Hey, I know the woman who lives in that car. She puts that book there so people think she’s just a hoarder and don’t tow her car away. She’s still in it so it continues to work. WIN!
I have the unpleasant feeling that we’re rushing into things. We’d better set a new date for the election in say three to six months. That gives the rabbit breeders ample time to come up with a proposal for an election procedure for their representative.
(Good morning everyone, sorry that I can’t join you more often)
Forget about the committee. I know one or two bars where we can get drunk in style. And several where we can ignore style.
(Although he doesn’t turn green.)
We don’t have their name, but they look like ^_^, and there can’t be many people look like that? I think it’s defamation of character.
(It is, a good morning for a chinwag. A shame DrB can’t join us to complete the morning committee)
I got overpaid by $15 once. Before they could correct the situation, I closed all my accounts, burned my house down to the ground, killed a few of the neighbors (just to throw them off my trail), and made a run for the border. I showed thhem!
I’M NOT CERTAIN ANYBODY NOTICED THE MANUAL ON THE DASH, ‘OVERCOMING COMPUSLIVE HOARDING’. THAT’S FUNNY CONSIDERING IT LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT BE ONE. WHO ELSE NOTICED THE MANUAL?
If you watch the credits you’ll see we get attacked by a tentacled monster for no reason then the universe explodes but it then turns out to be the glint in Hello Kitty’s eye.
But I didn’t FIRST hone a well-crafted sentence containing the word FIRST for the purpose of saying FIRST without getting tazed. (At least, I wasn’t the FIRST to do so…)
*wakes up on floor drooling* Did I go to work this morning? Did I have a nice day? Who gave me this really bad perm? Oh, hi, Moomin–Didn’t see you standin’ there. *SQUEEZE*
That woman (yes, I said it!) shouldn’t be allowed to drive in he first place; first emergency stop (or hill start, come to that,) and she’s going to get a face full of bibliopedia.
Hi Mookie! Sexy girrl!
(My posts are going the wrong place and taking near 10 mins. to refresh.)
*sigh*
“Like Strawberry Wine” was in reference to your “Teen spirit” comment.
Pretty much on a par, they all seem to make it up as they go along. Some wear fancy hats, others wear white coats.
(I’ll blame me first, that’ll scupper your plans)
Ok what’s that at the back where arrow points? A hoarding machine or something? I have no idea what hoarding is so I assume it was something to do with masturbation (I noticed when I don’t get a joke it’s a sexual joke)
Not everything is about sex. The arrows are pointing to all the crap in the car. It’s overflowing everywhere.
Hoarding means you keep things, compulsively, and can’t bear to part with anything. 10 year old newspapers, empty jars, bottles with only a drop left in them, old books, clothes that haven fit in decades, all cluttered up in your home (and car, apparently). Some people hoard specific things but usually it’s a broader disorder that encompasses everything.
this is sad, i have the same issue (compulsive hording), but not to this extent. I found an article about it, and I horded it. I told my boyfriend that i had saved it so i could read it later, but then i read it, and hoarded it away. wow, it’s sad. I can’t get rid of anything.
Bahahahaha Charlotte Woman. Judging by the condition of that car, and the fact that they have a magazine only sold in the City I live in, there is a good chance I know that filthy pig. XD
You really need an attitude adjustment. Just because a problem is psychological rather than physical doesn’t mean that it is less ‘real’ or that the people who suffer from said problem are weak or blame-worthy. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a terrible affliction: firstly, people who suffer from serious OCD almost always have a truly traumatic series of events in their past (abuse, deprivation, etc) and, secondly, OCD often effects these people’s lives to such an extent that their ability to function is seriously impaired.
As someone who has worked with dyslexic children (who have often suffered horrific psychological abuse due to their learning disability), I have to say that the attitudes of people such as yourselves to psychological problems are below contempt. Would you call someone who had, say, severe incontinence a ‘filthy pig’ when their problem manifested itself?
Ultimately, this person has recognised and is trying to overcome their problem so I think that we should give them kudos for that. I’d say that picture’s not a “fail”, it’s a Win.
Oh, at some point, you have to learn to laugh at life. I grew up with an OCD mother who hoards and refuses to get help for it. We coped, but yes, it made for a weird childhood.
I also work with children with learning problems, including my own son, who has Aspergers. I have ADHD, myself, and often work with kids who are the same.
I’m 49 years old, my mom is 71, and she’s not going to stop at this late date.
