I to rid of a bunch of stuff over the last several years that I’d held onto for way too long.

books, old newspaper clippings, etc.

For some reason, I just couldn’t bear the thought of dumping it…until I started running out of room…

What do you have way too much of?

AskReddit users spoke up.

1. Way too much.

“Change.

I’m a bartender and cash-out as much change as I can at the end of the night, but still have some to throw in the change-jar at home.

After hundreds and hundreds of shifts, I’ve accumulated way more change than any person should ever have.”

2. Me, too!

“Boxes.

I have a bad habit of keeping the box to anything remotely expensive, thinking I might irrationally need it one day.

Just worked up the courage to throw out my two huge TV boxes today though, which I calculated took up nearly 2% of my apartment!”

3. Over the top.

“Containers.

Containers consist of: pretty boxes, baskets, Rubbermaid totes, fabric bins, wine crates, photo boxes, acrylic drawers, small bins, medium bins, large bins, acrylic shoe boxes, acrylic boot boxes…then come the bags…small bags, medium bags, big bags, tote bags, cooler bags, beach bags, canvas bags, reusable grocery bags, lunch bags, travel bags, makeup bags, take random s**t to work bags….there are more in sure.…I need a GIANT container for my containers.

Truth: Certain ones I won’t use, cause I don’t want to ruin them.”

4. Might have overdone it.

“Baking soda.

I saw on telly that baking soda and vinegar is a simple way to remove to remove tea stains from a travel mug, so I went on ebay, and not knowing how weight would correspond to size, decided 5 kg sounded about right.

Turns out, I bought a 50 year supply.”

5. Madhouse.

“Birds. We have too many IMO.

We have 2 macaws, a cockatoo, an African grey, and a blue front amazon. Our house is NEVER quiet.

That coupled with 5 dogs, 2 teenagers, there isn’t a quiet moment in my house during the day.”

6. Start using them!

“Condiments.

For someone that only use salt for cooking, two cabinet full of it are way too much.”

7. No regrets.

“I have too many tools.

My woodshop has maybe 7 or 8 tools that I use on a regular basis and like hundreds of specialized tools that are only needed once every other blood strawberry inverse moon.

But it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have, right? Right?? That said, the one time you need a turboencabulator and don’t have one usually ends in tears. I regret nothing.”

8. That’s kind of insane.

“Art supplies.

And… I just bought more. Good Grief.

I kinda bounce around to different art forms all the time. I’m doing all kinds of s**t right now.

Here’s the list of art forms I have equipment and supplies for:

Yeah, I’ve got a problem.

Don’t judge.”

9. Hoarder.

“I’m an obsessive hoarder so I quite literally have too much of just about everything.

I keep everything ranging from cds, books, movies, instruments and old tech like consoles and pc parts to cinema ticket stubs, old college and university projects, old toys I used to have as a child, almost every single handwritten thing someone’s done for me, old whiskey bottles and many many more.

At first I thought I just enjoyed collecting things and in many ways I do, however I’ve since realized I actually struggle to part with items regardless of how insignificant they are.”

10. I’ll take some!

“Squash!

Our garden has gone crazy and we have more than we could eat in a year!

Thankfully, everyone we’ve given it to has accepted it with open arms!”

11. Focus!

“Puzzles. It’s my ADHD hyper focus addiction.

My friend just gave me the coolest one I’ve ever had and will frame it.

It’s a wooden octopus but shaped like one, biggest pain in the a** and only 200 something pieces.”

12. Spice up your life.

“Paprika, for the last year about every other month I go to the grocery store she stare at spices thinking, “what is it I need.. paprika, must be paprika”.

I have cheap paprika, organic paprika, smoked paprika, McCormick paprika.. so much paprika.”

13. Plant lover.

“House plants.

I have almost 200 and counting… but I love them!!”

14. Wild kingdom.

“Pets in general for me. 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 cage birds, 1 opossum.

This is the low end for us.

We previously had 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 cage birds, 3 chickens. At another time we had about 14 pets including foster kittens.”

15. Gives me anxiety.

“My Gmail inbox currently has 99,491 unopened emails.

I don’t open them and don’t delete them.

It’s been over 9 years.”

16. Staying warm.

“Hoodies.

They’re my favorite article of clothing and I own 25-30ish.”

17. I’m jealous!

“Hot sauce.

About 120 bottles…I have no food in my fridge, send help.”

18. Wow.

“Scotch.

I have a deep love of the stuff, but I am not an avid drinker by any means. I maybe have 2 or 3 drinks a week. People keep gifting me bottles, which is great, but leaves me with too much.

I just went and counted. I have 6 open bottles that I have sampled, and 39 unique, sealed bottles of scotch that I haven’t gotten into yet. I also have several duplicates. 53 bottles in total.”

19. Tons of TVs.

“32” Televisions. I have 50 of them still remaining.

Hear me out: it was a good deal, a recreation lodge was refurbishing, the auction was cheap, under $20 per TV. I wanted to build a TV wall, surely others could use em, etc.

Now? They’re party favors.

You’re the electrician who helped me get the new hot tub run finished? Cool, want a tv or two!

Show up for a toga party? Don’t forget your free tv!

Your computer monitor broke? Here, it has a vga hookup, use the tv to hold ya over.

Your dog died? My condolences, watch the memorial videos on this tv.

Oh you might be in the hospital for a bit for an operation? Don’t worry, i got you set, take this TV and watch all your shows.”

20. That’s a lot!

“Cats. I blame my dad.

They are all rescues from the road or a field, or a few that just showed up at the house one day (we’re rural). Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally the right thing to do.

But we got a lot of cats now. We got 14 cats.”

21. They’re taking over.

“TOYS.

I have 4 kids and toys are taking over my house.

Most of them are pieces of random toy sets that are useless on their own, too.”

22. Impressive.

“Sweaters.

I have 164 of them and I have been collecting since high school.”

23. Cool!

“I have A LOT of coffee cups.

I just find it hard to get rid of them because I really do have fun choosing which one I will use each day.

I also really do think about the places I’ve been when I use them.”

24. What do you expect?

“Chicken s**t, it’s everywhere.

It’s on the sidewalk, driveway, porch, grass, decks….. just everywhere.

Kinda expected though, we do have over 700 chickens.”

25. You might want to stop.

“Pepsi Blue.

When it first came out in like 2002 or around that time, my sister and I drank it constantly during a Florida vacation. I missed it so much, that I was considering bidding on an old bottle on eBay a few years back. At the start of this year, it randomly popped into my head, and I googled it to find out that it was being rereleased in summer 2021.

When the time came, my sister and I drove to 6 different locations cleaning them out. Spend like 350 bucks during that first weekend trying to stock up before it disappeared again forever….. then I realized that soda has a relatively quick expiration date. I began drinking two a day to get through them, and I still am not half way.

It used to take me back to my childhood on the beach, but now, it just tastes like chemicals.”

26. Fire up the crockpot!

“Beans. I just have so many cans.

I forgot I had like 2 8 packs in the pantry, then there was a sale on at the shops and I just forgot I had beans already, so I bought more beans and yeah… now I have too many beans.”

What do you have WAYYYY too much of?
