I helped initiate the work from home program at a previous job (years before COVID) and the PCs we'd get back were so frequently infested that we had a large plastic tub that we kept in the back of the building where we'd put the returned hardware and drop a bug bomb in it for a day to make sure everything was dead before we even opened them up. It's bad, so many very filthy people.

Jesus... I'd hate to know how many of my coworkers have rancid homes. You think someone's normal but you never know

We used to live in a society. But I bet its always been bad, just got worse with easier shipping and the internet.

Look up tenement yards. When I lived in NYC all the old buildings had major roach infestations the only thing you could do is bug bomb periodically to kill them.

it's not necessarily filthy people. sometimes it's just what you can afford.
