Seriously, my grandma's house is filled with shit that she doesn't need, and she insists on keeping it. News paper ads from months ago, shit loads of boxes of stuffed animals, tons of expired canned goods. Just shit. But she never will get rid of it. She has a full closet full of fucking laundry soap. A FULL CLOSET FULL!!??

Because they are old and they like keeping stuff

Keeping stuff for what reason?

Think about it. If you only have one thing in an entire year that you decide to keep and will definitely never throw away, imagine how that accumulates over 70 years.

throw back to our caveman days when you any stuff was rare and so you kept it, unfortunately in a modern capitalistic society you can get many things quite easily.

I know what you mean, my Grandmother has rooms full of old magazines child's toys recipe books, ROOMS full of shit that will never be used... And their stubborn and get pissy about anybody wanting to HELP them get rid of some of the useless shit...

Same with my grandmother. She stockpiles so much shit like we're still in the Cold War.

*ObZ

Many older people have been trough tough times and thus save shit.

I know my grandparents were like that, having lived trough the 30`s and the second world war they never trew away a thing.

Shit, that ended? Why did no one tell me?

I still have 5 years worth of canned peaches in my basement.

My grandma throws everything out. She's fucking obsessed with cleaning. It's really fucked actually. She lives with us and I'll come home from the weekend or something and the living room will be a totally different room, like someones bedroom or something. And everything that was in the living room before will be thrown out and taken to the dump already. She'll do this in like a day when no one is home all by herself. It's fucked.

Ask Meta, I'm sure he has gigs of files he knew he'll never use again archived into dvds.

I have one DVD of backup and that is all songs of mine.

Why ask me?

Or are you implying I am old? If so, 44 is hardly old. I hardly even have any gray hair.

Nice try, though...

It was a pretty good try, it got a rise out of you.

That stuff is precious to them.
Mind your own fucking business.
How would you like it if your grandparents would decide to get rid of their worst piece of trash and start by thrownig your ass out.

Be nice to old folks. You might live long enough to be one.

That would accumulate to approximately 70 things.

Old people can't be arsed to get rid of shit they don't need.

Alzheimer ftw

Ah...the "syndrome" had manifest itself in you. And let me guess, none of them songs you burned onto the DVD were produced within this decade...

Well, considering the fact that you're surrounded by 12y.olds, being 40+ certainly makes you look old, in fact, one of the oldest, and in a couple of years, you'll certainly start to "mutate" into a whiny and grumpy old man who're pissed at everything and everyone.

And by then, the only thing that stands between an angry-ol-Meta and the society is drugs, lots and lots of drugs.

Yea,...as always, you have bee very predictable,

Longer time to collect I guess...

I would think the larger side of it could possibly be related to obsessive compulsive disorder, either that or trying to maintain old memories. Any ways possessions are overrated.
