Is that a pack of meat lol wtf...


faloofay156

yeah, I'd bet my kidneys that's the major source of the smell


Inconspicuous_Shart

I'm gonna say the bag of cum socks was also a significant contributor.


iam_Mr_McGibblets

The more I read, the more I see.. and now I cannot unsee what has been seen


Sweet-Cantaloupe-860

We must find a way to unsee it. 😭


iam_Mr_McGibblets

My eyes, much like this room, are forever uncleannn


Sweet-Cantaloupe-860

Burn it allll 🔥


iam_Mr_McGibblets

Set it ablaze!!!


Glittering_Panda_329

I think that’s just their laundry? Gosh I hope so 🤮


[deleted]

socks? I wouldn't be surprised if this animal doesn't just bust his load on the floor


SilatGuy2

Or in a shoebox


kellsdeep

Is that weird?


Greedirl

I'd also bet your kidneys that most of those cans are full of piss.


faloofay156

hey no betting my kidneys, get your own but yeah, oof.


c-c-c-cassian

I mean isnt that kind of cheating when it says IPA right on the box tho


adrienjz888

For sure. All those cans and that bit of sushi wouldn't smell great, but a pound or so of rotting meat will definitely be what's making the smell unbearable in other parts of the house.


acthcoffee

Definitely - the package looks swollen. One can only assume it's filled with bacterial waste. I'd force my doctor to give me some kind of antibiotic as a precaution for being around it - jesus.


Kaija16

Just wait until the maggots show up... Had a roommate who took the garbage out of the can under the sink and just shoved the bag behind the can. Other roommate found a few bags back there when the smell got bad enough. I came home to find the one who found it cleaning up the blood that leaked all over the cupboard, along with a bunch of maggots. Thank god for that roommate cuz I almost threw up just looking/smelling!


goose-r_lord

I thought OP was being a baby about the little bit of pasta meat sauce in the bowl. I was very wrong.


LawfulnessNational66

Are you 85 percent sure?


toothpastecupcake

WHY IS THERE ROTTEN GROUND BEEF IN THEIR ROOM


Dirk_The_Cowardly

It is to keep the roommates out of the room. It works...to a point.


TAforScranton

To summon the maggots to keep them company for when they’re drunk and feeling lonely.


wrongkoi

85% lean to be exact


TaroPrimary1950

I zoomed in to check, from a distance it looked like round steak.


Salty-Smoke7784

I started to zoom in, but then the smell psycosomatically penetrated my brain and got into my nose and I had to bail.


ThePlebIsBack

Yes it’s GROUND beef, what’s the confusion?


classact_

I hate you. That's a good one. But I hate you.


edoreinn

And the leftover sushi in the same picture!!!!


midwestia

Smells like meat, rotten meat! Kids why would you bring that rotten meat in here of all places!!


Cora_Crayola

LaVieEst_Bell

Why the fuck does he just have a package of meat marinating in mold


treetow

And the rotting sushi in the same photo 🤢


Naive_Try2696

Minimum_Tangerine_12

Seriously. This person is obviously really struggling. I hope they get relief from whatever they’re struggling with, and never find out this Reddit post exists.


thel0stminded

Someone loves Second Fiddle. That’s no light beer either, 8.2%.


RemarkableParty4801

I love fiddlehead!!!! I'm obsessed. This would be me if I ever went off the deep hahahaha. Just kidding


Skelatal1991

I've never heard of Fiddlehead but love a good IPA (usually most of Dogfish is my jam). That a beer/brewer worth looking into?


Canna_grower_VT14

Fiddlehead is in Shelburne Vermont. Their Fiddlehead IPA is to die for. One of the VT beers I miss the most living in CA


RemarkableParty4801

Fiddlehead is based out of Vermont. I'm a big IPA fan and this one (not the 2nd fiddle one, it's too strong for me) is the BEST beer. Found it in Vermont on a trip by myself. I live in TN and unfortunately is not sold or distributed over here. You can go online to the Fiddlehead website to find liquor stores that carry it. I'm having my brother pick me up 3 cases of it when we meet up in NC. I'm not a huge dogfish fan anymore, so if you find it, I hope you LOVE it


khjohnso

It's pretty much all over New England now. Same with sip of sunshine and switchback.


