not hoarding, as such
more just getting used to a thing being in a certain place.
like the lightbulb i had on one of my cabinets for 2 years. i put it on the shelf when i changed the bulb in the living room and kept meaning to throw it out. after about a week, i just got used to it and that became where the lightbulb "lived". my mate actually drew a face on it and called it bulbosaur. i still have odd things like that living on shelves and cabinets.
apart from that, i'm more of a collector. i collect dvd's(mostly horror), videos, books(mostly discworld), mugs(3 cupboards full) and knickers. i only have one arse, so i'm not sure how i managed to amass over 70 pairs of knickers.
still, at least it's not weird, right?

If the knickers are all yours
it's not weird.

Perhaps you could send them out to people, via mail order?

'Honestly, officer! I have no idea what those ladies are complaining about, but it's nothing to do with me.'


My husband also fails to get rid of his undergarments, but new ones are bought routinely. He owns more than I do, and I throw out pairs that pre-date our marriage (8 years ago) whenever I think he won't notice. His parents are the type that hold on to anything that even remotely functions and use it until it falls apart (like the energy-sucking fridge older than their son); we're working on him not becoming like that.

i swear, i don't remember buying most of them
i've got about 25 pairs of sloggi's, because they're excellent. apart from a few pairs from ethel's or b&m, i think the others just creep into my knicker drawer for company

Yes. This. For every bit of junk in my house.
