DO I LIVE WITH A HOARDER? PICS INSIDE.
Or am i just being overly sensitive? First, a little background.
Im a pretty easy guy to live with, i keep to myself, gone a lot, etc. I believe my roomate is what i would call a "FOODIE" he likes to cook every meal, nothing is simple. Like if i want a salad, i go to the store, buy a bag of the premade salad, some croutons, dressing, done. He will go out an buy lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc etc etc etc. In the process hell dirty up like 5-10 dishes while he chops, slices, makes everything. Not only that but its not like he buys stuff for 1 salad hes eating, its usually bags of tomotoes, etc.
So, we have a really small kitchen with no cupboard space at all. keep that in mind.
My main question is, IS THIS NORMAL?
5 Boxes of cereal for 1 person?
5-6 different kind of juices/drinks for 1 person?
5-6 different kinds of "crackers"?
5 -6 different kinds of like trail mix crap?
Hoarding? Compulsive buying?
The main problem is he doesnt finish ANYTHING. Hes done the same thing with beer (buys 6-7 different kinds of 6 packs, NEVER FINISHES THEM). Ive gotten in the habit of just throwing shit out when its 1/4 full , but im getting tired of policing my kitchen.
Ive made offhand comments before like "why do you need 5 boxes of cereal" and the response is "because i like variety."
For comparisons sake my groceries are usually 1 box of cereal, 1 gallon of milk, box of granola bars, usually 4-5 different kinds of FROZEN meat (chicken,salmon,steak) , maybe a bag of chips here and there but rarely.
SHOULD I HAVE A TALK WITH HIM, OR AM I OVERREACTING AKA THIS BEHAVIOR IS PERFECTLY NORMAL
