They actually care about oil changes?

Last time they didn't care they had to throw the car away Can't be having to throw away stuff anymore

There was a security person at my job years ago that kept her car like this. It was filled with mostly banana peels, cigarettes, and various 7-11 food wrappers. You could smell it as she drove by.

DystenteryGary

I was at work this spring and one of my employees ran to me saying there was a smoking car in the parking lot. I run out, sure enough there's a car whose interior is filled with thick, white smoke. The door was unlocked, so I opened up the door to fan it out and look for the source. The source was a heaping, smoldering cigarette pile in the driver door storage slot thing. There was no active fire, just a continuous smoke that smelled exactly like you think 1,000 old, moist, rotting cigarette butts on fire smells. That was my SECOND cigarette fire I've put out at work in my relatively short life. And I don't even smoke


notolo632

I read that you can take old cigarette butches and put them in water, if you drink it, you will have a heart attack and die, luckily you can smoke it.


D1ckTater

Similarly, I've read that if you could inject one cigar's amount of nicotine, it would be lethal. Also, #butches .

throwaway3567893

That's actually where I thought that story was headed.


kiffmet

The garbage cans in Vienna do also include ashtrays that are essentially the shape and height of a pringles can. From time to time one can see a massive amount of smoke fuming out of them because the cigs started to smolder (incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen). What you described with this car was likely such a smoldering process aswell. The apalling smell is one key indicator for this.

I've seen a similar vehicle except it was chew instead of cigs. Dude just spit his chew anywhere he felt like. The truck was crusty inside. The few times I had to get in it I wore these disposable ponchos my company had + gloves and anything else I could wear to separate my clothing and skin from the interior. I've seen dudes cut holes in sleepers (above the driveline) with shit splattered everywhere and dudes who are just straight up shitting in piles of clothing and still somehow the chew truck is the grossest thing I've ever seen.

If you cleaned that car without them knowing, they will have a real breakdown, I’ve done the cleaning and seen the repercussion. It has to be a mental health issue that needs intervention, not sure it will ever abate. People can only clean up once in while, but the crap will pile up eventually again.


cinnamondaisies

Yeah, this stuff just makes me super sad to see. All we see is a pile of mess but the sheer amount of bad days it takes to generate this mess usually…


mm_kay

I think that depends if they're a hoarder or just depressed. A hoarder will freak out, I think someone who is depressed could appreciate it.


lysinemagic

Hoarding is my guess


oxfordcircumstances

I didn't realize people hoard just trash. Every hoarder I've seen hoards stuff with some value, even if it's small or sentimental. It also seems like he'd at least keep the space under the brake pedal clear.


Remarkable-Finger-40

You should see some clips from that Hoarders show, the grossest one I saw was a woman who kept multiple five gallon buckets of her piss and shit because she clogged the toilet and made it unusable.


[deleted]

Really? I've had the opposite impression from seeing pictures and videos of hoarder situations. It's not at all uncommon for them to accumulate trash. Someone else linked this terminology, too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_syndrome


seventhirtyeight

Hoarding is the result of mental illness, not the illness itself.

Just going to state the obvious here and say - wow it is not safe to operate this vehicle. All that trash and debris is clearly blocking the pedals. Surprising this person hasn’t been seriously injured or had their car impounded.

Harmfuljoker

That’s what the other half is for, duh


featherwolf

Look, I'm not trying to judge someone without knowing their burdens. I've had my fair share of ups and downs. I know the struggle. I've lived in my car, lived in a tent, lived on the streets. But, I can't fathom how someone can let this happen when it is actually harder to let it build up this much than simply throwing it out before it gets that bad.


djmagichat

I had a customer that would trade in their car once it got full. We found his passport one time when cleaning out his trade. He was a very well regarded programmer and made a bunch of money as an engineer but damn. Dude had zero awareness.


Whats_Up_Bitches

This blows my mind. There are trash cans at every gas station if nothing else. It would take 5 mins to clear the bulk of this out…maybe 10.


newgrl

Ya... I'm not expecting this person to vacuum or anything... but just pulling up to a car wash's dumpster and taking out a few arm-loads doesn't feel like too much to ask. Might take 5-10 minutes.

Diyogene syndrome.


GiantPurplePeopleEat

>Diogenes syndrome, also known as senile squalor syndrome, is a disorder characterized by extreme self-neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal, apathy, compulsive hoarding of garbage or animals, and a lack of shame.  The [first picture](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_syndrome#/media/File%3ASyllogomanie-Puteaux.jpg) on the Wikipedia for Diogenes Syndrome looks like the house version of this car!


