  6. CWR says:

    Where are all her cats?

  7. Daughter says:

    I think this is my most favorite fail ever. The book makes it.

  8. bluemoon says:

    I guess they haven’t started reading it yet…

  9. Bush Supporter says:

    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?

  10. IlikeMyself says:

    The book seems to be doing its job

  11. AntiPope says:

    FIRST

  12. told'ya says:

    I told you that book would come in handy one day!

  13. The subject is a fail,

    but if you need an arrow to point it out:

    Photo FAIL

  14. hartog says:

    isn’t it like illegal to post a picture of my car without asking me FIRST?

  15. CWR says:

    I’ve never seen anyone hoarding white arrows before.

  16. tobstv says:

    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.

  17. Lauren says:

    Quite amazing really.
    Do they never have to drive somebody around in the back seat?

  18. Obama Zombie says:

    LOLZ UR Teh STOOPID!!!!1
    I R Moor of the smrt!!

  19. CWR says:

    I’m surprised that the photo doesn’t show the full U-Haul trailer behind the car…

    • Sinakus says:

      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.

  20. Arthur Eld says:

    Just imagine how it smells inside…

  21. Breddy says:

    I am going to keep this one for ever

  22. The Moomin says:

    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.

  23. InfiniteMonkey says:

    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.

  24. Peck says:

    My vagina is throbbing. Should I rub it?

  25. ringo says:

    lmao totally the best thing i’ve seen all day.
    granted my day just started, but still.

  26. RankMyTyping says:

    Those crazy hoarding Charlotte women…

  27. Lindsay says:

    Omg! This comes nowhere near my Mom’s level of packratting…

  28. Jonny says:

    Not sure this is a fail?

  29. meeb says:

    how is identifying and wanting to rectify a personal psychological issue a fail?

  30. Lola says:

    I wonder if he was just indiscriminately hoarding that book.

  31. Hitch-Hiker Zombie says:

    -comes out of the pile of junk in the back seat- BRAAAAAAINS!!!!

  32. Kara says:

    Why did it have to be Charlotte?

  33. Punisher says:

    moomin are you still awake?

  34. JH says:

    I actually am an obsessive-compulsive hoarder, so this makes me smile.

    I guess this would at least be a “recognizing the problem” win…

  35. This looks like my car…

  36. Phaet says:

    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)

    • Kara says:

      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.

  37. PeachyKat says:

    I have a weird feeling this was a deliberate joke.

  38. jordanwb says:

    I can see one arrow pointing at the book on the dash, but what is the second arrow supposed to be pointing at?

  39. Olson says:

    OMG. This looks just like my friend’s car. Except her car has more junk and a greater variety of it.

  40. abstract says:

    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.

  41. JohnnyHG says:

    That person could easly save a 10$ of gaz per week just by removing that extra weight from her/his car. LOL

  42. Jordansmoke1 says:

    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

  43. Failerella says:

    I feel bad for these folks. I lived next door to a hoarder once, stuff was piled up past the tops of her windows.

  44. randomness says:

    i know a guy who bought an extra apartment to store his newspapers… it’s scary.

  45. Andrew says:

    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

  46. Lily says:

    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

    • Selchie says:

      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.

      • mindmelda says:

        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.

  47. InfiniteMonkey says:

    Is that “Skinhead Weekly” for 88¢?

  48. mindmelda says:

    Ew…my mother’s car. She has hoarding OCD. Yes, fun growing up with mom.

    Off to see the shrink now.

  49. Biff says:

    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.

  50. Roo says:

    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!!

    Heck, man, we gotta laugh at ourselves!!!

  51. AJJohnson says:

    Forget the Book ….buy some matches……

  52. bnici1015 says:

    This is hilarious, also I can tell by the magazine and grocery store circular that it was shot in my city! LOL!

  53. Francisco says:

    come on!!! at least it scores some points for trying to overcome it, right????

  54. fail says:

    my car gets like this often

  55. ijostl says:

    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!
