What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders?
What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders?
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.

Need a small part? Better buy 10 in case you break one and because it's only marginally more expensive than getting one. Now repeat for every project you do
Don't get me started on the broken or obsolete thrown away shit I keep around "for parts or that one time I might need it"
Well, last week I finally soldered the cut cables of the otherwise working basic (literally a transformer, bridge rectifier, fuse and voltmeter) 12V lead acid battery charger from 2007 I found earlier this year to charge a tractor battery, so that's a plus
oh god i have so many junk boards i keep just in case i need some part. ive stripped them for parts maybe a handful of times over years.
please send help.
I don't want to desolder all the relays off this washing machine board to throw it away only to find out I needed a double optocoupler!
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.
And then never even one of the parts…