But, I’ve learned to see the humorous side of growing up with OCD weirdness, and I think it made me a more sympathetic person, but my brother and I laugh ourselves to tears at times telling stories about how my mom’s hoarding has made for some truly weird moments in our lives.
Humor is a coping mechanism, after all.
Compulsive hoarding is a serious mental health issue that is notoriously difficult to overcome, and it can have devastating long term consequences. At least the car owner is aware of the problem.
If anyone is interested in learning more (as opposed to being snarky), please check out http://childrenofhoarders.com/ , a site put together by people whose parents suffered from this condition.
I’m sad to say, this car reminds me of mine! Mine’s not quite this bad, though. I often do have “clutter control” books in the car, but being a great fan of irony, I always make sure that it’s buried under something so folks can’t see it!!
Hey, I know the woman who lives in that car. She puts that book there so people think she’s just a hoarder and don’t tow her car away. She’s still in it so it continues to work. WIN!
pop psychology orgy disorder
not a fail
Totally a fail. You don’t leave your self-help book on the dash.
The fail lies in the act of buying a self-help book in the first place.
books are evil and the people who buy them are the super devil. >.>
I wouldn’t say that, but self-help books are pathetic, and so are their authors.
That’s only one of her five copies of that book BTW…
sad.
I know, only five, right?
I got ten. And three of them are signed.
Your own signature doesn’t count in this instance.
What if he’s the author?
Oh. What if I’m the author?
All we can be sure of is that there is at least one author, and any of us could potentially be it.
I wasn’t. I wrote “Enhancing Compulsive Hoarding”.
I wrote “Dancing Impulsive Boarding”.
This is all quite quantum.
How much IS that book, anyway?
Depends on whether you are looking at it or not.
Depends get filled by old folks
… but he is the Arthur.
If he was the author, then this might as well also be an author fail.
Don’t be sad, karo was just joking. Right, karo? *stern face*
Reconsidering… You might lose your power when you’re no longer feeling blue.
Luckily, that’s not how my power works.
I know, quantum, right?
No. Stop saying quantum.
Thats right. Trying to find help is for people that suck. Who does that jerk think he is?!
Success, he used to be a compulsive neat freak.
letting go of letting go … nice
Hey, I know the woman who lives in that car. She puts that book there so people think she’s just a hoarder and don’t tow her car away. She’s still in it so it continues to work. WIN!
SECOND!!!!!
potato
Way to deal.
I’m glad that isn’t my car…
You are like baby Moses…
Please don’t reply to this comment.
Which comment?
Don’t worry, I won’t.
I considered to, but you won’t so I won’t.
Well if you’re not going to, I’m not going to all by myself. I’d feel silly.
(Morning)
It’s a good thing we didn’t.
Why should we anyway?
(Good morning!)
This is why things seldom get accomplished by committee.
(Morning, boys!)
We should set up a sub-committee to investigate the unsuccessful nature of committees.
(Morning Mookie, love the new avatar)
It’ll be a tough job to get the right multi-partisan staff for the sub-committe. Let’s set up a work group to analyse that.
(Yeah, me too)
Well, first we should vote on whether to set up the work group… Um, I think we need to elect officers before we vote…
First, we would need to vote the dress code for those officers.
(what were you looking at when you took that picture for your avatar?)
50% male/50% female and 50 % employers/50% employees. Interest groups, minorities and rabbit breeders have to be represented.
That implies that rabbit breeders aren’t a minority?
Duh – they breed like rabbits…
Don’t you breed rabbits? HUGE disadvantage in an economic crisis…
No, the bastard rabbits conspired to make me crash my car by popping up in unexpected places. (True story)
Mebbe if yer car wasn’t such a mess…
I have the unpleasant feeling that we’re rushing into things. We’d better set a new date for the election in say three to six months. That gives the rabbit breeders ample time to come up with a proposal for an election procedure for their representative.
(Good morning everyone, sorry that I can’t join you more often)
We need a date. I think it’s best if we have a date committee.
(Every time you’re here you count for more than one.)
I’ll be your date. Where you taking me?
(What he said)
I have a committe working on that question.
(Took me ages to realize…)
Best excuse I ever heard for getting out of a date. I’ll have to remember that one.
(You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry though)
Forget about the committee. I know one or two bars where we can get drunk in style. And several where we can ignore style.
(Although he doesn’t turn green.)
There’s no reason why we should. We should prove that their attempt at reverse psychology has failed!
(How you doing Czuhc and Arthur?)
It’s a ridiculous to think that I’d answer something like this!