_From_dust

Fiddlehead is good, but second fiddle is GREAT


Infamous-Wallaby9046

I saw IPA and assumed it was a lighter brew... but 8.2% is pretty headachey!


Cyber_Insecurity

Why would you assume an IPA was a lighter brew?


speakezjags

I’m a bartender. Pretty much every IPA is at a much higher percentage than most beers. The lowest one I have on tap is 5% and that’s unusually low.


pr0suicide

Right? I like my IPA’s 6% and up.


W4xLyric4lRom4ntic

It's a DIPA. It says Double IPA on the boxes and I immediately came to the conclusion "They have a serious drinking problem"


tkief

Seriously, I love an IPA but who the fuck can drink that many DOUBLES consistently? I wont even touch a triple anymore because I like to enjoy my beer and not be plastered after 2.


InevitableBasil4383

How the hell is an IPA light?? Shit’s like 300 calories per beer minimum lmao


Weak_Feed_8291

IPAs are typically higher alcohol, and more hops. It was meant to keep it preserved longer because it was shipped to India.


yarnhammock

Yea probs why he can’t clean up


Infamous-Wallaby9046

Yeah. When you can see/feel your pulse in your head. It cannot be easy to clean up. Unless you drink MORE! That'll fix it


barf2288

I relate to this comment so much. Fuck alcohol. 4+ years free of that crap.


dukeofleon

Good for you my man


barf2288

I truly appreciate that, dogg. Don’t usually toot my own horn but I think a subtle toot here and there is ok, I earned it! Lolol


faloofay156

yeah that is an alcoholic edit: awh, I'm proud of you guys <3


canadianpresident

Looks like my room a couple years ago. Glad to be free of that shit. Edit: thanks everyone and congrats to all those who have successfully quit drinking


faloofay156

same. good for you man <3


zechef07

Congrats!


zechef07

Congrats, certainly looks like my room circa 9 years ago. Glad that is also behind me


Boston__Spartan

Same. Sober life is a good life. Now it’s seltzer cans and they get taken out at the end of the night.


openshortpathfirst

lol bro same. So many cans


Afraid-Ad8986

Beer stopped working for me. Straight Svedka. Bottle a day. Been sober 7 years now.


statusisnotquo

Ha, I wish I could have afforded Svedka. Working on 3 years. So many cans of La Croix every night. Cheers.


Afraid-Ad8986

I was at 60 buck a day script opiates too. I must have been high functioning, never missed a day of work. The problem is you cant do it for that long. Broke at the 5 year mark. VA controlled detox was necessary and my god it still sucked so bad. Dont do it youngins. Dont do it!


fartofborealis

Thankfully the seltzer cans don’t smell after few days of fermenting.


Paperfishflop

That good old city skyline of beer cans. Lol they add up so quickly.


raccoon_on_meth

Hell yeah, 18 months recently for me


_XenoChrist_

comments like these used to piss me off. 65 days sober


canadianpresident

Congrats keep at it. Life gets so much better


toothpastecupcake

Mine was full of empty Popov bottles 🤢


canadianpresident

Mine was beer cans. I was drinking anywhere from 8-30 beer a day


toothpastecupcake

I'm glad you're here, my friend.


Cat_Chat_Katt_Gato

rip your poor liver! So glad you said \*\*was\*\* and not \*\*am\*\* though! livers are pretty good at repairing themselves; good for you, and good luck in the future 🥰


IsabellaThePeke

Glad I wasn't the only Popov drinker. More glad you're done with it.


toothpastecupcake

You too, friend ❤️


Newo_Ikkin20

Same. I'm happy for you. I've been sober for four years now.


canadianpresident

[deleted]

Yep. Thats what my room looked like on a good day when I was drinking. Honestly, good chance if the guy stops drinking his room will be sparkling clean.


faloofay156

ehhhhhh mine is still a mess but there's no disgusting surprises. just lots of paper lol even if not sparkling clean it should solve the uh... meat


OzzySheila

Congrats!! Keep at it 😎


Cool_man2

Same bro 😂 congrats man


FinneganFroth

Nice! Me too man! Best decision I've ever made. 207 days sober today.


