I have been in a new relationship for over a year now and recently discovered my partner is a hoarder.
He saves all his take out plastic drink cups, bags of ketchup's, napkins, plastic utensils, plastic bags, it's all junk. I keep telling him please throw this junk out.
We have real silverware, beautiful drinking glasses and so on. When he is not home I have to continue to throw things out and sometimes he finds out and has a fit.
I am one of those people who has a place for everything and like my house to be neat, but now having a problem keeping it that way.
What should I do?

DeLorean was another genius. Too bad he got caught up with some bad dudes.
My favorite of his is the Pontiac Gran Prix SJ.

Well, my tool hoarding paid off today. Daughter came over with the serpentine belt off the car. A little research and the harmonic balancer was found to be coming apart. Decided to replace it, the belt, and while I was in there a new front main seal. Took two hours including a run to the parts haus.
And I had every single tool I needed.
And I was pleased.

I think you have misunderstood tools sir.
The best jobs are not the ones that you have everything you need for but the ones that justify buying a tool you do not yet have.
