But he invited me and a couple of other guys over one day and we went. Lived in a new house in a new neighborhood in Virginia Beach. Opened the door, and it was basically like that picture, everywhere, only worse. The shock of it was truly amazing. He had a trailer trash wife and a couple of nasty ass little kids, who apparently were on a mission to ruin the place. Not even the walls were spared. It was beyond vile. One of the other guys had to use the bathroom, and said the inside of the tub was black with grime. At one point he asked us if we wanted anything to eat, and I said "No, that's okay. I'll just grab something off the floor."

Obviously we didn't stay long, and never went back. I can't imagine what was going through his mind when he asked us over knowing the place looked like that.

Here's the photo I referred to:

yup. i pulled up to a customers house one day. i knew i was in trouble when the pickup in back was absolutely filled with those heavy duty stretch trash bags. overflowing actually.
kid let me inside, he was having problems with his internet. told me just to follow him (and the path).
every single kind of fast food box, wrapper, cups. everything. looked like the picture above--except for one small thing. add 3 feet in depth. it was horrifying.
when i diagnosed the problem to the kid, he couldn't understand how roaches could lay eggs and corrupt his cable modem. i won't even go into detail on that experience. probably too much for some of you hardasses!!!