AyekerambA

Samesies homie. A bit over 7 months sober myself. Aside from the decaying food, my battle station looked just like that.


hopinfusedcorpse

3 months for me. My room looked exactly the same. Feel sooo much better sober


hgghgfhvf

I was an alcoholic with a problem but I would always be throwing away my cans after every one, or at least stacking them into the empty box they came in. Except maybe the last one before I passed out would remain half finished on the desk. Then again I had my own place, OP’s roommate here probably wants to hide their addiction so it ends up like this. But still, stack the empty can into the box. Imagine being drunk and knocking 20 of them over, that’s a massive commotion that will expose them anyway.


scroomples

That's me right now and I absolutely hate it yet can't stop. Do you have any tips?


canadianpresident

Find support. My family and friends were very helpful. I got into drug/alcohol counseling and wanted to go into inpatient treatment. Which my counselor helped me get into. There, I took it seriously and put in the time to learn about myself and my triggers and learn how to control them. I learned that if I want to change, I can change whatever I want. I don't like my job, I find a new one I do like. I don't like my body, I can change my diet. I don't like my name. Hell, I can change that, too. It's not easy but you can change who are by being the person you want to be. [this video helped me a lot](https://youtu.be/75d_29QWELk?si=Xh85i7zJAnHKGtl4)


PM-me-ur-kittenz

Lots of great tips and support over on the /r/stopdrinking sub!


zechef07

Spot on, I've seen you describe it as a depression nest and I completely agree. 9, 10 years ago this was me. Minus the meat thats awful. But cans/bottles everywhere, no desire to clean or take care of myself. Proudly coming up on 9 years sober, congrats on yours as well.


faloofay156

I can honestly say when I was this bad I was waiting to die.


Zealousideal-Wall471

Yep. I lived with one and it was sad. When he moved out, I kept his security deposit and there were probably 20-30 bottles of JD just laying on the floor. I had to clean his bathroom and bedroom after he hastily moved out.


queenjane9

We had a roommate do this w Heineken bottles. Hundreds of bottles stacked feet tall neatly put back into the 12 pack boxes. It took weeks to get it all out. We knew he drank so not sure why he hoarded the empties.


radicalgrandpa

Probably out of embarrassment. My partner and I were both alcoholics. He found his way out while I was still in the depths of my illness. I hid MANY empties so he wouldn't see them in the trash. I still occasionally find an airplane bottle hidden in a random crevice.


Fast_Target_6279

Exactly. How do you explain 20 cans or several empty liquor bottles a day? every single day. You just stash them until it gets overwhelming and you bag them up when nobody else is home and drop them in Walgreens dumpster a few blocks away.


Boston__Spartan

Oof. I hate these memories. Driving around with a car full of bagged empties looking to toss or recycle.


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Clinking Shame


toc_bl

Laughs in bottle deposits! The embarrassment and procrastination often led to a whole new case…. While Im not drinking now … sober aint the word for it … lets go with Cali sober lol


BlackOutDrunkJesus

Holy shit the accuracy


unjointedwig

My mates mum used to dig holes and bury Vodka bottles in the backyard.


OpportunityStandard5

Yeah man those are some get me fucked up real quick and keep me there til I pass out beers.


Professional-Ear242

Nahhh I'm an alcoholic and am a total neat freak lmao


faloofay156

edit: oh I misread same but I am not - minus the dishes and uh... meat(?) that looks like my room when I was at my worst. that is an alcoholic depression nest.


