There’s that and the “this could be useful later” mentality. Things like empty cans, bread ties, old computer bits, loose tools etc. And though I’m not even close to hoarder (more of a minimalist) saving some stuff has really come in handy, like old cables or aforementioned bread ties
Every tech geek got that box of old cables just because they might need one at some point.
And I for sure keep some extra bread clippy things around because I like them more than the twisty ties. But they also break a lot.
I also have a bunch of random crap in my drawers. I am organized in so far as everything has a place; but the place itself isn’t organized at all and, like, my nightstand drawer is just a box of random bullshit with 3 or 4 things I use daily. I got a bunch of those little pin-like things that go in Crocs. I don’t even have Crocs. 😭
I know it’s just a comic strip but I don’t think that’s the thought pattern behind trash accumulation.
Real thought process for this when it’s ADHD:
“I’ll take care of this when I get up.”
Forgets to take care of it when he gets up
Today I cleaned the last 6 month supply of empty ritalin pill boxes, felt great! Can’t wait to pile up the next 6months supply

Hoarders.
You don’t typically hoard trash, you hoard stuff. Trash accumulation is more from depression.
Stuff has a funny way of turning into trash when you’re not looking.
But it’s a joke
