“Used to living in chaos” is on the money. I’ve had to experience of going to someone’s house and it just smells OVERPOWERINGLY like dog. Like omg disgusting dog smell everywhere, like they never learned about airing out their house or hosing down their dog sometimes or whatever. Ew ew ew.
Shit like that (chirping smoke alarm, overpowering stench) is just bizarre to me. But once they get used to it, they don’t even notice. For better or worse I guess you can get used to anything. You’ve seen how many cows here live in abjectly horrifying squalor.