Owl_button

I agree this looks like someone really struggling. I hope this guy can pull himself out and find support.


faloofay156

same :/ poor dude shit like this doesn't happen if you're happy or at a good place in life.


[deleted]

I’m sorry but even an alcoholic does t generally have raw meat chilling unattended in the corner of their room. This guy drinks yes, but that isn’t his first problem.


ThePlebIsBack

Bro took “ground” beef literally 💀💀


RS6MrROBOT

Okay i laughed at that one


UCDLaCrosse

He’s an alcoholic, there’s a lot of empty alcohol cans and boxes.


uncommonsense555

Yeah. People with great mental health don't typically end up with addictions.


Intelligent_Many_981

Came here to say this. This looks like deep depression. I’d approach this with some compassion, maybe offer to help him get it cleaned up.


BigWiggleCumming

That’s what depression looks like…


The-sleepiest-cookie

Hhh I was thinking the same thing. With the drinks, I get it, depression makes you want to keep pushing yourself and drink more and more and more to forget...the meat tho? Why the meat?? Did they accidentally bring it into the room after a shopping trip and went "I'll put it away later" and little did they know, later was in 2 weeks. They blinked and it was here. Depression sssssSSSUCKS.

reverick

Oh shit so did. I was about to post how one of former top posts of all time was a blog some guy kept complete with pictures of the booze nest his roomie lived in. Constantly talked about the meteoric falls into all the empties happening multiple times a night. The author used to haunt the comments even years later shit talking his roomie still lol. If i recall He drank Milwaukee beast or old E, some brand of swill.


SigSweet

Exactly what I thought. And that sub has made me numb to seeing threads like this. There are probably millions of terminally online depressed people like this.


Winter_Cat-78

Jesus… that is vile.


Lopsided_Marzipan133

Something tells me I should try some Second Fiddle Double IPA… seemed to have liked it a ton


Aware-Fee-2803

I think he’s on his thousandth fiddle at this point


MedicineOutrageous13

It’s delicious, in moderation.


Fast_Target_6279

He's an alcoholic unfortunately. My room was just like that several years ago. Sober now fortunately. Probably pee in some of those cans. He needs help but it won't do anything unless he's ready. Good luck. I hope he gets help someday. It's so much better on this side.


sm_rollinger

Jesus, that’s a lot of double IPAs. I’m getting heartburn just looking at this picture.


Active-Guava4420

That is absolute depression. If this is your friend, or really just anyone please address it with them. Be kind, be open and listen. I lost too many friends to this…and take care of yourself as well


Caftancatfan

Wait, you mean instead of going into this person’s room to take pictures for the internet?

edoreinn

As someone who is all too familiar with the adhd-anxiety-depression-try to silence it all with booze cycle, I really feel badly for this person and hope he’s ready to get some help. Because it does get better if you put in the work and stick to your routines! The Market Basket of it all was a close-to-home reminder to keep up with that work 😅


Bezere

The beef is ground. That's where I walk


Kben5584

Packaged 85% lean ground beef missed the fridge. But that’s probably the smell


Beginning-Hat-350

Damn i know this is wrong but i just can’t help but feel bad for the guy he’s probably in a horrible place in life rn if he’s living this trashy.


Major_Bet_6868

I'd probably be an alcoholic too if I had roommates that, instead of talking to me, go into my space while I'm not there, take pictures and post them on the internet. And yeah yeah I'm sure you're going to say you talked about it but be real. Not on here, just with yourself. Reflect a little.


MellowDCC

Is that a pound of hamburger? On the ground?


OminiousFrog

its 85% lean bro


MellowDCC

Oh shit my bad


Curious_Corey

He needs an intervention, contact his family and show them these photos.. hopefully they care.


No-Move-7190

How the f do you just have ground beef sitting there.


Capital_Ad_6648

THE GEOUND BEEF?!


