Someone's [[Fatal Flaw]] is that they are messy. But in fiction, it's not as simple as leaving the occasional book on the floor or not cleaning up a minor spill. No, [[Absurdity Ascendant|these people go all the way]] and produce environments that should not be able to sustain human life. Trash is overflowing from garbage bags like vomit from the mouths of several bloated black slugs, the air is a sickly brown colour, primitive lifeforms have begun to develop under the sink and [[It Came From the Fridge|don't even think about opening the fridge]]. But don't worry! They have A System[[Tradesnark™|™]].

{{examples}}
 
== Anime &and Manga ==
* Nodame's apartment in ''[[Nodame Cantabile]]'' is like this whenever Chiaki isn't around to clean it. How her piano stays in a playable state is anyone's guess.
* Lain's house in ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' gains a worrying amount of mess and a nasty brown fog near the end of the series, {{spoiler|when Lain's family turn out to be adoptive and goes away, leaving her alone there}}.
* Howl's house in ''[[Film/HowlsHowl's Moving Castle (anime)|HowlsHowl's Moving Castle]]''. Strangely enough, Howl seems to ''prefer'' it that way—but Sophie cleans up after him nonetheless.
* Sheska of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' is not a slob, but her room is absolutely full of unsorted books. So much that's she introduced needing rescue from being buried under a pile of them that fell over.
* Sato's apartment from ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' definitely counts. He at least tries to keep things marginally tidy during his 'oh god I'm a [[Hikkikomori]]' moments, but for the most part, its a sty.
Line 124 ⟶ 125:
* The Dust Men from ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' embrace this trope, as they bulit their base from pieces of steel plates and garbage over a park.
** They also construct some of their weapons for garbage as well. From annoying little spider drones to '''HUGE''' trash robots that are controlled by psychic hobos.
* Savage Terminal in ''[[Maple Story]]'' is a small planet where the folks in Grandis throw their garbage. There are two known settlements, though both are [[Wretched Hive]]s, populated mostly by criminals, outcasts, and scroungers. [[Mega Corp| The Angler Company]] and their cohorts believe the Savage Terminal [[Soiled City on a Hill| is beyond saving]] and two storylines (the starting zone storyline for Cadena and the “Detective Rave” storyline) involve their plan to eradicate life on it so the planet itself can be sold for scrap, a plan the hero has to foil, as good people do still live in the Savage Terminal.
