Hoarders, amirite? The behaviour disables them from throwing away unneeded items because of excessive feelings of attachment to them — an inwardly selfish disability that often leaves the people around them to suffer in filth and squalor.
If you think it's not that serious of a problem, then feast your eyes on this video where neighbours have to actively fend off a legion of cockroaches residing in and emanating from a hoarder's flat.

Uploaded on Facebook by a sixth floor resident of Block 19 along Eunos Crescent, the short clip just goes to show the hellish circumstances one has to deal with when living with an extreme hoarder. According to the uploader, the couple residing the roach-ridden unit are not disabled as people assume to be — the husband is a working man while the wife is the hoarder.
The worse part is that they've been tolerating their hoarder neighbour for 20 years.
Officers from the National Environmental Agency (NEA) actually come fortnightly to spray pesticide around the house, and it was only when they managed to get into the offending house and spray shitloads of pesticide that the roaches came out to play.
