Holy shit. The most frightening part is the fact that the Powerade bottles in the top left appear to be filled with piss. Who the hell doesn't leave the computer to go for a piss?

[–]fizznubby 20 points21 points ago

AHhhhhhhh I didn't even notice the piss until I read your comment. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit.

[–]hiding_from_my_gf 19 points20 points ago

Its most likely water that he put a cigarette out in. If you drop a cigarette butt into water, it looks just like piss.

but it could be piss.

[–]therealbighairy 16 points17 points ago

Look at all the butts on the desk. He doesn't look like the sort of person that would dispose of them in a bottle. Or have much to do with water, at all.

[–]JonnE4 12 points13 points ago

Give the man some credit, he did push the piss bottles to the back of the desk.

[–]komradwill(edit) 8 points9 points ago

he must play world of warcraft....

[–]hiding_from_my_gf 8 points9 points ago

Anyone, especially someone who smokes, can tell that those cigarettes were dumped there long after they went out. So someone tipped over a bucket of butts or an ashtray right there.

[–]phishf00d 3 points4 points ago

AHhhhhhhh I didn't even notice the piss until I read your comment. Piss piss piss piss piss piss piss piss.

FTFY.

[–]PlasmaSheep 11 points12 points ago

and... and they aren't even capped...

[–]fpsrandy 6 points7 points ago

[–]Zackeriess 5 points6 points ago

Seriously, at least cap those bad boys off. Your just hurting yourself at that point.

[–]jamesharland 8 points9 points ago

After reading your comment, all I could think of was this

[–]nofx1510 0 points1 point ago

It's probably not piss. Leave a plastic one time use bottle laying around full of water for awhile and it will start to eat away at the plastic giving it a yellow coloration.

[–]djbriandamage 0 points1 point ago

The water seems to be about the same colour as the Powerade.

Why am I analyzing this picture more closely?

[–]djbriandamage 1 point2 points ago

I joke about this with my WoW guildies. We refer to this as "the raid bucket" - a magical container bearing delicious treats but is equally useful once emptied.

I'll never get this image outta my head the next time they mention this. Yucko!

[–]cosmicsans 0 points1 point ago

Probably cigarettes because of the bottle in the front.

[–]IronicAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

They're not just in the top left, buddy. They are in the top right, so many they are off the screen, and they are in the foreground too. A veritable piss-bottle forest.

"But Mooooooom!"...

[–]custardnomE5530 | 5970 | 12gb 106 points107 points ago

Fucking disgusting! Seriously, whoever did this needs help. Nobody should be using Vista.

[–]f34rinc 21 points22 points ago

WASD and Spacebar are good to go

[–]tsilb 14 points15 points ago

I like how the yogurt is there as if to say "I'm living healthy".

[–]notfish 2 points3 points ago

Just spotted the banana peel under the plate!

[–]Genmaken 1 point2 points ago

It was probably the last thing left in the fridge at some point.

[–]Ahundred 9 points10 points ago

Why do people do this to themselves? Childhood trauma? And how hard is it to find something that can be repurposed as an ashtray?

[–]Lobotomus_Prime 8 points9 points ago

Now let's see it under a black light...

[–]Berlusconi 3 points4 points ago

I'd love to know the origin of this picture.

[–]knightofmars 1 point2 points ago

Some things are best left unknown.

[–]IronMew 0 points1 point ago

Don't ask questions whose answers the world is better off not knowing.

[–]deletecode 0 points1 point ago

I've seen a few like this and also seeking a name for it. It's like hoarding or something.. maybe just very addicting video games like WoW.

Some of the really bad ones were from people apparently making hentai.

[–]bah319 6 points7 points ago

I kinda wish the desktop was covered with icons for free trial software or at least just full of icons.

[–]boot20 4 points5 points ago

What the fuck is on the wall left of the monitor and right behind it?

[–]NTD 3 points4 points ago

Looks like the tower is under the desk beneath the piss bottles. Best guess is heat from that causes the piss to evaporate slowly and then condense on the wall causing dust and cigarette smoke to stick there and build up over time.

Short answer; pissy dusty smokey lovelyness.

[–]GramGuy 3 points4 points ago

at least his WASD keys are clean

[–]Neal1231 6 points7 points ago

What's with all the ashes? They need to calm down on the cigarettes.

[–]Eaglehooves 2 points3 points ago

Clean Kill it with fire. Whatever hardware is under that, it's not worth it.

