I was watching this program on TV the other day which documented the lives of people who we would call pack rats.  These are individuals who compulsively hoard just about….anything.

Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding) is the acquisition of, and failure to use or discard, such a large number of seemingly useless possessions that it causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities such as mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering or sleeping.

The results of this behavior?  Some of the messiest and most disgusting apartments and homes known to man.

Just check this one out.
