Hoarding

We all know someone who might be a hoarder. They can’t pass up a good deal. They’ll buy another one before using the one they’ve got. They can’t part with things. They’ll use it, they promise. Yeah, yeah, save it for someone who cares. They accumulate, accumulate, accumulate.

Here’s the revelatory list. You might be a hoarder if…

10. You keep extra “Fire” packets from Taco Bell, in case you want to spice up some food at home.

9. You have more than one bottle of conditioner open at a time.

8. You have more than two piles of dirty laundry.

7. You need to follow narrow paths in the carpet to get from one place to the next.

6. You’ve noticed that parts of the bread are moldy. (“Some of it can be salvaged though,” you’re thinking. No. It can’t).

5. You keep something with no sentimental value that’s broken: “Hey man, I had to borrow a pen, but it wasn’t working, so then I tried another one I saw right next to it, and that one didn’t have any ink in it either. What’s up with that?” / “Oh, did you get it from my windowsill? Because that’s where I keep my dead pens.”

4. You always have something to blow your nose with. Often, it is either used, crumpled up in a tight ball, and from a fast food joint.

3. You have more than two flavors of cream cheese in your fridge. Both are opened and one is beginning to mold.

ehh

2. You collect “collections.”

1. You are oblivious of the shows Hoarding: Buried Alive and Hoarders.

About Riley

I'm Riley. One could say that I started this website. It's a continuation of the Ithacan't, a publication created during a semester in Los Angeles to cure boredom and make an effort to entertain students living in Burbank. Needless to say, I like to write, as well as be awesome. But there's more to me than just that. I like to run; Sometimes in races, but oftentimes just in the trails of Ithaca. On Sundays I might be hungover, because on Saturday night... I like to drink beer; Natty, especially. Otherwise I'm going to spend money on a craftier beer. Or a bottle of Scotch - which isn't produced in... America; a place I like to respect and honor. Occasionally, I write. But there's no photographic evidence of that, so just take my word for it. Enjoy!
