FormerMod-a1 April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 There are many memorable quotes, some good, some bad, some humorous, some sad. Here are a few I remember.. Matt Paxton, and lead to the title of his podcast: We're all 5 decisions away from pooping in a bucket. Hoarder Millie(?): I had a plan for that rock! Nadine: Can I get you pickle? I'm in a pickle! 3 Link to comment
Guest April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Paraphrasing my favorite scene: Loony hoarder: I can't give you this bag! It's my sister's! The one who my husband was having an affair with! Husband (lurking in the background, laughing): Yeah, um. You don't HAVE a sister. Link to comment
Guest April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Shelly! Yes! (I get the hoarders on these shows mixed up...but now I remember they did a flow up show on her and she was back to the same old tricks.) Link to comment
Espie April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 One of my favorites was a pretty angry son-in-law who wasn't making any secret of the fact that he was frustrated beyond belief at the situation he had to deal with regarding his wife's mother's hoarding. At one point he unearthed a rental video in her pile of filth and snapped "I wonder what the late fee is on THIS!", clearly implying that it had been there for years. It was totally in the way he said it; it was beautiful. 3 Link to comment
4leafclover April 29, 2014 Share April 29, 2014 This has been quoted before but my all-time favorite was the woman hoarder who absolutely would not get rid of anything and her sister picked up a rock she was keeping and hurled it across the yard. The hoarder said "I had plans for that rock!" I still laugh about that one................. 4 Link to comment
DB in CMH June 6, 2014 Share June 6, 2014 More gems from Nadine, when being confronted by Dorothy? "Cleaning has never really been my bag." And upon being asked why she left a ziplock of raw meat on the floor "I've been under a lot of stress lately." 4 Link to comment
Bella June 6, 2014 Share June 6, 2014 And upon being asked why she left a ziplock of raw meat on the floor "I've been under a lot of stress lately." Really? Is that what we're supposed to do when we're under stress? I thought people under stress were supposed to ignore emails and not return phone calls. Oh, well, you live and learn. Link to comment
Tosia June 6, 2014 Share June 6, 2014 Situation: Older mom hoarder sitting outside sorting through crap. Very frustrated daughter telling her to get a move on and throw stuff away. Daughter: "Where you going to put this?" (some plate or something), Mom: "Up my ass!" I still laugh when I think about this comment. 3 Link to comment
OSM Mom June 7, 2014 Share June 7, 2014 One of the other ones I remember is the woman who said something to the effect of her dead mother could crawl out of her grave and make another basket. Or maybe that was the other hoarding show. 4 Link to comment
BooksRule June 8, 2014 Share June 8, 2014 Jill (paraphrasing): 'It's okay to eat that. It's not puffy'. Lots of hoarders said this: 'I don't know what happened. It just got away from me.' 3 Link to comment
Elsinore July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I have no idea if this is a regular Hoarders quote or an Extreme Hoarders one. Loony hoarder who had her cats pee on burial shrouds the local undertaker gave her. I'm pretty sure I remember the cleaner schrink person bargaining with her over whether or not throwing them out. The word "pee cloth" was thrown around a lot and I laughed until I cried. Link to comment
OSM Mom July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I remember that one! Using those shrouds or whatever took the "ick" level to a whole new high for me. Link to comment
Elsinore July 15, 2014 Share July 15, 2014 I think it may have been dogs, or both. Pretty disgusting though. Link to comment
bubbls November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 Lots of hoarders said this: 'I don't know what happened. It just got away from me.' I'm horrified by the fact that I can understand this sentiment. Yikes. 4 Link to comment
kstar821 May 25, 2015 Share May 25, 2015 Jill has always been my favorite hoarder. I can't get sour cream out of my fridge without saying to my husband "What's the sour cream going to do? Go sour?" 6 Link to comment

nkotb June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I can't remember most of the hoarders names, and I unfortunately may not remember all of the exact details, but I will always remember the most important part of the one where there was a hoarder couple, who I think were living in a camper because their house was just too stuffed with hoard. The husband was on oxygen and the wife just had a wretched personality.The wife was going off about something, and this amazing scene occured: Husband: Do you want a pickle? (said as he's snacking on a pickle)Wife: No, I don't want a pickle! I'm in a pickle! Best line from any tv show ever! 2 Link to comment

