Even though I thoroughly enjoy throwing things away, I could totally become one of those people who hoards stuff. See, I enjoy throwing used items away. New, unopened items, on the other hand, I crave.

Sometimes I am plagued with the idea, "it doesn't spoil." Underwear, for example, doesn't spoil, nor does it go out of style, for the most part. I think most people have about 10-15 pairs of skivvies at any given time, and I'm no different. However, why purchase underwear only when you need to? And why purchase underwear in reasonable quantities? There is no reason why you shouldn't buy like, a hundred pairs of undies all at once. They'd last forever, because you'd only wear them something like three or four times a year. And laundry day would be hilarious -- ALL UNDIES. Awesome.

Likewise, toothbrushes don't go bad. I like to use a nice, new, soft-bristled toothbrush. Why not have a couple hundred on hand, so you never have to use a worn-out brush? Plus, when people get drunk and fall asleep at your house, they will be so grateful in the morning to be able to brush their teeth with a new, unused toothbrush instead of with their finger.

There are so many things that fall into this category -- soap, shampoo, shaving cream, toilet paper, etc. Hell, if I were getting a tax return this year, I know what I'd be spending it on.

Socks.
