Line 20:
* 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/Howls Moving Castle|Howls Moving Castle]]''. Strangely enough, Howl seems to ''prefer'' it that
* 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 67:
* ''[[Roadside Picnic]]'' by the [[Strugatsky Brothers]] demonstrates what happens when [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] have this trait. (For those not in the know, this book was the basis for ''[[STALKER]]''.)
* The Wyler/Garin household in [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Regulators]]''.

* In Harper Lee's ''[[To Kill a Mockingbird]]'', the Ewell family's house and yard are described this way.
* In the ''[[Nightside]]'' series, Suzie Shooter's place is like this. John speculates that the only reason she doesn't have rats is because she eats them.
