The Organized Hoarder - A Place for Everything!!

[JuJube340]

This really doesn't bother me b/c it's in a garage, and actually, it looks ALOT better than my garage

[brokkenstar]

@JuJube340 Actually it's in a cellar.

[JuJube340]

@brokkenstar even still, don't believe he's a hoarder unless his whole house looks like this. It looks alot better than my cellar/Garage does ^_^

So, this person does a lot of laundry and eats a lot of tuna sandwiches...

[brokkenstar]

@trinitymike Apparently that would be so.

How many times have we went to the store to buy something because we had it at home but couldnt find it?? This guy saves money through hoarding and organizing. Im envious...

[TheKerryzzz]

This person is smart. Saves money through saving and organizing.

[AnElephantThatPaints]

A person might as well build up a thrift store with all these excess possessions. I hoard a little bit because I don't like throwing things into the garbage can (as an environmentalist), but at least I make an effort to give things away if others can use them, or create mixed media projects.

[brokkenstar]

@AnElephantThatPaints Whatever do you mean by mixed media projects? You must be an artist, junk-art can be very interesting, I shall pass on your ideas.

[lifewithoutmywife]

At least everything is organized and most of the containers seem to be recycled.

I can't say the same thing about what I hoard: /watch?v=mKIh0CvQ0Hs

[brokkenstar]

@lifewithoutmywife Yeah, but your young, give it time.

I noticed the shelves of antique books. I bet some of those might be valuable if they aren't moldy.

[brokkenstar]

@RpKingman Checked, they're only 50-60 years old, mostly old college and naval battle books.

[RpKingman]

This person is talented but for little purpose. Somewhere there is the correct job for this person, and they would be very valuable in sorting and organizing. Unrecognized talent used for a useless purpose.

[brokkenstar]

@RpKingman Thank you for your intuitiveness and analysis, you may be correct, this man has recently retired as a police officer of 30+ years; this kind of mindset is very American in that there is an outbreak of storage facilities around the nation. As a citizen of the most materialistic nation on earth, that wastes so much in so many different areas of life, one can see how some are charged with saving what is valuable. The problem as always, is that not everyone is in agreement.

[giaisbomb]

@RpKingman ----Right. It seems OCD-- like organizing. Too much can be too much.....OCD wastes much time and energy.

[brokkenstar]

@giaisbomb Righto my friend, for the Grim Reaper comes and takes you away, leaving behind a conglomeration of rusted relics, useless junk, and bags and boxes filled with crazy hopes of living to use it, but living to use it would take a thousand years and more.

[giaisbomb]

@brokkenstar ----This person seemed to be obsessed with organization---all the laundry detergent bottles! It's actually fine if you are doing projects that use all these "items" in the detergent bottles, regularlly. I see a better kind of organizer to use---that would take up less space. Like something with drawers. Was this person your Family member? OCD does that, makes you do useless things with no real purpose, actually. OCD is really some kind of horrible brain glitch.

[vvalez83]

Who's is this? Is this your mess or someone close to you? Is there a purpose for all this ?

I do not understand?

[brokkenstar]

@vvalez83 It's a hoarder's mess, the purpose of a hoarder is to keep anything of value, don't give it away, don't throw it away, just keep; and sometimes they realize the madness, and then usually throw it all away, when they should have given it away or thrown it away in the first place.Because they will not live long enough to ever use it anyway. By the time they're dead the stuff all is caked with dirt, dust, rust, et cetera, so the next occupier has to throw it all away.
