  • IT HAPPENED WOE IS ME

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Wed Sep 11 22:53:43 2024

    I threw out my old cables, and the cable I knew I had I THREW OUT.

    Today, I NEEDED IT.

    How could I let this happen?

    I'm never throwing another cable out, EVER.

    So many girlfriends - so many fights. I don't throw out boxes or cables - ever. Don't care if she doesn't like it, and I STILL find missing cables... an old external USB monitor that I can't get running - lol, I won't throw the monitor out either tho!!!

    Same! Drives the wife crazy, so I bought a bunch of plastic bins with
    drawers (DAISO in the Bay Area sells them cheap) and I try and keep them organized by type. But then there are the cabinets filled with keyboards,
    mice, PCBs, game controllers -- and like 5 monitors, including a HUGE
    Sony CRT -- in the basement.

    Yeah. Feel like a hoarder sometimes BUT IT'S NOT JUNK I SWEAR :>

    Oh that is in incredibly frustrating. But to be honest, who hasn't been there?

    This has happened to me a couple of times and yet the urge to "tidy up and throw out all that useless stuff" still comes back......

    My inner hoarder clearly need needs to be more dominant.

    ... Oxymoron: Sensible shoes
