1. Hoarding is cunning and irrational conduct.

“Get ready,” says the Reddit user banner. It’s a lengthy piece. I’d known some of my family members for a long time, even before I began school. It was fascinating to watch their hoarding grow over time. It all started with small things, habits, and then it seemed to spiral out of control. Some of the things I saw were downright revolting. There was never any toilet paper on the roll. However, there were used tissues inside the roll from when someone blew their nose when you picked it up to use it. The clothes were still piled high in the bathroom’s washer and dryer. They soon seemed to be buying more instead of doing laundry.

It was difficult for me to keep track of how many animals they had: fish, a couple of birds, cats, and dogs all over the place. They once got into trouble in the city for having a horse in the backyard. Moreover, they have a farm with more cats and dogs, as well as horses and goats. They constructed a house on their farm about 20 years ago. The outside was done, but the inside was never. It’s crammed with things and would necessitate a lot of cleaning. On the porch, the house in town closed at some stage. We stood there watching the extra space fill up. I was probably 13 the last time I stayed there. They gave me band-aids that were soaked in water on the kitchen counter after I crashed my bike. I politely declined. Because of the pre-sealed can, I ate tuna and yogurt straight from the can.