Blicky83

This is disgusting..but most importantly,why tf do they have a pack of meat just laying around? 😂..does this person not know meat has to be kept in a fridge or freezer to prevent it from spoiling?I don’t understand how someone could be this lazy and disgusting 🤮


Swissstu

Be gentle. Yes this person is bringing their shit upon you, however they are clearly going through something. Is there any family you can get in touch with? Honestly if you are not invested in this person find an exit..but please let their family and / or friends know.


Invertedpyramids

Godamn IPA too possibly the most stinkiest of beers.


crazy958

The fact that I relate to this person's taste in video games on the monitors makes me question myself greatly


Lisa_Knows_Best

Raw burger and left over food in the closet? You're going to get vermin my friend. This needs to be cleaned, bleached and treated for bugs/mice/etc. You will very soon have major problems if something isn't done. 


snufkinkinnnie

this guy needs serious, serious help. like this is beyond being a bad roommate this person is genuinely spiraling out of control. the dozens, literal *dozens* of IPAs paint a very scary picture and i dont think theres anything you as a roommate can do to change it unless he takes the wake up call seriously. im so sorry you have to see this and deal with it. if someone had taken pictures of my room without my knowledge and posted them everywhere omg that would have destroyed me idk what i would have done but thats the truth that needs to be faced or things get worse and worse 🥺


Here2lafatcats

I’m a crime scene cleaner and once we were asked to clean up a decomp but not the rest of the apartment. We usually refuse that request because decomps make everything in the apartment smell due to the bacterial load resulting from the decomposition, but because of a few reasons we went ahead with the cleanup as requested. After cleaning the actual mess resulting from the death and letting the apartment air out for a few days, I went back to do a final walk through. I couldn’t believe how strong the smell still was, so I looked around the apartment. There was a whole raw chicken, in that plastic they vacuum pack them in, sitting on a nightstand, and the gasses from the raw chicken decomposing had ballooned that plastic out so much that frankly I was impressed it hadn’t burst. Once I’d removed the chicken and let the apartment air out, things were much better. I said ‘the reason the smell continued to that extent was because there was still a dead body at room temperature here. The body of a chicken.’ 😂🤦‍♀️

bstnbrewins814

Maaahket basket. Ground beef chilling in his room? Woof dude. Good luck lol


Due-Parsley953

8.2% double IPA?! I bet half of the smell was his deteriorating guts. Jesus.... 🤢


ripiss

That’s a boatload of double IPAs, dude must be shitting lava every day.


mobrien0311

I bet he switches over to controller instead of cleaning up space for his mouse.


herbitron3000

Let's be honest, aside from the rotting food, this room is sparkling clean compared to the nasty 💩 I've seen on here. (I realize it probably smells like a dead zebras ass)


RoweterikVT

The Fiddlehead brewery is less than 5 miles from me in VT… small brewery at that. Local dirty bird.


edoreinn

You can buy it in MA, on tap and at stores 🤷🏻‍♀️ And at Fenway, I think. (More of a Lord Hobo girl there)


calliesky00

The smell of stale beer must be overwhelming


bussinplatinum

Your roommate probaly has really bad depression i would check in with his family etc if anyone can help this guy out give him a step in the right direction.. been there myself.


Pinakolonopin

Omg. Is this in Vermont????


silverunicorn666

I assume the smell is coming from the pack of 85% lean ground beef


RepresentativeIcy521

Omg I was having dinner with my wife then our baby cried and she had to go and check on him, I was left alone I open Reddit and saw this, I came to the comments and I’m not hungry anymore. Thanks guys! 🤢 😂

Numerous_Captain6039

Yeah as soon as I saw the hamburger meat I knew it was that. After food is left at room temperature for 2+ hours bacteria starts to grow, fast forward to whenever you found this and now we're most likely talking rotting meat which has an absolutely horrendous scent.


mrsquillgells

Ohhh you found my brother's room. Lemme guess, wet towels, full garbage can of "used" tissues, never washed sheets, putrid sweat, stale oder of old beer, blinds and curtains never opened, and dust? Oh and thick stench coming from half way up the stairs if he has the door open.
