10 Ways To Tell You’re Actually A Hoarder, Not A Collector

I don't think there there is anyone on the planet who is not familiar with the show Hoarders. Makes me wonder about some things. Have you ever visited someones house only to find it filled with junk? You ask them, "What the hell is all this stuff?" They reply back to "I'm a collector."

Meanwhile, you walk away thinking "So he enjoys collecting crap". Or maybe you're the one with a house full of "collectables". Here are some sure fire ways to tell that you might just be a hoarder.

Ways to tell you are not a collector, but actually a hoarder:

10. If your family refuses to come over until you get rid of your "collection".

9. If you have more than 5 copies of old news papers.

8. The last time you sold a "collectable" was in 1983, and it was a container to hold your pot.

7. Most of your "collectable" items have the Banquet logo on them.

6. If you have ever run out of toilet paper and been able to substitute a "collectable".

5. If you have more pets than you do working appliances.

4. When people come to view your "collection" they bring haz-mat suits.

3. If you refer to a oil-drum bbq grill as an antique cooking apparatus.

2. If you have "collectables" stacked three feet high next to an un-flushed toilet.

1. If you have ever been looking through your "collectables" and come across a dead animal.