ZaldamoWilder June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 Jill (paraphrasing): 'It's okay to eat that. It's not puffy'. ROTFLMAO!!! Puffiness as a consumption standard. I don't care what the experts say, you don't get HERE <------ with one trigger event ok? If you are considering putting in your mouth something that used to be a food, but is now straining with sepsis at its container? That is not no damn garden variety depression. My favorite is something almost all of them say about a "treasured" trinket, typically covered in layers of petrified feces: "I've been looking for that" - awesome. 3 Link to comment
Mu Shu July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 The woman who lived in a trailer with chickens. "People say I'm a redneck....Say I'm a hoarder....I say, durn right!" 1 Link to comment
QueBueno July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 Last week they replayed an old episode where the floor had some broken tiles, and no one could find the tile pieces and the hoarder was losing her shit. One of the cleaners did a TH saying completely deadpan, (paraphrased) "I guess we threw out the broken tile because it looked like... a broken tile." Years later that still makes me laugh. 6 Link to comment
funky-rat July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 I can't remember the exact wording, and I can't remember anymore which Hoarders show it was, but it went something like this: Horder is fixated on a broken plastic hanger - like one a shirt would hang on in a store - a cheap one. Therapist: Can I throw this broken hanger out? Hoarder: No! I planned to recycle that! Therapist: I know the codes, and this code means it can't be recycled. Hoarder: Then I could break it down further and use it in a craft project! I also remember someone absolutely obsessed with their Armoires. I can't remember if it was the possum group, or TWOP, where we were going "ARRRMMMMWWAAAARRRR!" for weeks after. 2 Link to comment
JudyObscure August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 Like many of you, Nadine is my favorite. Even more than the pickle line, I always laugh hardest when Dr. Zasio (who can't quite hide her anger at Nadine) sticks her head out onto the screened porch where Nadine sits smoking, surrounded by piles of hoard, and says in her most fakey, chipper voice, "Oh there's the lady of the house!" Nadine looks at the camera and rolls her eyes. I could watch the Zazz and Nadine together every week. Another great moment was the hoarder who looked out over 2000 square feet of floor to ceiling crap and said, "This wouldn't happen if I had a utility closet. 4 Link to comment
all fall down January 4, 2016 Share January 4, 2016 When I was out Christmas shopping, I saw a Darth Tater, and it made me laugh. 4 Link to comment
BooksRule January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 Ben (from the 'Ben and Robin and Kevin' episode); 'I could warsh 'em and use 'em again.' Gee, I wonder how many hoarders have said some version of that? 2 Link to comment
funky-rat January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 I recall back when the Possum group was in full swing, there was a family on one night that everyone called the "ass" family because they were fighting, telling each other to stick it up your, or they were going to kick your....it was every other word out of their mouth. I posted the video of Eddie Murphy's "Boogie In Your Butt" and hilarity ensued. I really wish they would do a follow-up with pretty much everyone who had been on the show ever. It could be online - I'd just love to know. 2 Link to comment
Grommet January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 I used "I had plans for that rock!" in conversation the other day and nobody got it, but it made me laugh. 6 Link to comment
Pepper Mostly January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 "I had plans for that rock" was the name of our Hoarders thread back on the Atlantic forum. Good times! 2 Link to comment
Jordan27 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 (edited) One of my all time favorites should be the anthem quote for this show as it has been said many times..... We are closeup to a hoarder and they ask, " Are you a hoarder?"......and the answer very often is.... "No, I'm not a hoarder, I'm a collector." The camera then pans around the house showing the usual towering mounds of dollar store and flea market trinkets, the ten year garbage collectibles and assorted creatures running amok.

Muffyn September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 I'm not sure which hoarding show it was on. There was a woman who had lost her false teeth in the filthy pile of garbage hoard. She spent so much of the episode asking "Did you find my teeth?" When found, she popped the filthy things in her mouth. When my house gets really messy, I find myself saying, "Did you find my teeth?" I would say the words most often are, "Keep that!" Uttered by every hoarder when sorting. 4 Link to comment

I like "lemme see that" - um, why now? you ain't seen it since 1981. 6 Link to comment

I wonder if The Possum From Hoarders is back up and running on FB. Matt and Corey often dropped by for some good old-fashioned snark.

enoughcats December 24, 2016 Share December 24, 2016 Dead-eyes Annie, who hoarded purses, candles, body lotion and Christmas decorations, is memorable to me for her justification of keeping a big red candle: That's not a candle, that's decor. 5 Link to comment
bethster2000 December 24, 2016 Share December 24, 2016 2 hours ago, enoughcats said: That's not a candle, that's decor. Husband and I were at Costco today and of course there were many displays throughout the store of scented candles and the like. Each time we would pass one, one of us would point and the other one would say, "That's not a candle. That's decor." And then we would crack up. 5 Link to comment

ZaldamoWilder December 29, 2016 Share December 29, 2016 Quote http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/12/hoarding-buried-alive-shelley-and-gene-video_n_1338524.html Unable to admit her lie, Shelley dug in deeper. Insisting that she really did have a sister, she then invented an even more outrageous storyline: “We don’t talk about her because Gene slept with her.” To which Gene explained, “She’s making an excuse to keep stuff.” Exasperated, he reiterated that they’d been together since 1984, he’d never been unfaithful, and she’d never had a sister. When Shelley broke down in tears and said she didn’t want to talk to him about it, Gene quipped, “Do you want to call your sister?” BWAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Thanks @funky-rat that was hilarious. 4 Link to comment