(Pretty good, how are you all doing? Nice picture Mookie!)
I know! What do they take us for? I’m outraged by this!
(Fine cheers, brand new working week. Wooo.)
I’m considering to sue that person.
(At least it’s also a new failblogging week…)
We don’t have their name, but they look like ^_^, and there can’t be many people look like that? I think it’s defamation of character.
(It is, a good morning for a chinwag. A shame DrB can’t join us to complete the morning committee)
Biometrical data is sufficent to identify this person. Sooner or later we’ll have some surveillance-cam pictures.
(Why can’t he? Vacation?)
They sneezed on you?
(working)
I kept DNA samples.
(Since when is that an excuse to not post on failblog?!)
Personally I’d have wiped it off.
(Technically since always I guess)
(I know I’m not getting paid this month.)
That is, alas, too close to the truth…
Sucks doesn’t it? *sigh*
I can’t decide whether avatar-theft or not getting paid is worse.
Not getting paid. This month, I’ve worked so little that I actually have to pay my company money.
Whaaa? Really? What for?
They overpaid me by £754.34. I have to give it back unfortunately.
I just thought they liked my work. *roffles*
Can’t you pay that back over the coming months?
Nah, I’ll just send them a cheque or they can take it from my pay packet next time.
I’d cut and run with it but it wouldn’t get me far.
I got overpaid by $15 once. Before they could correct the situation, I closed all my accounts, burned my house down to the ground, killed a few of the neighbors (just to throw them off my trail), and made a run for the border. I showed thhem!
sorry, thhem! is supposed to be tthheemm!!
LOL!
Successful troll is successful?
Ooops, crap, now what?
Where are all her cats?
the trunk.
Next to her pile of acorns.
Actually I think they are attached via bag to the side of the car.
I’ve been trying to conjure up some magical “letting the cat out of the bag” pun, but it’s just not coming.
That’s what she said.
Pussy out of the pouch?
I think this is my most favorite fail ever. The book makes it.
im sorry but the book didn’t make it, poor thing was choked to death.
groaner!
I guess they haven’t started reading it yet…
I’M NOT CERTAIN ANYBODY NOTICED THE MANUAL ON THE DASH, ‘OVERCOMING COMPUSLIVE HOARDING’. THAT’S FUNNY CONSIDERING IT LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT BE ONE. WHO ELSE NOTICED THE MANUAL?
Hm… Well, only a Bush supporter would be so blunt and unintelligent…
You’ve cracked the code, I daresay.
OMG HAHAHAHA
I didn’t notice, even with the large white arrows.
wow i sure am an idiot!
Irony win.
hoorah!
Ermm… I don’t think that was part of the fail
“Might” be? You’re kidding, right? My ex’s car(van) looks like that too.So does her home.
The book seems to be doing its job
FIRST
No… no you aren’t. Now go away.
Pitiful
don worry. I’ll get this one….
*tazetazetazetaze*
I told you that book would come in handy one day!
The subject is a fail,
but if you need an arrow to point it out:
Photo FAIL
That city is a win.
isn’t it like illegal to post a picture of my car without asking me FIRST?
Hey, that’s MY car! And I need all the attention I can get! I’ve a crew to feed…
Oh. Are you Octomom because you have eight kids? I was hoping it was because you had eight legs.
Four arms and four legs maybe?
All of the above: with all those kids and books, I’ve got to be able to multitask…
You can either have four or eight legs. Having four legs plus four kids who carry you doesn’t count.
I think she’s saying she has eight kids, and because of that she had to have extra limbs attached to cope with them all?
I would understand that if it’s about arms. But eight legs? To kick the kids?
It’s so they each have one to grab onto when they are screaming in the supermarket for sweeties.
Finally someone who understands me so well!
I’ve a tophat on, let’s put it to good use and get married!
Moomin and Octomom lived on happily ever after.
The end.
I hate it when anime series end so abruptly…
If you watch the credits you’ll see we get attacked by a tentacled monster for no reason then the universe explodes but it then turns out to be the glint in Hello Kitty’s eye.
There’s ALWAYS a reason for a tentacled monster attack.
Umm…you said FIRST!! (Well, you DID…)
So did you!
*points finger accusingly*
But I didn’t FIRST hone a well-crafted sentence containing the word FIRST for the purpose of saying FIRST without getting tazed. (At least, I wasn’t the FIRST to do so…)
*taze*
:p
*wakes up on floor drooling* Did I go to work this morning? Did I have a nice day? Who gave me this really bad perm? Oh, hi, Moomin–Didn’t see you standin’ there. *SQUEEZE*
I’ve never seen anyone hoarding white arrows before.
