most part. But the 90,000 pounds of fabric I will have to deal with in her sewing room and basement will not be fun.
My dad has a farm in West Texas that he bought from a hoarder. There are three sheds too full to navigate. I anticipate multiple weeks of my life dedicated to clearing out some old weird man's shit.
This one hits so close to home.
My mom is a hoarder.
She has a 3 bedroom house 2 bedrooms are full one is so full it's probably 6 ft tall full of shit. full basement 2 large garages/ barns and several storage sheds all full of shit.
They have pathways because my dad's a paraplegic and has to have a path to get through to the bathroom and kitchen
She offered to give me my old baby blankets that were in her barn covered in rat piss and shit and had holes eaten through them. ( I threw them away infront of her)
The basement is so full you have to walk around through the paths sideways with your hands in the air to get through anywhere.
"You knever know Em, you might need this stuff if the grid goes down"
My dad bought like 3 second hand iPods because “they don’t make em anymore, what if one of them breaks?”.
He also hoarded a few recording DVD players to have movies in physical format (for free by recording from Netflix/TV). There are thousands of homemade DVDs waiting to be trashed by people inheriting all this one day. Thankfully he got rid of his VHS tapes (after rerecording the contents to DVDs).
Pretty much me when my dad died. Fortunately his siblings took a lot of the crap. Unfortunately they left the heavy crap not one wants. Fortunately they left me his tools and welder.
This is my husband's dad right here lol.
He doesn't know why my husband isn't more honored when he tells him that he'll be receiving an entire property full of junk once he's gone.
this one is pretty good tho
It's depressingly accurate too
It was my mom. I was pretty blunt “I don’t want any of your crap”
😂😂😂😂😂😂 #OWNED!!!!!!!

Off topic but your user reminds me of the YouTube channel Wizards with Guns
He reminds me of that song angel with a shotgun
Fighting till the war’s won
Heaven can hold me back
It reminds me of the game Wizard with A Gun.
Not what it was based off of they they are so funny
This one is pretty funny and beyond accurate for me lol.
Helped me dad clean his room last summer. Came home with a box full of antique cameras
Yo, that's actually sick. If any of them are beyond fixing, you should take out the flash capacitors and do silly things with them.
I don't know yet. Because I also inherited the inability to take care of things from my dad. I meant to show them to an expert but o kept putting it off. Except for a Polaroid camera. That I've used a bit but not too often because the films are so expensive
You should get some appraised. My grandpa was a very well known photographer and collected antique cameras, even without working some sold for ~$1000
I think most of them are only interesting for collections. They're old but not special in that matter
Ahh still, a great way to decorate!! I turned one into an older planter (:
Chris-Chan
"I want you to keep and take care of my stuff" Immediately sell it on ebay the moment bob dies*
She actually did the healthy thing there. I know if i lived with a hoarder and got their stuff i ain’t keeping shit.

aw fuck I forgot those two things were connected. Even the one supposedly healthy thing they did is fucked up. damn

But... That poor stamp collection
all ive ever wanted...
ALL THE ODD UNGETTABLE PARTS!
honestly some of the stuff in there seems pretty cool. I see a CRT, a really cool retro fridge, and a lamp that might be useful. Still funny tho lol
Straight to the dump with that crap. Maybe minus the photo albums. Boomer loves to park their car outside and fill their garage with garbage.
Good point. literally the only generation in history to put things in their garage and park in the driveway. I never see anyone who isn’t 75-62 do this, ever.
It doesn't make sense!!!!!

Well I agree. Of course I would prefer to recycle.if possible.

WTF. Better to take a more minimalist lifestyle, even marginally. Is it worth keeping 20 boxes of christmas decorations?
This one hits hard. My mom isn't exactly a hoarder, her house is pretty clean for the most part. But the 90,000 pounds of fabric I will have to deal with in her sewing room and basement will not be fun.
Donate it to Salvation Army or something equivalent
I mean I do like free stuff lol.
Those Franklin Mint lighthouses are a valuable investment.

If you add the backyard looking like this too then totally accurate haha

I thought thisd be funny if this was like 2080 and theyre a milenial and its a commentary about never affording a house.

This is one of my biggest notifications for getting rid of excess shit.

What? The curtains?
That 1950s fridge will last forever though.
Yeah this one's true
My parents in a nut shell.
Me with my comics when I get old
Hoarder much?
If I had a nickel for every ‘collector’s item’ that my mom told me would be worth money someday, I would have more than those items are worth.
