POPSGathering storm The acquiring of and failure to discard seemingly useless possessions, causing significant clutter, distress, and impairment to basic living activities. That's the definition mental health researchers have basically agreed on for compulsive hoarding and cluttering.

Hoarders can often be identified in suburban areas by the possessions spilling out of their homes, while in cities like San Francisco, they are often concentrated in smaller, concealed dwellings.

Clinical evaluations indicate that it is often associated with a wide variety of psychological disorders, including borderline personality disorder.

POPSJunk Filled House Condemned By Town I posted about this woman a couple days ago when she caused a car accident. Her car was filled to the roof with trash. She had so much trash, that garbage slid under the gas pedal and caused an accident. If you look under my profile for Garbage Causes Car Accident Clip, there is a picture of the car as well.
