What does she do for an encore, fill the pool with bowel movements?

I hope they're getting her some help psychologically speaking.

The Collyer brothers, famous for this sort of obsessive-compulsive hoarding,
were subjects of a stage play and a short film.

I used to think hoarding random garbage "just in case" was an Estonian thing (an Estonian man is driving down the road when he sees a dead crow lying on the ground. He stops the car and picks it up, thinking out loud: "I might need it." Two years later, he drives past the same place where he found the crow. He stops the car, opens up the trunk, takes out the crow and throws it back on the ground where he found it: "Didn't need it after all."), but it turns out to be another one of those strange ethnic stereotypes.

Another thought that crossed my mind: the difference between the garbage she collected and the useless "garbage" other people collect isn't really all that big...
