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.

      Oh god yes. I have so many extra switches, connectors, resistors, capacitors, microcontrollers, little screens, sensors, etc……

      Then I had to buy so many little containers to hold them all. When I die my family is gonna hate me.
