Does anyone else get like this? I get weirdly attached to things. For example, I've had a pair of black leather driving gloves for 12+ years. They work great, they are nice and warm, and there is nothing wrong with them. Except, when I bought them, texting wasn't really a thing, and it is now. Costco has some really nice texting gloves, for like $14, so I bought them. For some reason they've been sitting there unopened for a week, as I have a strange attachment to the ones I've been using for years. What the heck is up with that! It's 27 degrees today where I live, and I'm sitting in my car with cold hands, because I needed to send a text so I took a glove off so I could text, when I have a nice warm pair of texting gloves at home! Uggg, what the heck! (I'm not driving, just waiting for someone )

I don't like to share my scrap supplies and certain pens with my daughter. She knows to ask permission and then I point to what is okay to use. I hide the pens.  |

I had a pair of Keen shoes...my very first pair...that I just could not let go of. They were a complete disaster with holes in the soles and the sole actually separating from the shoe itself in places, but I couldn’t give them up. Finally, in August, right before we disembarked from our honeymoon cruise, I took a picture of them on my feet for the very last time and left them in the trash barrel in our stateroom. They were 10 years old and I literally had tears when I walked away without them😭😭.
Ridiculous, I know, but my new ones just aren’t the same...

I get like that with software. I’ll have the old version installed on my computer and I’m used to it but buy a newer version because I found a deal on it. Then the newer one will sit in the box for months uninstalled. Why? Because I know it will be different and the thought of fighting through the learning curve of all the changes makes me cringe.
I did the same thing with a new electronic cutter I bought a couple years ago to upgrade from my old one that had been in service for over 10 years. Where is the new one? In the travel bag under my work table because I don’t know the software as well as the old cutter that’s still hooked up on my desk.
Consider yourself validated, LOL.

Yeah, I have this strange attachment to DH. I've had him for 47 yrs, he's old, slow and rundown but I just can't part with him.  |

I had a couple of t-shirts that I had a ridiculous attachment to. One was a Rip Curl t-shirt and the other was a t-shirt from the dive company when I first learnt to scuba dive - 25 years ago! The rip curl one was even older. I finally got rid of them a few months ago. And I have to admit, I now have pangs of regret that I threw them away!

I had a bottle of Juicy perfume my dad bought me right before he passed..it was the last thing he got me and when it died I refused to open it...I took the box with me everywhere in my purse until I decided to display it with my other purfumes. It got stolen..along with all my other purfumes by someone I have to see everyday, but I have to keep my mouth shut about it to keep the peace 🙄.

luckyexwife I don't consider it strange at all! Just normal attachment that is past generations, before so many things were disposible, would have been considered a healthy "use it up" behavior and not be wasteful.

They get to enjoy their ill gotten goods, probably not thinking much of it while you are forced to stew over it for however long it takes, probably always. Life is too short to grant someone that option just to keep peace. Whoever you are having to keep the peace for should have at least asked for the special perfume back. People who steal and get away with it ( or assume they did) will do it again. You are a stronger person than me. AND I am sorry that this happened to you:( |

I have my big clunky Asics from 2007. I can't throw them out, eventhough I bought a shiny new pair last year. Those shoes saw a lot of broken feet and kept going.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Pens. I like a very specific type of blue office pen. I know exactly how many I have and when one is missing I go bonkers.
Among too many other things to even describe.