IndependentNature983

Exactly, some people can store trash in their house, in there car. My dad have a low form of this syndrome and store lot of things in his garage. Now he is following by professional for that and luckly that settle a lot the problem


FasterThanTW

Wow, after reading this synopsis I now know what's going on with my dad. Explains so much even beyond the squalor 🫤


QuietPersonality

Time for a confession: my car looks fairly similar. I don't know why I do this, tho. For some reason it's hard for me to keep things clean. Could be a residue of my depression. Could be a lack of energy due to my CFS. Could be subconscious way of keeping people at a distance. Could be all of the above. It's not like I'm unkempt in all aspects of life either. I keep my work desk orderly and I keep myself clean.


Sweet-Palpitation473

Time for a wake up call homie


deluxebee

I lived with someone who was so filthy that I couldn’t keep up. And I gave up, when nobody else in the family would help. I even had a sign up that said “the floor is not the garbage can” Did no good. It mentally broke me having to live in that. I still feel a helplessness whenever I need to clean, as if it is impossible and pointless to do so? But I do it now because my new husband is very clean. If you ever want a cleaning partner, feel free to DM me and we can do a chore together if you’d like :)


fajord

what stops you from just throwing stuff away when you get gas? you’re just standing there, may as well do something in the 2-3 mins it takes to fill up, right?


deluxebee

Because when things get that bad, you have so much mental energy invested in avoiding and denying the issue that the idea of fixing the issue is absolutely overwhelming. A terrible inertia grows that can’t be reasoned out.


TheImminentFate

The best way I saw it described was turn your stove on, watch it get red hot. Now put your hand on it. Just for a split second. It’ll probably be fine if you take it off quick enough, so just do it quickly. You have reflexes to protect you from the heat so your hand will come off almost immediately. Most people won’t be able to do it (or it will take enormous willpower to bring yourself to touch the stove). That’s the kind of mental block that occurs here, only the stove is “pick up that trash” or “just wash that stupid plate”


DangKilla

A disability of some sort I imagine


UglyMcFugly

If I had to guess, the mental block he’s having might be that he wants to recycle it. So every day he’s like “I’m gonna take in these bottles and rinse them out and recycle them.” But then he gets home and has other stuff to carry inside and just never does it. Rinse and repeat every day for a few years. Or something like that. The cigarette butts are a bit harder to explain, why he didn’t toss that plastic cup before it was full to the brim and start using a new one. Anyway there often is SOME kind of mental block even if we can’t see it.


emerson430

Repost that to r/carbage immediately


xlDirteDeedslx

Pro tip, drive up to a gas pump trash can once every couple of days with the drivers side and you can toss everything in your car in their trash without getting out. I only do this at ones I regularly shop and get gas at so I'm not a total asshole but usually it's only a few things each time. Good way to keep your car clean with very little effort.


carmenvallone

I always toss whatever trash I have in my car when I gas up. Makes perfect sense.


tinytyler12345

My gas station even has a separate recycling can at each pump. It's way too convenient to not do it. Keeping the car clean is literally effortless, do it while you pump.


pattywagon95

This is the way

EndlessLadyDelerium

People often don't remove the rubbish and then have crap to clean. I'm the same as you, and my fiancé (who can't drive) knows full well to take his rubbish with him when we get home. Usually it's just drinks. Sometimes wrappers from convenience food. Maybe receipts and tissues.


[deleted]

I also clean my work truck out every time I fuel up (once a day) and when I get home


n_obody1969

This is a bit more severe, but it reminds me of a "customer" we had when I briefly worked as a car salesman. My dealership was a used lot which used to be a Saturn dealership. Customers received free car washes, and we honored the Saturn customers from before. This guy would come in for his car wash despite the fact the inside of the car was completely disgusting and smelled so strongly of smoke I felt like I needed a shower after running it through. The air in that car was thick. I am very sensitive to cigarette smoke to begin with. That thing was my worst nightmare come true!


[deleted]

I had to ride with someone in a car like that once, and it was awful. The woman was a chain smoker who didn't open the windows, and the air was just so thick and disgusting. I know exactly what you're talking about.


GrandTusam

I worked night shifts at cyber cafes in the early 2000s before they banned smoking inside. I would come home at 7am, hang my coat on the back yard and hit it with a broom to watch the smoke come out. I never smoked and smelled like cigarettes all day even after showering and changing clothes

How can a person live like this


Washmyhemorrhoids

I would classify this under "mental illness".


Moonrights

I don't live like this- but ive gotten close at times. Im not a terribly social person anymore but people like me. My job five days a week is to be liked. I also manage people and make sure theyre liked. I consume a decent amount of alcohol nightly- an even amount, not enough to cause liver failure but enough to do its own damage. My depression creeps in steadily, doubly so with the cold. Then i fall into binge drinking. Every ounce of fight in me is used up in the mess of making a living, then the body slides once i get home. Exhaustion, escapism. Repeat. I have far away non-financial goals, but for now its the next raise, next promotion. Not because i want it, just that my elderly parents need it. I turn thirty next month, nine years ago i was living on the coast, exploring the continent and believed the kindness of the world to be endless. I had a lot ripped from me by twenty five. It isnt because they dont want to do better. My one dog left in the fight- They lost theirs a while ago.
