I'm sure many of us have watched the TV show about people who have this problem, or mental illness, when it gets to the extremes that program shows. However, I'd never seen it in person, but I just came from a friend's relative's home which is about the worst I've ever seen (and smelled). At first, I was just a bit repulsed, but in retrospect, I feel very bad for the person. Although not quite as bad as the TV show, no one should live this way. It made me go home and straighten a few things and throw out some stuff I realized I surely don't need.
Do you know anyone who comes close to being an "extreme" or over-the-top hoarder?

One of my neighbor's has two houses full of junk plus some sheds. It's scary. He barely even stays in either house now because there is so much stuff in them but he steadily collects more

One of my mom's friends is a hoarder. I won't label her as extreme yet, but she's well on her way. She was a travel agent back in the 80's and has kept every single brochure she used while working. She keeps every single magazine or newspaper she has delivered. She is scared of throwing away some article or recipe or tidbit if information she may need later. It's funny because this stuff is all highly organized and kept in perfect condition in the garage, but she refuses to dust and clean her house.
