What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders? (kbin.melroy.org)

I think people who are into crafts. They have all of these yarns, construction papers, various tools and stuff. All so that they can say that they have all of these projects in mind that they want to do. But they never do them so they get more crafting stuff and it just eats away storage until their place is practically consumed by it.

This is the one hobby where you actually might use the thing you're hoarding just in case.

last week i needed the dvi to hdmi converter cable i've been saving in my cable hoard for like 8 years and i have never felt so validated

Nice! So vindicating when that happens.

but it is a double edged sword, lol. now that i have proved to myself that those cables really will come in handy one day, i am forever stuck with a slowly growing stash of cables!

True. But do I really need all those case fans that I'm holding onto? Or that big bag of DDR3? Probably not but it's cool ok...

All I can say is that you'll need them within 6 - 12 months of getting rid of them.
