Bait
I spent the last 3 days at my business owners expense to help clear out one our VP’s grandpa’s house. Two 30 cubic yard dumpsters, one 16’ box truck of stuff to an auction house to “sell” along with another for miscellaneous stuff and a fridge and stove.
This is for me as much as it is for you, as I have a bunch of stuff myself.
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

But if you procrastinate cleaning up long enough, eventually it becomes someone else’ s problem.

When my father in law kicks the bucket we’re gonna have a lot to do. No one is even sure how many garages full of things he owns.

Oh God, its going to be a nightmare when something happens to my dad. They keep talking about doing something to start thinning things out a little while their both still around, but I haven’t seen any progress.

A few years back I spent months slowly sorting through bags that had followed me through multiple moves and junk that had completely filled my home office. I filled the back of my Grand Cherokee with the back seats folded twice with things that went to electronics recycling. Filled the back without folding seats twice for Goodwill, a nd once more for paper recycling . And that’s not counting all the stuff that went out in the trash and curbside recycling .
And now that room I cleared is nearly full again. Fuck.

That was in the neighborhood. They already sold the truck he had.

I joked with my mom about bringing in a dumpster when she passed. I ended up with two. Then we had a truckload of furniture and another trailer load of my grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s stuff that my mom had stored in her shop.

Yeah, I’ve cleaned out enough of my grand parents’ and in-laws’ shit, that I don’t want to do that to my kids. We regularly sell things that are worth selling, and donate things that aren’t worth the trouble.
We’ve pulled four truck loads of shit out of my basement in the last couple weeks, with more to go. When I hit retirement, I’ll start selling off the diecast collection.
So yeah. Don't hang onto stuff.

I’m getting flashbacks to cleaning out my father’s house. He was a hoarder. Not the kind that buys stuff and piles it up without ever using it. The kind that pulls junk out of other peoples trash and brings it home.
