Pondering a Hoarders Ways
why do hoarders keep their garbage?
Their empty containers? Dirty diapers? Used dog pads?
If you hate cleaning like I do, turn on the TV show, Hoarders.
It is the best cure to my housework apathy.
There are small paths in the houses they feature
Hoarders don’t sleep in beds
Beds are covered with stuff
Hoarders live on piles of debris
Their bathrooms are full of used pieces of toilet paper
and in one episode, the skeleton of a cat who died there
Food containers are never washed or thrown away
Their sinks are full of dead mice floating in cups of water
The workers have to wear masks
The smell is no doubt unbearable
I still have to ask
Why do hoarders keep their garbage?
