Anyone seen No Country For Old Men? The retired Deputy played by Barry Corbin is a carbon copy of some old men my Grandfather knew.

I went to a house once that was far worse than that.  Orders of magnitude.  Heard the dead body call come over the radio, another cop car got dispatched, and then 10 mins later or so more cars (incl me) got sent there.  

The house was, i toejam you not, stacked 4-6 feet high in ALL places with trash similar to that.  The only place that wasn't trashed was the area around the back door, so the door could swing into the house.  In some rooms there were paths through the junk, others were just FILLED with junk.  The resident, a woman in her 60's, was dead in a bedroom.  We could push the door in about 6 inches to see the body but couldn't get the door open because so much junk was against the other side of the door.  Eventually by breaking the top of the door a skinny guy got in and opened a window so everybody else could get in.  Body was frozen/rigored (heat turned off), so had to take her out the window since it wasn't worth it to try to move junk 4-5 feet deep to get the door open.  

Being the new guy, I got to search the house for any other dead people.  In the living room the stuff was piled so high (no pathways) that I had to crawl across it because it was stacked to within 3 feet of the ceiling.  Oh, the lady was diabetic too, so there were discarded needles in the junk.  Not to mention avoiding the poop, since she had apparently stopped using the bathroom and just went wherever she happened to be.  Thankfully it was winter, and her heat had been turned off or was broken or something, so everything was nicely refrigerated and didn't stink too bad.  In the summer that place would have stunk up the whole neighborhood.  

I never thought people could completely turn to animals until I saw that house.  She had completely lost it.

WOW, just wow!  Can anyone tell what that substance by the sink is?  Why is it whenever you see a house or apt in this condition they almost ALWAYS have a cat?

Wet towels. Or rather the remains of towels thrown on the floor after (if you can believe it) the occupant had showered.
I have seen someone who lived like this as well. If you actually met them on the street they come across as quite normal likeable folk, as soon as you see how they and their kids live you wonder how they even survive.
I really felt sorry for the kids. They should not have to live like feral creatures.

I wonder what she kept typing over and over again on that keyboard, notice only how the 2 row sections are clean, and the section of the space bar?

Had a tennant in the basement last winter that went a wee bit into that direction.
We got her out, she didn't pay, and the cleanup took days.....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
