My friend hoards everything from television sets to cases and cases of food. He cannot buy just 1 of anything, he buys everything in the case or 2. He just recently put of 4 shelving units for his "finds" He has put shelving units up in every room in his house and he has 1 room just for what he calls "storage" He has 3 freezers full of food in the garage, 1 freezer full in the breezeway and a fridge full in the kitchen.
He is divorced, all his kids have moved out and are adults. His house is so full you cannot move around without climbing around cases and cases of food...everything from stewed tomato's to soup.
He has 5 water jugs full of water. He has a room full of plastic containers full of stuff. Its unbelievable. I cannot marry him unless he stops this nonsense and gets his life together. He is a great person except for his hoarding and filth. Have psychiatrist ever come up with a reason for hoarding?

When we go out to eat together, he has to save something off his meal to pack and take home with him, He gets all weird if I leave part of a potato or a roll behind. If we go to a burger joint, he eats about 1/2 the burger and saves the rest for home. He says he will take it to work for lunch. He always gets a refill on the pop or to take home and transfer to a plastic container for later.