She just started her collection. She needed a few extra pointers.
That woman (yes, I said it!) shouldn’t be allowed to drive in he first place; first emergency stop (or hill start, come to that,) and she’s going to get a face full of bibliopedia.
Oddest. Pornsite. Ever.
Oooh… Porn.
Yes, they have some on the interweb…somewhere.
Quite amazing really.
Do they never have to drive somebody around in the back seat?
You mean – you think this person has friends?
There’s a good chance that someone is in the back seat. Covered by a ton of junk, starved to death and forgotten since. Poor hitchhiker.
Yeah, my car gets like this sometimes. You can hear the scurrying of small animals foraging for food scraps underneath it all.
Sorry, I’ll be quieter next time.
LOLZ UR Teh STOOPID!!!!1
I R Moor of the smrt!!
Fatal error #344: Please reboot brain.
Unable to find brain.
Shutting down.
You did what with who now?
I’m surprised that the photo doesn’t show the full U-Haul trailer behind the car…
I’m suprised the photo does not show the gigantic ferry her car is on. Which she ownes. And full of crap. That she ownes.
Just imagine how it smells inside…
…like victory?
…like teen spirit?
…like someone shat inside a prosthetic leg?
(“something about Paul McCartney”)
Chicks been sayin’ that fer near half a century…
Like Strawberry Wine?
Is that what he was doing? No wonder they divorced. I said you couldn’t houstrain beatles.
or housetrain them either.
*kersplotches*
Hi Mookie! Sexy girrl!
(My posts are going the wrong place and taking near 10 mins. to refresh.)
*sigh*
“Like Strawberry Wine” was in reference to your “Teen spirit” comment.
I am going to keep this one for ever
It’s actually a top secret plan showing a proposed pincer movement to take the holy grail on the back seat. The fail is that it’s been leaked.
Damn, you figured out the grand plan! How?!
Hey, this is a great FAIL picture. I think I’ll print it out and put it in the box with all the others. Got to buy some more boxes too.
I like boxes.
I can’t find mine anymore. They have to be somwhere under that pile of stuff I wanted to store in boxes.
Are you a Schrödinger Moomin?
I may or may not be. You’ll have to look at me to find out.
As a quantum moomin you are and you’re not. And you may become a cow, a tree or Madonna any second. Unlikely, but possible.
So you say I could be anything?
(Here we go again. . .)
Yes. And no.
(You started it!)
This is why all science is bunkum.
(You gave me implicit permission)
Let’s stick to religion.
(It was more of a request.)
I have as much belief in that as science.
(So it was your fault!)
That much?
(It was. But I’ll blame you when we’re in court!)
Pretty much on a par, they all seem to make it up as they go along. Some wear fancy hats, others wear white coats.
(I’ll blame me first, that’ll scupper your plans)
Dirk wears white socks.
(So there)
White socks Dirk wears?
*cries*
Hey, lookita me! I’m Moomino!
Is that like the smallest particles a moomin is made out of?
Mebbe, it’s justa that “I’ma Moomio” didn’ta looka right…
I’d like to think that moominos look like teeny tiny moomins, but without a tophat.
That would be sperm.
Let’s try not to stick to things, shall we?
Sigh.
*puts away glue and double-sided sticky tape*
*has hand glued to moomin’s ankle*
Too late…
Schmoooo…
As long as we remembered to stick the caps onto those cameras we should be ok. . .
Please don’t get the caps key stuck! *cringes*
My vagina is throbbing. Should I rub it?
Only with a self-help book.
Only if you’re *certain* it’s *your* vagina.
How on earth should Peck decide? Your tips aren’t helpful. I’ll jump in and say: Yes. Have a nice day.
And make sure you’re not at work when you do it.
Vagina-rubbing is ok, only wanking is forbidden.
I must stop doing that!
And damn you for being faster!
Damn you, jam, for stealing my avatar!
Muahahahahaha.
You have a dirty laughter for a moomin.
I am actually proud of my evil laugh.
I’m stealing yours now. Just because I can.
Oh really? What are you gonna do now, huh?
Go back to work?
Nooooooooooo!
*grabs The Moomin’s ankles to prevent her leaving*
I really must earn my crust.
Besides, I’m S’ingTFU remember?
We’ll all be made redundant soon anyway so what difference does it make?
