We all know a hoarder or could possibly be an undercover one ourselves. A hoarder is a person who literally saves EVERYTHING and usually has completely insane excuses as to why they do. Being hoarder is most certainly a disease that has yet to have cure.Living with a hoarder, is probably one of the worst experiences in life. If you’re an extremely neat and clean person but has a roommate who has piles of magazines with their favorite artist or band on the cover in you two’s living room, you’re more than likely going to lose your mind and possibly even commit murder. Hoarders are always unaware that they are hoarders. So, here are 5 telltale signs of a hoarder to look out for…
This is the most obvious way to tell if someone is a hoarder. Hoarders always have a cluttered apartment because they save shit that should be thrown away in the trash. Which leads me to my next point.
Hoarders love, and I mean love saving the most unnecessary shit. Then they will try and label the unnecessary shit they are saving as “keepsakes” or “memories”. They think that somehow saving their first pair of baby shoes, will let them remember their memories of being a baby.
Hoarders have endless excuses for why they are saving junk or “precious memories”. And their excuses can almost be just as convincing as a man’s who is lying about why he didn’t reply to your text last night. Hoarders’ excuses help them rationalize the fact that they are indeed saving junk.
Cleaning and hoarders, do not go together. It’s actually an oxymoron. I personally, have never met a hoarder who likes to clean and has a clean home because if they did, they wouldn’t be hoarders right?
Hoarders will try to pass on their disease to you with their “heartfelt” reasons and justifications for why you should save the shirt your child threw up on or why keeping your empty lipstick tube will help remind you of your favorite memories while you were wearing that lipstick.
Avoid hoarders at all cost!
