A woman seeks advice on how to handle her hoarder friend's persistent and useless gift-giving, which she finds wasteful and annoying. Miss Manners suggests politely donating the gifts rather than returning or accepting them, emphasizing that the friend's behavior is unlikely to change and that maintaining grace is preferable to confrontation.
The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky has proposed using a controlled burn to destroy an 'extreme' hoarder home allegedly filled with dangerous chemicals and explosives. The resident, Marc Troy Hibel, was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment after police discovered explosives, industrial chemicals, and 'laboratory grade equipment' inside the cluttered home. Concerns have been raised about the safety of a controlled burn, but the mayor has assured residents that safety will be the top priority, with evacuation plans and air quality monitors in place. The federal Environmental Protection Agency will be consulted before any decision is made.
