Hoarding
Willenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

My deceased Father-In-Law
Could never throw anything away. Even a 6 inch piece of string would be hoarded, and put away "just in case I might need it some day".
Obviously, it never did, but it got to be such a running joke with us, that when the old fellow finally popped his clogs, I tied a book up (he was always reading, and I promised him when I'd finished said book (Blue Blood, by Edward Conlon, if anyone is interested)), with said pieces of string, and placed in his coffin.
After all, he couldn't go into whatever is after all this with no string, could he?

Good idea
Rotting flesh eventually turning to compost is nothing without string... oh, hang on.
