    Growing up in a house with hoarder parents:

    • Having absurd amounts of pretty much anything standing around in the house.
    • Parents going through your trash and blaming you for throwing away certain things that were ‘still good to use’ (they weren’t).

      We had 3 breadmakers. 2 were in new in box for multiple years

      Why hadn’t they chosen like cabbage patch kids or game consoles

      NOOOO they had to hoard kitchen counter appliances.

      My dad is 80+, has a pristine vitamax blender in box but still uses a crappy one he got at a thrift store because he wants to get as much out of his investment as possible

      i have them, they will literally fight you physically, kick and scream if you try to throw anything out. its a problem if they start to get mouse/rat infestation, even then they dont think about it. or getting canes, or old pet food, picking up someones used sports bottle off the street
