Grr to fat lazy cousins-in-law!
Particular cousin is a partial hoarder and seems to not believe in the concept of basic household chores. Her house is...diabolical feels like an understatement - they live in a Kim & Aggie style house. If you don't know who they are, google it. It's horrendous.
A few years ago I made the mistake of helping them move house. They had the notice for three months in advance that they would be moving and the keys for their new house for a whole month. The house itself? 50 metres down the road. They had done nothing. At all. And the place they were moving out of was so filthy that the landlady had given them notice to leave. It reeked something awful, there was all kinds of filth everywhere, dirty nappies left about, coffee mugs left out so much they'd started to grow mold, the works. That wasn't the worst part.
The worst part was that they made lunch and I ate it - the only reason I ate it was because I'd assumed my wife had made it for me (she knows I am ridiculously fussy with my food). Couple that with grappling with all their furniture. Within a couple of days I came down with chronic sickness and bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain and fever which triggered off my psychoses - so at the same time I was suffering with sleep depravation, audio/visual hallucinations, muscle spasms and hyper-sensitivity. It lasted about 10 days in all before I could finally sleep. Turns out I had picked up a nasty little bug called campylobacter (not sure on the spelling) from helping them move house and eating food at their place . The only consolation I got was that myself and another family friend who got roped into helping deliberately damaged all of their furniture - everything except the kids' furniture. Nothing so bad it was structurally unsound, just a few large chunks here and there.
Anyway, my wife, being the helpful kind, has been round on quite a few occasions over the last year to dig them out, helping them scrub their place from top to bottom, etc. Bear in mind the woman I am talking about has a baby about to turn 1 as well as two children aged 5 & 6, otherwise she wouldn't bother.
My wife took her and my daughter to see them because there was a carnival on.
THEY'VE GOTTEN WORSE.
Sorry to rant, but that crap really grinds my god-damned gears! Somebody needs to go round and kick her head in, I swear.
