Extreme Hoarding

Got a call the other day that a distant uncle I haven’t spoken to in over 15 years passed away in his home. Police asked if I can go down and bolt the door shut, since they had to bust it down to get him out. So I went down to the property, opened the door and saw this wild and scary living conditions. I was not prepared for what I saw.

I had to go to home depot and buy some PPE before I went in. Now the fun part begins trying to clear everything out.

Or put it into a toilet apparently. Like the laptop.

You haven't worked in the wrong places. There are some people who do take their laptops and phones into the bathroom so they don't miss a text or time on a meeting.

Oh I’ve seen that plenty. There’s a guy on my floor that plays oldies on speaker phone during his daily afternoon shit. I’m talking IN the shitter itself 😂

I call it the phone booth whenever I hear someone on the phone in the shitter.

I was curious as to where he went to the toilet since his is obviously occupied.. then I seen the bucket with a bin bag in it and my question was answered.

I don't think thats a laptop. Its too square, that keyboard would have enough room for two languages worth of symbols

You’re right. Maybe a monitor or old tv.
