Why do i collect crap?

Question

What is my fascination with collecting paper, envelopes and other useless crap!

Answer 1

This is quite common. Lots of people collect 'junk'. I've got a jar full of wine corks - I mean, what effin use are they? Unless it's a means of checking up on my own self indulgence and wine boozing over the last year. Better hide the jar, because according to UK.gov statstics, I should now be dead.

Why not throw all those bits of useless paper on the bonfire??

Answer 2

Lots of people collect things. In times past when there was not such abundance people collected string and ended up with a hugh ball, and other things, matchbooks, pencils etc. Now collecting is a little more complex.
