People In This Online Thread Admit To Owning Too Much Stuff, Here Are 55 Things They Have Absurd Amounts Of
Findings from some years ago suggested that the average U.S. household owns 300,000 things, ranging from paper clips to ironing boards, implying that Americans own too much stuff. While these findings need to be updated, America's clutter problem seems to be as relevant as it was almost 10 years ago. However, the main question remains: why do people hoard? And the answer is far more complicated than just buying unnecessary stuff.
It's complex because there is no single answer to what causes hoarding. However, the most common reason is that particular things have feelings and memories attached to them. The second one is keeping things "just in case." People often save items for occasions that never seem to happen. Fortunately, many people realize that owning too much stuff is simply unreasonable. Hence, when a while back, someone in the AskReddit community asked, "What do you own a ridiculous amount of?" many were open to sharing their absurd collections of the most random things.
Below, we've compiled some of the most interesting replies from a thread where people shared unnecessary stuff they keep around the house that they can't seem to get rid of. Or don't want to! Can you relate to any of these absurd collections? Then give those entries an upvote! Also, are there items around your house that you have embarrassing amounts of? Let us know in the comments!

Books, I'm Never Moving Again
Jared Robinson 2 years ago
Never too many books. My library shall be vast. and in my library shall be another bigger library. A library of libraries if you will.
Terry Tobias 2 years ago
I've always wanted a library in a house... with a comfy chair and a fireplace, my cats in my lap and my dog laying next to me. Maybe in my next life.
Cate 2 years ago
I have nearly 4000 books and I have shelves everywhere, even in my loo and above doors. I have read every one of them (unless a reference book, although I used to read the encyclopaedia when I was young. Like others, I am never moving again, unless it is to a place with a dedicated library.

Okay: that there pic shows a number of books, and I feel the irrational urge to figure out the contents. 😄 I think I see Trudi Canavan in the far left shelf, Star Wars above that and Stephenie Meyer top middle.
Hilary Mol 2 years ago
I thought I'd never move again, and then I physically couldn't keep up with my house and HAD to move. I had to get rid of hundreds of books - a library's worth of books... and still have hundreds that came with me. The ones I got rid of were the ones I'd read and knew I wasn't going to read again - donated to the library for shelving or selling at their twice-yearly fundraising sale (I can't throw out a book, even the ones that make me so angry I want to throw them across the room). I knew I had hundreds of books... just not that MANY hundreds. Now I'm somewhere I hope I'll never have to move from again. Just in case, though, I'm going to be making more visits to the library and probably only strategic purchases of books (at least, in the near-ish future). Also, I **LOVE** those shelves.

A man got a divorce and moved to my mom's street. The first thing he did was to get a permit to build an extension to the house. Mom asked why? A single guy in a big house, why make it bigger. The answer, for his books. The whole house is a private library. This is my life goal. Books, books, and more books.

My dad got into a panic in the last two years or so of his and my mom's lives, and so when he went to the store, he could never remember how much tp they had, so he'd buy another pack. When they died, fairly close together, my brother and I split the tp equally. TWO years later, in a conversation with my brother, I mentioned finally having to buy more, and he laughed and said he'd just bought a pack. Two years worth for each of us.

Crafting Supplies
I’m a serial crafter in that I like to get really into a crafting hobby for a period of time (could be months, years, or sometimes just weeks), and then I move onto the next craft. I usually buy supplies for that hobby as though it will be a lifelong passion.
I’m also an aspirational crafter: I’ll see the potential in raw materials which “forces” me to buy said raw materials, but then I get lazy and the project never comes to fruition.
In short, I have two separate hobbies: collecting crafting supplies and crafting.

Don't homes just come with a plastic grocery bag full of other plastic grocery bags?

It's definitely better to keep them and re-use/repurpose them than to throw them out.

