Believe it or not, I knew someone like that, you could be describing
her. Really, the stories I could tell. She was my boss for a time.
When she left (was fired), they had to fumigate her cube, it was
crawling with fleas. You get the general idea. A coworker's husband
is a roofer, he did her roof and my friend called him there. When he
got home he said NEVER CALL ME THERE AGAIN. He had to go into the
house to answer, and the filth and dog and cat feces all over the
place grossed him out.

I have no idea what the problem was, but she was/is obviously
mentally ill and should be on some kind of medication.
