Shows about hoarders are great motivation. My husband watched a couple of episodes with his mouth hanging open - he’d read about such things but he never imagined what it was really like. He’s always been something of a packrat. Shortly afterward, I suggested we put on a garage sale and I couldn’t believe the stuff he wanted to put out, stuff I never thought he’d let go. Those shows really got his attention.
I had heard there were people who hoarded junk but I had no idea they were as sick as the program showed them to be. Also they have no shame. If your bathroom was full of used adult diapers because your water had been turned off and you could not flush your toilet, don’t you think you could figure out a solution to the problem? Yes, that was on one episode of Hoarders. It was stomach turning.