In most of Europe these have pretty much been outlawed. If you need a bag you have to pay for a decent reusable one. True, we have far too many of them as well, mostly left by holiday apartment renters, but they do at least get put to use. Well, except for the ones at the bottom of the pile, perhaps.

Dog Toys
"One of my dogs becomes obsessed with whatever new toy he gets and eventually destroys it. Rips it apart, tears out the squeaker, or just starts trying to eat it.
Even the big 'indestructible' ones that companies advertise, he finds a way to wreck them.
So why don’t I throw them away? Well, he’s a lab mix, and pretty much at all times, he carries a toy with him. When I get home he throws one at my feet. When I feed him, he brings one to his bowl. When we go to bed, he snatches one up and sleeps with it.
And he seems to go through different moods. One day it’s an old destroyed toy. The next one’s a tennis ball. The next day it’s one of his newer ones.
Every few days I pick them all up and stuff them in a box... which he promptly tips over and sifts through to find whatever toy he wants to play with. Yes, it’s annoying but it’s also adorable. Every time I’m about to throw one of them away, he starts playing with it again. So yeah, here I am with 50 or so toys, bones, and balls."

Nope. Completely worthless. They're copper plated zinc or steel since after 1982. 10 lbs of copper pennies is worth $18.82 and it's also illegal to melt down and break up currency in Canada. Otherwise, Canadians would have been keeping the people who melt and trade metals very busy.

My bf is collecting them now. Every Christmas and birthday I send him one of his choosing for a gift.

My husband has hundreds BUT that’s cuz he sells them! 😝 It’s not the main thing he sells but it’s on the list. My house is always full of “toys”, collectibles, sports paraphernalia, nonsports stuff. I couldn’t even estimate how much stuff he has. He of course has his personal collection too, but that’s pretty much McFarlane sports, mainly football and baseball, especially Dodgers.

I subscribe to Pop In a Box and get three random pops per month... I'm closing in on two years, plus all the ones I bought for myself when out and about...

Sweaters
"Here https://imgur.com/a/lSe2d1J is an album of all 162 of them (I realize a few are sweatshirts, but they have such huge sentimental value that I consider them equal). My goal is to one day have enough so that I can wear a different one each day of the year."

Pens/Markers. I’m Really Artistic So It Makes Sense. I Also Have A Crap Ton Of Books But That’s Besides The Point

Ex-teacher speaking: DONATE TO YOUR KIDS' CLASSROOM!!! Not directly to the school, they'll most likely end up forgetting cuz the office staff is busy enough. Talk directly to a teacher and ask if they can use them or if they know of a teacher who can (this goes for books too, obviously only if they're appropriate). Ask the art teacher too!

Pinball Machines - Over 100
"It started with getting one that didn't work. I didn't know how to fix it, and once I learned it was fun. I started collecting them. When they're broken they're often cheap to acquire."

You're gonna hate it even more when you're blamed for your choking child cuz you didn't put them out of reach. Or simply when your tiny pieces go missing. Best of luck with that.

Handbags. I Am At 160
"Well, I had 160 at the last count. I stopped counting. I've been asked WHY I collect them many times. I am a plus-sized person and I love fashion. However, there isn't a lot of fashion in my size. I gravitated to handbags and purses and wallets and luggage because there, size doesn't matter. It started with me wanting to get VERY EXPENSIVE bags at very low prices, I scoured second-hand shops and yard sales. Then eBay started (yes, I am THAT OLD) and I totally got taken by a fake Kate Spade and was so angry, I stopped buying bags on eBay. I now collect a VERY rare bag, they make sometimes 150 of a certain style/color so that I know I am getting the real thing as I buy directly now."

I can taste the vapidness. And I'm not sure why they insisted on us knowing their size. Are you vegan also? Wait, no. They woulda said that too.

Because I think they have a harder time finding things to wear that are both fashionable and their size. That’s why it’s important and they mentioned it :)

Most of these are colections, nothing wrong in having a colection of something.
