Sigh.

This dude is not well and needs help, care and support. Not ridicule.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

Yeah definitely hoarding behavior.

[-] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

When stuff like this happens to people there is usually a lot of shame involved when it goes past a certain point which prevents getting help. These types of situations come to light through care notices to social work and often mental health problems are involved. Like someone commented, this person needs help, not ridicule.

With stories like this I wonder why it's even news and why we're hearing about it all across the world

[-] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Yeah it's sus. Because this sort of thing is pretty common in our glorious western capitalist hell. Obviously only to those who see these situations, but every apartement building probably hides some of these. Most people are probably completely unaware of how badly some are doing behind closed doors right next to them.

I don't think it's even a ChinaBad thing necessarily and more of a "shitty tabloids being shitty" thing. They love these sorts of "let's all point and laugh at the freak" stories.

The original source in the Kotaku article is mentioned to be The Sun

[-] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

The Sun, ok... cringe

This is mental illness and I don't want to make fun of it.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

The main thing I don't understand is why you would do this at a hotel. Like, you literally have cleaning staff there who will pick up your trash for you if you're such a slob. You have to intentionally keep them out in order to end up like this

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

Staff won't clean a room with the guest inside and he almost never left the room. Probably put up a do not enter sign on the very rare times he did leave and the room was probably a disaster by the time he left the room the first time, meaning he didn't want staff seeing it.

Yeah dummy the cleaning comes with the bill just step outside for half an hour, have a smoke break, get a coffee, get lunch.

[-] YOuLibsWoulD@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

Yeah mental illness doesn't really make a lot of sense at times.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Makes me feel like a clean little angel from heaven.

|At a hotel .... that reportedly specializes in catering to gamers and esports competitors....

I'd imagine that this wouldn't be shocking in an establishment that caters to this demographic.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

...why would you not just flush the toilet paper...

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

You don't flush toilet paper in most places in China because the plumbing clogs; it's actually very normal not to do this. Usually you take it out with the trash though.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Huh. Genuine culture shock moment. Is it easier on waste treatment, not dealing with the dissolved paper? Or just a cost trade-off for plumbing installation?

Edit: guess it also makes sense anywhere bidets are more prevalent.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 4 months ago

I've used public bathrooms in the US that ask customers to throw used toilet paper in the garbage can for the same reason.

[-] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Maybe they thought it would flood??? But the alternative is literally living next to shit??? For 2 years???

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

The pipes are so small paper would clog it

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

"Boy is living the Asmongold dream." lmao
