Have you ever been accused of being a hoarder?

[Black A. Camus]

What are things you won't throw away even though you need to? I don't know why, but I have a hard time throwing away old worn out socks. I walk heavy on my heels so all of my old gym socks have holes there. I buy new ones, but I don't throw away the ones with holes in them because sometimes, especially when it's cold, I wear worn out socks over new ones for extra padding and warmth.

Among other things, my girl complains about my worn out socks constantly. Long story short, she was pissed about something else I did and threw away my old, worn out, socks to get back at me (I know it). Even though I know she was right to throw them away, I still felt some type of way about it.

Also, I have a drawer full of old coax cable, splitters, cell phones, and old computer parts. She's been bitching about that too. I told her if she throws those things away I'll probably break up with her.

I guess I am a hoarder when it comes to some things. What are the things you hoard, and won't throw away, even though you know you should?

Throw her away

You still have your Ramon vids?

Bruh! I think I have every cell phone (damn near) that I've ever purchased, in a box.

I also like to tinker and work with my hands, so I have parts for cars that
I don't have a use for...but someone will at some point.

I was just going through my closet pulling out old work jeans that have gotten snug in the waist...but you gotta have those work around the house/garage clothes. I gotta toss them shits though.

You're foolish and stupid to me. Of course I don't. So say this out loud for a second, you're not gay, and I am, because you watch porn with gay men in it and I don't. Isn't that stupid, if not border line mentally retarded?

Gay men are everywhere: they're in our work place, they're on t.v.--including children's cartoons, they're in politics, and they're even in sports now. So be it. The one place I will not accept gay men, however, is in my sex life.

Whether you watch porn with your girl, or alone, or some combination of the two, porn is a part of your sex life. The last and defining bastion of heterosexuality is your sex life. If you knowingly watch porn with gay men it then you have gay in you, because you voluntarily accept them in your sex life. Moreover, if you knowingly watch porn with gay men in it then you're volunteeringly and willingly seeing gay dick.

Semantics aside, you can't watch porn without seeing the male performer. We all (well most of us) focus only on the female during porn. Still, there are frames, and segments, during porn scenes where only the male is visible--because porn producers try to appeal to female porn watchers too. So, whether or not you "look" at the male performer, you still see him. That should bother you if you know he's gay.

If I know the male performer is gay I won't watch his scene. Once I know someone is gay a voice inside my head (akin to Riley from the Boondocks) repeatedly reminds of it. I get disgusted and it ruins the scene for me. Because of that, I can't, and won't, knowingly watch porn with gay men it. Furthermore, and most importantly, such scenes are not purely heterosexual if you know the man is gay.

I think a lot of the people trying to clown are more gay than straight. It's likely your insecurities about your sexuality prevent you from conceding the above is true, and make you try to deflect attention from yourselves. Keep that shit in the closet and away from me though: there is plenty of room left on my ignore list.

There is a Japanese lady that wrote (I believe) a New York Times bestsellers book about getting rid of clutter in your life. It has to do with only keeping things that bring you joy and actually saying goodbye to other items by "thanking them" for their service in your life...

I know it seems a little far-fetched, but think about it: most of the things we "hoard" are due to the memories that surround them. If you truly thank something for its service and the joy it's provided you, you might possibly be able to rid yourself of some of those socks...amongst other things...

I struggle with paper, but have a system where, once a week, I go through old mail, bills, magazines, etc. to clear shit off. I have a big great room in my house and can't have company over looking at my "business," so that also helps...but, let's not talk about the master bedroom...

Why bother if she does, she has already PUNKED YOU!

[chilibrick]

it's hard to throw stuff out. after all, you spent money on it. if is not broken or out of date, why throw it out?

 

[Dannyblueyes]

When my wife was she stayed in the hospital often. When she left we'd steal everything that wasn't bolted to the floor. By the time she died we had 10 hospital blankets stashed in the closet.

Until recently I had an old ADAT recorder I used once in the last 3 years. I've also been carrying every cassette I ever owned since grade school. Gonna participate in the community spring cleaning event this weekend.

How big is your place? If you're splitting a Manhattan studio apartment then I can understand her concern. If your spot is any bigger than that, or if you don't even live with her, then she's just being bitchy.

Take some homegrown pics and vids from now just in case.

 

[VWchrisATL]

Yeah, whenever I buy electronics or anything that comes in a box, I always keep the box with the instructions & packing material. I may wanna sell it or take it back, even if I had that shit for a few years. My wife got mad @ me one day & called me a "pack-rat ass nigga".......I guess that's same as calling me a hoarder....

Likewise. I hold onto the packaging and manuals just in case.

My wife hates it and bitches me out but one time she bought this Brother printer. She was pissed about the price of ink and tried one of those refill kits. It looked like the Joker was thrown off of a skyscraper by Batman when she got done.

She went and bought another one while I reboxed the old one and then she took it back for a refund. She kind of holds her tongue now and just gives me the ole .

My father is a severe hoarder, so much so he has 2 storage units full of new shit and old shit. My Mama is a hoarder, so much so the garage is filled and she has 1 storage unit already. I am a hoarder by default but I really do need all these textbooks, papers, clothes and shit.

I hear you man. I'm a hoarder too, just like my mother. Its in the DNA. I'm working on it though. Threw away about 6 black bags of clothes recently from back when I weighed 350 (12 years ago). Still got about 4 bags of clothes at my mums house ready to go to the recycle centre. They still in good condition though. I've had them "ready to go" since february...
