SCOTS have been left horrified after a maintenance worker shared a picture of a mountain of used tea bags stacked up and left to fester in a dirty kitchen.

       The photo, shared on Twitter by the friend of a maintenance worker, shows used rotting tea bags almost stacked up to the ceiling from the kitchen counter, while also covering the floor.

       In the picture, a number of used milk cartons also appear to be left lying around the filthy kitchen - with no sign of a bin.

       The kitchen counter appears to be stained by a dark looking colour.

       Dirty dishes can also be seen surrounding the mucky tea bag pyramid.

       The user tweeted: "My mate's dad had to go into a flat to do some maintenance and this was in the kitchen. I can't believe people live like this."

       The picture, which was uploaded on Tuesday, has racked up thousands of reactions online.

       It's garnered much attention from people aghast at the discovery from the worker.