*note to self: I must keep up with all these damned name changes!*
You’re a cheery sort this morning aren’t you Arthur?
Actually I’m so lonely that I talk to myself.
I know, look at him bringing the mood down. It’s a disgrace.
*squeeze*
I’ll talk to anyone.
What makes you think I’ll talk to you?
Please don’t exclude me! *sobs*
Me? Why should I? I like you!
Thanks Please. Anyone was being mean to me.
That asshole!
We should form an ass-whupping committee to beat that asshole.
It’s ok guys, You is a tough girl, she can handle it.
I is a tough girl?
She is an asshole wrangler, after all.
No You.
Me?
You, you look different!
I had my nosehair clipped.
It wasn’t pretty I can tell Me.
Tell You surely?
I was telling you not You!
*hides*
I’m going to leave now, I don’t understand any of this anymore.
Wait! You still have to discover the Moomino particle!
…save us…
Isn’t vagina-rubbing just lady-wanking?
I thought that was Polish male wankers only?
Good Lord I’m slow.
Clickie if ya dast – ShamWOW!
Rubbing, polishing, what’s the difference?
Cleaning vs making shiny?
Tired vs clean?
lmao totally the best thing i’ve seen all day.
granted my day just started, but still.
Those crazy hoarding Charlotte women…
Good Charlotte.
68.59, my highest yet. Or 65.89, which is still my highest yet. I forgot in my excitement
Good job!!! It is hard to follow all your name changes. If you change your image I am doomed!
Thankyou. *squeeze* I get lost with the name changes too
The moomin will always remain as my image though.
Omg! This comes nowhere near my Mom’s level of packratting…
Not sure this is a fail?
how is identifying and wanting to rectify a personal psychological issue a fail?
I wonder if he was just indiscriminately hoarding that book.
-comes out of the pile of junk in the back seat- BRAAAAAAINS!!!!
Aaaaaaaah!
*crashes car into evil rabbits*
You are certainly anti-rabbit today? Did something happen?
Not for a long time, but it seemed relevant. Hello.
Evil rabbits must be huge if you can crash a car into ‘em.
Why did it have to be Charlotte?
There wasn’t room for a Balrog.
moomin are you still awake?
Yes, so you can put that permanent marker and potato away.
I actually am an obsessive-compulsive hoarder, so this makes me smile.
I guess this would at least be a “recognizing the problem” win…
This looks like my car…
Ok what’s that at the back where arrow points? A hoarding machine or something? I have no idea what hoarding is so I assume it was something to do with masturbation (I noticed when I don’t get a joke it’s a sexual joke)
Not everything is about sex.

Some people hoard specific things but usually it’s a broader disorder that encompasses everything.
Ahem. “Old books” are certainly something one shouldn’t throw away.
I have a weird feeling this was a deliberate joke.
I can see one arrow pointing at the book on the dash, but what is the second arrow supposed to be pointing at?
OMG. This looks just like my friend’s car. Except her car has more junk and a greater variety of it.
this is sad, i have the same issue (compulsive hording), but not to this extent. I found an article about it, and I horded it. I told my boyfriend that i had saved it so i could read it later, but then i read it, and hoarded it away. wow, it’s sad. I can’t get rid of anything.
I bet you’ve got thousands of fail entries bookmarked…
That person could easly save a 10$ of gaz per week just by removing that extra weight from her/his car. LOL
Maybe she read the book and she decided to filled her car with useless crap to take to the dump?………..then again maybe shes just a slob
I feel bad for these folks. I lived next door to a hoarder once, stuff was piled up past the tops of her windows.
i know a guy who bought an extra apartment to store his newspapers… it’s scary.
Not a fail obviously he got the book because he needs to get over it. However why would he have a book in the head board does he read while he drives
Im not sure its a male. There is a copy of Charlotte Woman behind the book. And males dont tend to buy self help books unless its about money lol
Maybe he’s gay.
Good point… Hopefully not.
Bahahahaha Charlotte Woman. Judging by the condition of that car, and the fact that they have a magazine only sold in the City I live in, there is a good chance I know that filthy pig. XD

Forget the Book ….buy some matches……
This is hilarious, also I can tell by the magazine and grocery store circular that it was shot in my city! LOL!
come on!!! at least it scores some points for trying to overcome it, right????
my car gets like this often
Hey, I know the woman who lives in that car. She puts that book there so people think she’s just a hoarder and don’t tow her car away. She’s still in it so it continues to work. WIN!
nice car ==]