[–]cantgetenoughtits 2 points3 points ago

Cigarettes, beer, Powerade, and...yogurt!? Go for broke, dude, get some pork rinds.

[–]peacefinder 2 points3 points ago

Adding exam gloves to toolkit now.

[–]sociopathic_hacker 2 points3 points ago

ugh...vista

[–]creamersrealm 0 points1 point ago

I wouldnt even go within a mile of that house.

[–]thrakkorzog 1 point2 points ago

Ugh. I felt like I got a little wheezy looking at this. COPD by proxy.

[–]weewickleone 1 point2 points ago

yeah, I was friends with a a guy that lived like this. he is an recovering addict and used video games to replace his heroin addiction. it's prolly piss in the bottles. he wouldn't even get up to feed his pets. it's frightening.

[–]f0rdf13st4 1 point2 points ago

I'm kind of a slob, but I still know the way to the bathroom...

[–]realblublu 0 points1 point ago

I can take care of that. I'll just need a vacuum cleaner, several trash bags and a nuclear bomb. And some way to drop it from orbit.

[–]Mugros 1 point2 points ago

backstory needed...

[–]mindctrlpankak 0 points1 point ago

just...just thinking about touching this makes me hungry

[–]knightofmars 1 point2 points ago

That mouse is surprisingly clean, must be new.

[–]IronMew 1 point2 points ago

This is emphatically not as sick as it gets - I've seen much worse. Not in real life, mind you, but there are some very disturbing pictures of homes belonging to shut-ins and addicts of various kinds. This is nothing in comparison; we're talking literally mountains of crap. Cubic metres of trash filling the living room, old food left randomly everywhere, moldy bathrooms and kitchens that you wouldn't dare enter in a fucking hazmat suit.

One report I saw of one such house stated that you'd never know from looking at the girl who lived there - relatively slim, nice person, even smelled OK. The only strange thing, coming from an acquaintance, was that she never let anyone in her home, always making up an excuse or another. Gee, I wonder why.

Hmm, I wonder if we have a subreddit for this...

[–]Chuckgofer 1 point2 points ago

[–]IronMew 0 points1 point ago

That was a stupid question. Also holy fuck.

[–]nebock 0 points1 point ago

I live next door to a person like this. Her car and home were both stuffed to the gills with trash and random crap. The city even came out a few times because she never cut her grass, etc. Eventually she abandoned the house and her mortgage I'm assuming.

A few months later after about 2 truck loads of trash were removed from the house, the door was left open so a few us went in there. There were still mountains of things even after two truckloads (it was a big truck with the bed that has boards on either side to make it higher). I just did a quick walk through as fast as I could which lasted maybe 5 minutes and by the time I got out I was wheezing and covered in hives.

Also, the bathtub was in the process of coming through the floor into the dining room below.

[–]IronMew 0 points1 point ago

One wonders if it wouldn't be more practical to burn the whole thing to the ground and rebuild the house. shudder

[–]nebock 0 points1 point ago

Yeah. That's what we were thinking. I think they actually ended up selling it again. What's sad is the older couple that had sold the crazy lady the house had just rehabbed it restoring all the woodworking and what not. I was at one time a beautiful home and one of maybe two on the block that had a second story.

[–]protomor 1 point2 points ago

I'm guessing that's urine in the bottles...

[–]WeAllLoveRed 1 point2 points ago

this is also an xpost from shittybattlestations

[–]Horse_Guy 0 points1 point ago

I have that same mouse

[–]Turious 0 points1 point ago

I can smell this over the Internet.

[–]Cloakedboltz 0 points1 point ago

At worst I have a dozen empty cans of cola laying around with a few tissues.

[–]demyze 0 points1 point ago

Just look at that keyboard cringe

And poor little defenseless Xbox standing there all alone in the corner

[–]Froey 0 points1 point ago

I like the picture on the monitor.

[–]zoltek 0 points1 point ago

Goddamn... this pic has been floating around almost as long as I have been registered on reddit. First r/battlestations, then r/WTF... man this pic is getting crazy.

Ranting aside, that is a fucked up and frightening setup.

[–]scottread1 0 points1 point ago

Looks like an average WoW player's battlestation.

[–]bamajohn251 0 points1 point ago

horsewhipped, horsewhipped.

[–]Habanawanga 1 point2 points ago

My room is normally quite filthy, but goddamn, this takes the cake.
