    You should see my face when we needed some obscure thing I hoarded like years ago, that got threatened to be thrown out by my wife multiple times over the pass years.

    Some of those occasion that I can recall:

    _a clothes patcher I bought from AliExpress (used 7 years after purchased)

    _a gasoline syphon (3 years after purchased, used on my wife’s car in an emergency. I still bring it up till this day everytime she tried to throw out something I hoarded)

    _a couple of self-tapping screws (used 5 years after purchased)

    _electric lint remover (lost count of when I got it)

    _velcro tape (used 6 years after purchased)
