Which are you?
I had a lot of heart-searching before throwing my old VHS and Compact Cassette tapes away, despite the fact that I got rid of the players long before (they really did wear out, or I'd probably still be using them). I still have a pile of LPs, but no player and no desire to listen to them. All the tracks I want are already on my iPod. CDs are rapidly going the same way. I haven't listened to a CD in literally years.
I thought of doing a poll, but I think that many of us will fall into several categories. I'm in 2,3 and 5.
PS: by ‘throwing out' I mean get rid of by any means, including recycling or charity shops
- Ruthless about throwing stuff away you don't use, regardless of condition.
- Throw anything away which you don't use, except things which seem ‘too nice to chuck'.
- Generally pretty good, but have hang-ups about some things, such as books.
- Only throw broken or worn-out stuff away.
- OK, but cannibalize gadgets and things for potential spares before throwing them out.
- A bit of a hoarder, and have to have an occasional major clear-out.
- A real hoarder; never throw anything
