My two best friends are both sons of hoarders. One of the dads is a full "the city is gonna condemn your place for being uninhabitable" hoarder that could have easily qualified to be on the Hoarders TV show; the other is more like "has too much stuff and is too reluctant to get rid of it". Unfortunately, both of my friends have inherited their dads' traits. I offer to help out and often remind them that "the stuff you own eventually owns you".

To be fair though, one of my hoardy friends just dropped by last week and returned a first edition AD&D dungeon masters guide book that he borrowed 30 years ago and I completely forgot about. I move a lot so tend to donate/sell/toss stuff quite frequently. Oh, and I forgot about my uncle who is also a hoarder. I think I'm going to head over to his place and re-possess a Vic-20 computer that I gave him ~35 years ago. It would be very fun to refurb that thing (and then use it or sell it; ain't gonna become a hoarder myself!)
